[highlight]Thank you for your interest. This laser is now sold[/highlight]

I feel like "Crazy Gideon" here. It is amazing how fast this stuff piles up.

This one was the hardest to pull out of the drawer to sell. First, because it is a "Milos" build (the last one from the third generation). Second, because with what has been happening with blu-ray lasers in the last few months, I am taking a major loss on it. I decided to go ahead with selling it because I do NOT use it. It is a great little unit, but it is just sitting in the drawer! I figure somebody out there, who really wants a bu-ray but can't afford what is being offered, could have one. I enjoy my blu-ray's more than any of my other lasers.

Anyway, offered here is a Milos build 405nm laser. It is putting out 22mW. It uses the PS3 diode. It is powered by a single 9V battery. It utilizes an adjustable wheel to turn on. It is "labeled" as only 14mW, but that was done before we discovered that the Lasercheck wasn't giving a true measurement to the 405nm lasers. It is putting out a steady 22mW. I am offering it here for $100 shipped in the US.

[highlight]Make me an offer[/highlight] It seems such a shame to have a nice unit like this relegated to the back of the drawer because we are all about burning power now. If you will use it, I will be pretty generous :)

It's still a great deal! If I didn't have two, I'd be looking at getting this one!
 
Re: FS:  22mW "Milos" Blu-ray

It's crazy what's happening with blu-rays. 4 months ago I bought my first 8-10mw box style blu-ray for $144 shipped. A few months later I bought a 21mw blu-ray from milos for $190. A few weeks ago I bought a MXDL 80mw blu-ray from you for $150 shipped. Now I have 1 blu-ray that sits in the closet collecting dust and another that I rarely use.

I think I'll just stop buying them for a while and see what happens. At this rate people will be selling 6X blu-rays for $250 shipped in 4 months.

I agree. Like I said, this was the hardest one to offer. I paid $200 for it at what we thought was 14mW! Today, for $150 more I have offered 123mW MORE in one of the other threads!! Oh well, if this doesn't sell it will go back in the drawer and become a part of history ;) Maybe I'll put it in the little scanner I got from Laserman and hook a 9V power source to it.

Peace,
dave

Dave, I might pick it up from you...as I'm craving a "collection". I will let you know what the funds allow me to do this weekend.
 
Re: FS:  22mW "Milos" Blu-ray

I'm waiting on Igors 100mw+ blu-ray soon and a "surprise" I'll fill you all in on later.
 
Re: FS:  22mW "Milos" Blu-ray

But i thought blue was like 473nm? Wont it be a violet laser ?

Where in this thread does anyone talk about a blue laser? :-?
 
Re: FS:  22mW "Milos" Blu-ray

Blu-Ray refers to the source of the diode. But yeah 405nm is violet. Blu, not Blue

Should they not just say 22mw Milos 405nm Violet laser ???

Read here for more info if you really don't know what blu-ray is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc
Or are you just trying to piss on this thread?

Well, since everybody KNOWS that blu-ray is violet, they shouldn't IMO. ::) And blu-ray isn't the color, it is the source of the diode as motorider826 says. Blu-ray is actually a bit misleading, but it sound a lot better than violet-ray. ;D And at least I will always call it blu-ray.
 
Re: FS:  22mW "Milos" Blu-ray

This will be the first, last, and only bump I give this laser.

Re: FS:  22mW "Milos" Blu-ray

I'm a bit tight on money at the moment. Seems like such a great build, too.

It is. These Milos built units were very much in demand at the time. They were "cutting edge" and as expensive as the 140mW lasers are now. Milos was part of the vanguard in researching the 405nm diodes. He is still doing some "long burn - high power" research with the 803 diode. His personal life (work and relationship) just doesn't allow him to spend much time on the forums any more.

It's a well built, great working laser. It just doesn't get used anymore. My working blu-ray at home is my 82mW "pocket rocket". At work I have replaced this Milos unit with a "pointer" (with intermittent switch) that only puts out 10mW.

Peace,
dave
 
Re: FS:  22mW "Milos" Blu-ray

Idk what one of these is really worth these days as I'm just getting into lasers but I guess I'll pay anything from $60-80 maybe even a bit more.
