Has 1 red and 1 blue PT121 LED. They are really nice.

Knife edge mirrors are glued to the main optics housing unlike the M and A series which had the small removable knife edge array. If you are after for just the bare mirrors they can be extracted individually but there is a testing thread over on PL that shows they are a little lower efficiency so the advantage to the knife edge arrays are the preconfigured mounting and if you are having to mount and glue them anyway might as well just pick up some good bounce mirrors.

For diodes it has mostly A-Type M140 I have a picture of the block showing the quantity and their placement. I posted it here in some somewhere. I think it was either 32 A's and 8 M M's or it is 28 A's and 12 m's. M's grouped in the center.

Interesting insight I was given about the actual reasons for all the different mixes other changes/tweaking they have done as time went on.

It has a lot of compromising in the A and M units due to using one monochromatic source that is responsible for producing two of the main color sources. Got to factor the conversion rate efficiency off the phopher to get the lumen output needed which based on the wavelength and total power and the wavelength that is directly passed for the blue to get the best color balance

From what I was told the optimal for conversion off the phopher for green is around 442nm.

They always had issues finding the right trade off to get the lumen numbers and a directly passed blue for color balance with available diodes and the design confinements of the A and M units. The blue pass was always the weak link which produced poor reviews for the color balance.

Poor reviews of the A130's dismal color balance might have been the nail in the coffin for the whole slim eco laser projector if they were not so invested and the fact they were marketed more for business uses not watching movies.

The H-series have advantage that the pump source for generating the green does not have to pass making the blue source. So the laser blocks only concern is to making the green. The unit was large enough to have a dedicated blue light source which had a much better wavelength.

I can buy 100 dollar diodes and break them, I'm ok with that, but USED 1000 dollar diodes I can't buy every day...well if I do I can't eat LOL

But yea, I want to get the right pump and one that's not on it's last leg, many of these are pulled from a long working life because ??????

In time if we remain a free people these will get stronger, better and less expensive, I wouldn't mind buying one like in the video for cheap, actually it looks like the front 2 pumps are on strong but the rear 2 not so much, it may be a garbage can find the way he's driving it like he doesn't care.

I need to find those garbage cans/salvage sites.

---edit---

Disregard, I'm mixing up videos in my head..... :/

Ultra, with cheap things nothing is clear from start, they can be not what they look on picture, so first you buy, then you try.
For battery pack of needed voltage google "battery holder case" and choose what you want. Here in EU they are sold in most electro/hardware/RC toys shops.

But batteries need attention and replacement - for indoors playing I would just take an AC/DC adapter from old something like 3.5" external hard drive (most were 12V, 3A output) and for regulating TTL input use this simple RGB dimmer with beautiful knobs. But carefully, the driver may not like the common anode!

Also 5V should be output of the most USB chargers (and AC chargers for mobile phones)

It looks like all wires needed are included in the set.
 
Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please

Looks good, but at this point most auctions go 1/3 higher to get it, sometimes more.
 
Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please

This one has more screws holding the top on and is asking 1k OBO Also says NEW > https://www.ebay.com/itm/LIMO-Fiber...830191?hash=item2cd027cc6f:g:4gsAAOSwXvdamNMr

---edit---

I took a stab at 202.50 but I didn't think so, now I look and see the other bidder bid twice, so it looks like he put in a max and may not be watching...

I have some FAP units that I'm not using, I don't think they were made for distance, just point blank work as that bundle of 19 emitters is hard to focus at far field as you know, I don't need any more like that and some of these I believe put out a stack of bars, single emitter would be ideal, C02 is bulky, some of these pumps do put out a decent focusable output, I just not sure what I want yet.

I wonder what they cost new, any idea? That 200 dollar one up for bid has two bids from the same guy who hasn't bid on anything else for 30 days or more, better than someone who only bids on this sellers listings (shill) but no way to know if this guy isn't a shill bidder too, he might have put it up to 500 dollars already.
 
Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please

I hit it once and it sold 205, the seller hasn't been active in the last year, I just didn't feel good about it, also I don't know how useable the output would be far field if not pumping a crystal, of course 50w of 808 for 10w of 532 would be nice, but how much to make that happen ?

Crystal pair, mirrors, lenses, AR window, I would want to build it enclosed and build my own power supply and heat sink......just waiting for a bigger single emitter really.

Yea, keep an eye on it being relisted if that was a shill bid.

Give it 12V DC to the AC/DC12V connector. Probably needs no more than 1-2A @ 12VDC. May need a signal applied to the TTL inputs, depending on how it's set up. +5VDC for those would be suitable if it needs them.

My experience with these is they pull maybe 350 mA at 12 volts. Now there are two fan drivers and if you use them, it will take it up another 100 mA or so. Not a bad price, but there is no way to adjust the dichros as they are just glued in place. I doubt the divergence specs of 1 mrad.
 
Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please

If it was I could get a 2nd chance offer at my 202.50, do I want this?

NEW sure sounds good, if I get a 2nd chance offer I will likely take it, auctions are slow it seems right now, I have bought 7475 and 7A75's at pretty good prices recently, but now they are not even offering at auction, is everyone broke from taxes ?


----edit----

Here's similar : NEW asking 1K OBO > https://www.ebay.com/itm/LIMO-Fiber...830191?hash=item2cd027cc6f:g:4gsAAOSwXvdamNMr

DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK INSIDE THIS LISTING OR BUY:

A scammer in Canada appears to be hacking into eBay member accounts and listing this over and over again, I've been emailing the accounts he keeps doing that with and letting them know, they then remove it, but he moves on to another victim:


(Edit: removed direct link to Laserscope listing on eBay, you can click on this imgbb thumbnail link, below, if you want to see a screen shot of the listing).



He asks buyers not to bid on the item and to click on the link inside the listing, might just be a way to get your IP address and try to hack your account, I don't know.

Damn. You'd think that eBay would be sophisticated enough to track down and stop this kind of crap from happening. I guess they are too busy trying to get more money out of people using their system.
 
Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please

Did you see the other one for $171.05? Too bad it's in Australia. The shipping is ~$65.00 on top of the item's price. If it were here, I would be sorely tempted to buy the one for $171.00.
