looking at the bottom of the board, there's virtually no pads/barrels left and the board itself is pretty badly delam'd so.... thinking i'm going to have to replace these Off Board style, just need to make sure to keep them away from any hot spots. i'll shrink wrap them to prevent shorts but as...

Finaly found some time to clean off one of my workbenches so i have some room to inspect well, photograph and start the repairs..... heres some decent higher res "before" photos, incl a nice closeup of the rectifier diodes (you can see one has bulged out on the bottom and the other two are...

no, i've just been in the electronics repair field long enough to know NOT to jump head first into expensive electronics that are not in my exp, rather to query others to see if this is a common problem and make sure that any other bases are covered. o.o

ohhh don't worry... spent the last 20 years repairing electronics. have a full rework station in my lab. but TY! :D

well, i was thinking a ducted fan, 120v self powered, not off the laser PSU... i Could connect a relay to have it controlled by the laser but that seems unnecessary IMO. maybe just an indicator light to let me know when it wants the fan on/off and just flip the switch by hand. there doesn't seem...

$30. i saved it from an electronics recycling place that i like to frequent. i also picked a very nice SP-107b 35mW HeNe from there. the LP ar/kr had already been picked at by someone, they yanked the Hr meter out of it :/ but the rest of it was in good shape. a lil FOD in the fan cowl but the...

you don't wanna know what i paid for it. lol ;)

Hi Everyone! I scored a LP Reliant 300WC this weekend. condition unknown, but it looked clean. after cleaning some FOD out of the fan cowling, i fired it up, 3x in total. over the period of a day, fired all 3 times perfectly. adj control worked fine. beam rose and fell accordingly. no odd...

funny thing, i just happened to stop by Astro II today and picked up.... *drumroll* A Beautiful LaserPhysics Reliant 300WC for $30!!!!! Yes, $30.00. now just need to free up some 240v in my house... even if it needs regassing, totally worth it! ;)

lol, i was wondering if anyone would notice that. i'd joined while doing some searching/research on availability on some items, then that pesky RL got in the way for a while.... now... not as much of an issue. i have a pristine SP-127b/907/107 He-Ne 35mW lab laser as well as some other odds and...

sweet! ty!

LOVE your tag line!

i sure am! and ty!!! and to you, i offer with Astro II (now MRE Electronics) just outside of Melbourne. it's a GREAT Electronics Surplus/recycling place. (contact me for details) i scored a mint SP-107B (35mW min) for $20 there. it's a part-out facility so alot of the work is "pull-your-own...

TY Everyone!

ok, so when's the next one???? :D if it's anywhere near the space coast, bet you @zz i'll be there!

I'm looking for these as well. seem to more harvest item then a purchase item. i'd like to find a few dozen if i can but if i need to buy a large one and cut it down, i will.... would REALLY prefer plastic to glass in that case however. with a large enough enclosure and a few beam combiners, i'd...

Hi! No, not yet. i havent really had the space or resources until just recently. it IS something i've considered looking into tho. the majority of my laser exp is based on either high power "destructive" lasers or "light show" style systems. i have been considering turning my 2nd livingroom into...

Hello Everyone! i just wanted to into myself and say hello to my fellow laser addicts! I'm Chuck, AKA Fritz HID on CPF and other forums as well. I have and have had a wide collection of lasers over the years starting with my 1st... an old surveyors HeNe 2mW i acquired from a neighbor when i...
