Specs for cheap and cheerful GoldenStarLaser galvos

Yup. I can confirm this. ILDA signal goes to the center. I have 2 of these galvo sets. I can run around 10K full angle without them whining.

Thanks for this info, very helpful. I have picked a set of these to play with while I save up for some proper ones, any idea what the pots do?

Nope. Let us know if you figure it out, though.

I know this is a positively _ancient_ thread.. but did anyone ever find anything out about these? I stumbled on one of these complete with the galvos in a friends workshop. He wasn't sure where he'd gotten them, and let me have em to play around with.

I was able to squirt some power over to the show card and the galvos seemed to power up no problem. I bounced a laser pointer at the mirrors, and was treated to a show (various shapes, the words "Viva Mexico" and Psy doing the Gaungam style dance), I don't know anything else about the things. This probably isn't the best way to learn about laser equipment as I'm a complete and total newb to this stuff; but time is cheap for a hobbyist, equipment is not.

Really, all I know about lasers, and the show cards, galvos, and the rest - is 1) that the damn things are expensive, and 2) dont point them at your eyeballs.

appreciate any pointers y'all might have. And I apologize for resurrecting such an ancient thread. But what I have is, _exactly_ what's pictured as the "Sunkoo-Reid CX25K". Nothing else I've been able to find in my various google searches comes close.

Yes, everything worked fine in the end. Just pop off the DMX card and follow the wiring pattern in the linked picture further up in the thread.
