Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've posted anything (Well, then again I never really posted much anyways. Usually just came by to read). Starting to get back into the hobby and I can see a lot has happened since I dropped it a few years ago. Feels weird to be posting about something...

Hi to anyone who bothered to read this thread. I'm getting a PS3 Optical Pickup (or sled, whichever's more appropriate) and it's coming right now. I just wanted to know what the highest and safest current to run the diodes at, cause i don't want to go too low (yes i know, these are like 5-7...

Hi. People on the forum are distinguishing Old and New style dorcies, saying that they need different heatsinks. I dont actually know the difference, can someone show me pics for comparison or tell me the difference? Thanks

:thinking: Anyone else notice? Or is it just me. I type in the HTD URL and I get a message saying that the website dosen't exist. I google it and hit the link. Same result. Is this happening to anyone else? Btw, while the site was still working, did it ever redirect anyone to a screen saying...

Hi. Whenever I see a tutorial for a Dorcy Jr. they always tend to use cr123a primaries. Is there a reason that they don't use rcr123a's other than because primaries are usable?

Hi anyone who's reading this. people have been saying that if you use the adaptor for meredith, the diode has to be completely flush. the only tools i have right now are a bunch of aixiz backhalves and an oversized vise. is there any way i can push the diode into the adaptor so its completely...

Hi. I want to buy some O-like modules but I want to know if they have IR filters in them (I dont want to be blinded by the light o___O). I tried using the Contact Us link, but it didnt work when I tried it. Does anyone know if they have IR filters?

Hi. As many of you know the rayfoss site is down and most likely wont be back for a while. I wanted to purchase a few things from them, until the site went down. Does anyone know any alternative sites i could get rayfoss hosts from? (and yes i made use of the search button)

Hi. A few days ago I was on eBay looking for Phr's and i decided to see if they had any GGW's. so i typed in GGW-H20L and I came across a very nice GGW laser, I really wanted it, but then i saw the price: $599.00. So then I decided to see if i could build my own, but i dont know the which...

Hi. I've bought a few PHR's and have broken at least 1 or 2 optic each time i try to pull out the optics, especially the turning mirror. can someone tell me how to pull each optic out without breaking some part of it?

Hi. I want to build a rayfoss laser thats 5mW<. Does anyone know of any modules that will fit the Rayfoss host?

I've been wondering about the laser diode identification for the GGW-H20L laser diodes. On HTD, while they were selling GGWs, he said that the middle diode was the 16x red diode, and the other exposed one was the IR one. On youtube rkcstr said the middle was the IR diode and the other exposed...

Hi. Just wondering, but I've been hearing about people desoldering the laser driver from the 5mW AiXiZ diodes and using it to power their laser diodes. I'm just wondering how many mA they put out. Thanks
