Hopefully I will once I buy some new diodes

Hey MarioMaster;

You know, Netwon isn't all that far from Emmaus, PA... Something like 550 miles according to Google. Figure 8 hours if you drive a little on the fast side. Unless you're driving an F-350 truck, the gas isn't going to be all that bad. Might want to think twice about making the trip. We've got bucket-loads of 3 phase power available in the venue... (450 amps of 208V)

Well with my Jeep I'd probably get around 20-22 mpg if I drive conservatively - I'm still looking at a fuel cost of >$130 for the trip, plus food and board.

If I could find someone to carpool with along the route It would majorly reduce my fuel cost.

Again I'd love to come but it's a lot of driving and money for a poor college student

Got schematics?

Let me know...

Diodes come from Mouser in texas.

Oh, snap! I actually didn't click on that pic, before... now I 'get it'... ...when you can, lemme know the number off them... I very-well might have some in the shop, here... don't have this puppy...



..any more, but pretty-sure I still have some spares kickin' about...just 'in-case'...

Thanks for the offer but Mouser already shipped my diodes

The diodes arrived today - that was all she needed

No coherent light yet, I was only able to get 12 amps of tube current out of my rotary phase converter.

I did take one pic though - HR/tuning prism


Video of my repair - probably pretty dry for most here, I've been trying to increase my viewership on Youtube since I got a partner invite. Laser power-up begins at 4:25

If you want to lase down at 12 amps easily, the prism misalignment losses need to go.
I'll go look at my inventory, I can probably spare you a rear all lines mount for your existing mirror. I'd really watch the cathode with that small a motor.
You need a much bigger motor. That sets the record for the smallest ignite motor ever. You'll know you have the right one when you cant lift it by yourself :-)
