Laserscopes

[Photonbeam]

That's what I told myself when I purchased one of Bob Ash's old converted Laserscopes... The beast has been sitting in my garage ever since; mostly because I'm terrified of the damned thing. Then again, my two HGM-20's are keeping it company, so I'm sure it's comfortable right where it is...

I keep telling myself that one day I'll be happy I got them, but honestly if I landed a large outdoor show these days I'd probably just turn the show over to someone like Jim Martin over at Peachtree and hang on to 10% as a finders fee. (I know, I know, I'm a pussy. I admit it...)

Congratulations Brad on your new additions. Hope you don't set fire to the ballroom wall the first time you light one of those...

And Photonbeam - enjoy your retirement in Costa Rica. Any chance we might see you at Caribb-LEM Mark II on the island of Utila in early March, 2015?

It's possible! I'll put it on my calender.

Sweet! I'll keep you in the loop as we get closer to the announcement date.

Get yourself a beam dump. Don't set fire to the wall, like some people I know

Hi Rick;

Yeah, I've got a couple cinder blocks that I've set aside just for that purpose. I also picked up some decent IR goggles to go with my OD 11 green ones. Still too scared to fire the beast though...

Glad to know I'm not the only one terrified of my own property....

The last two, 804 and 703. The parts unit is a 703 with air AND water cooling. It was never listed for sale - I always intended to keep it for another possible conversion. You got the first 4 lasers, two 501's, 732 and a 703. You sure you don't need 3 more Brad?

[Bradfo69]

I'll use the excuse that we're runnin' out of space at sugeeks. But, back when this all started, that 804 was the one that got me all hot and bothered and thinking...


On an more observant side note:
Does one of the spare KTP's mentioned in post #76 above fit in the 732 that apparently has no KTP?? Seems to me it would make sense to look at buying one of them at least.

[Photonbeam]

Same KTP fits all of them. I have a good KTP in an oven mount I'll give you.
