Looking to buy or trade your old 'not working' 589's

[JLSE]

Just as the title says.. If you have an old CNI pens 589nm or similar
have no use for it and have it kicking around, I would like to buy or
trade for parts or laser..

Value would be based on age and condition. Let me know what you
have and are willing to part with

Also looking for handheld 473's or anything DPSS other than green.



:beer:

Got those already and had an idea while stripping the non warranty one.

What I can say is the design of these pens is pretty basic. I expected better
for what these go for new. The driver is pretty crazy looking I must say
but thats all ive been impressed with so far. Whoever put the one together
shouldnt get a Christmas bonus this year :tsk:

Interesting none the less..

What kind of diode are they using in GLPs?
5.6mm, 9mm, C-Mount?

I'd love to see some quality photos of the guts on those! I'd really like to get a 473 but they're still pretty damned pricey. I paid 400 bucks for my first green when they were becoming available.... I don't want to do that twice.

Looks to be a modified c-mount cut down with rounded off corners. Cant
say for sure as im not going to push the diode, but may be a underdriven
2W with FAC.

Haha, paid nearly the same for my 7mW leasdlight from z-bolt back in the
day. 2001 IIRC.

To kill both of your curiosity, here is a thread posted by the gent I got 2 of
them from. The one that was already parted is pictured here > http://laserpointerforums.com/f40/trying-resurrect-cni-589nm-pointer-66467.html
