Just got given some nice old laserstuff!

Whoa, I got the scanners working!

I hooked them up to a cheap "30k"-dmx card with preprogrammed shapes and put my nice little Spectra-physics Cyan in front of it:


The geometric corrector worked fine too, I will incorporate it in my future analog graphics generator.

I am totally hooked on the optical breadboard system now, need more components!
Some posts and adjustable mounts...

The abstract generator and scanner both has transformers that is configurable for borth 115 & 230V so I managed to fire up the generator too.
It seems to work except for the display and text generator (?). I traced it to a leaked battery and corroded pcb traces on a small pcb with a Z80 mcu, standard 80-ies synthesizer fault that I have fixed many times before on Korg polysix synths so I have good hope that this will be fixable too.
