These are neat little ASICs, I had a couple myself but I gave up after the realization I'd never make any money doing this casually. The difficulty has been pushed way up due to 1TH+ ASIC availability. Still if somebody is interested in learning and experimenting, these are a great way to...
You care to post a bit more info than that? Wavelength? Power output? Pics? Prices? This post kind of looks like a scam. Where are you in the north east?

Rats. I'm literally 25 minutes from the ME border and have been watching BST for a 100-200mw 532nm that I wanted by next weekend, was excited until I saw they were all around 5mw :P.
thanks, been watching BST every day :). there's one up there but it's in norway and to get it here in time is quite a premium as it should be.

I just went to check and unfortunately the sticker with it is MIA. And I realized I have no idea what the power output is (and i don't own a LPM). I realized it's just a warning label that says maximum power output is 5mw, but it's just a generic label.
Hmm, if I find it works maybe I'll just...
Assuming it works (it did last time I used it 10 years ago but can't test until I find the fuse cap and a fuse).
Photo I grabbed off the net. mine doesnt have all the sticky gunk.
Here's a lower powered one on eBay (priced way too high) that provides more general info

I started looking into doing laser shows perhaps 20 years ago. I acquired a HeCd 442nm laser that had a giant power supply, it was two piece industrial unit, a meterologic HeNe (still have that in the basement) and an Argon. I also picked up some cambridge technologies closed loop galvos and a...
