Nice! Well done.
I had a t-5 1000mw that I fried while attempting to figure out a new power supply. I forgot that I still had the LD hooked up. I zapped the crap out of it LOL
I'll buy another one after Christmas. I have a housing already modified for it.

I believe there is a topic in the general section explaining most of the different types of diodes.

ya cept i dont trust it, said TO-18 was one lead co-axial, I bought one and I beg to differ. it was a 5.6mm diode.
