Time to get active. Been collecting parts and pieces for too long. It's time to make them do something.
Let's see how far I get this weekend.

Weekend One. Not quite as far as I would have liked but at least the major stuff is mounted.

Some old school 506's! I mounted those mirrors!
Looking good... Looks like you sourced many parts from the same people I have. What drivers are you using with the 506s, X-laser I think?
Dupe...
Yes X-laser.
Diode drivers are in transit from Dave at Lasershowparts.

Yeah not the most compact fuse holder, but I bought 5 of them way back when so figured better use them. CC style fuses fit in them.
I had been using DIN rail mount power supplies before you showed us these other ones. Now that I only have one thing on the Din rail it kind of looks silly.

Great job!
How do you like those drivers?

I love the drivers. This will be the fourth set I am putting in use. I highly recommend these. Plan ahead though since they come from AU the typical ship time is 3 weeks for my neck of the woods. You may see a week less since you are on the west coast.Quote:
