Would be excellent to see a bit of classic equipment like this up and running again. :)
Other then I have no idea where the 25 to 100 mW of solid state YELLOW will come from, that might just happen.
Its been on a shelf since 85. If the lytics are good...;) He already has the baseline tracks burned to CD. So yes, it could live again.

I came here because I saw the word free.
That was a cheap comment Hehe xD
Actually Dr Crosses site is well worth the time anyway, totally awesome cutting edge laser art circa the **very** early days. Some of the photos are fascinating.
Sorry PJ the free turned out to be historically more interesting then it is as a modern laser system, getting it into a museum is the right choice (But the general arrangement of those scanners is something I may just have to borrow, it is neat......).
Photographs if anything is connected or setup when collecting are a must, for both curatorial reasons and trying to figure out how the wiring goes together.
Regards, Dan.
Hehe no problem.
Make sure it gets a nice spot in that museum ;)
Hmmm.. If you end-up getting it up to your place, we stand a good-chance of having a couple 'repeat' show-clients from '10, up that way, in June-ish; latest, Oct.... If the 'Smithso' doesn't want it, I *may* have a good-home for it at the Strasenburgh Planetarium / Science Center / Museum, in Rochester, NY... the guys that run the laser-show there (still running ions, too! :) are both excellent laser and electronics-techs, and are very-familiar with 'legacy' systems (ie Lasermedia / ZAP, etc...) so we might be able to work-out a 'trucking-exchange-thinggy'.. :)Quote:

Steve also mentioned that it might be cool to have Lowell Cross speak at SELEM 2011 this summer. That certainly would be interesting, if we can make it happen...

I have got the ball rolling. Legal Documents will soon change hands. L/V III will go to a secure warehouse via a truck so it can be properly preserved until a proper home can be found for it. This will soon be out of my hands, although I will monitor the project and inject as much connectivity as I can.
We may need to find a major sponsor for a display case to house it, and/or solid state lasers to reactivate it. Coherent or SP folks or Lightwave, or SPIE folks, perhaps other interested parties, if your lurking here, now would be a good time for a discrete PM if you can help.
I'll have dimensions for a possible case soon.
Steve
this one, if so....... yum
