    Default Molectron UV 24 Nitrogen Laser Documents Needed

    I finally got some time to work on an old Molectron UV24. It’s a big green whale of a laser with a lot of fun high voltage parts. I replaced all the old gas lines, bypassed the key lock and defeated the interlocks. It’s will come on and go into time delay mode, but doesn’t want to come out of that. I can smell and feel the thyratron heating up, but that is about it. Does anybody have a manual for this or maybe one of the other molectron nitrogen lasers? Such as the UV 1000. The laser is pretty old, but it definitely came out of lab storage somewhere. It’s is very clean.

    Maybe,
    What other lasers do you have that you might trade? This nitrogen laser is a favorite of my collection, aside from your Nitromite, which is my other favorite. Did you sell your Rofin DC-020?

    [QUOTE = MrNIFty923; 354642] Peut-être,
    quels autres lasers avez-vous que vous pourriez échanger? Ce laser à l'azote est l'un des préférés de ma collection, à part votre Nitromite, qui est mon autre favori. Avez-vous vendu votre Rofin DC-020? [/ QUOTE]


    Le laser ROFIN DC-20 n'est pas à vendre. Par contre j'ai un laser NITROMITE en échange si ça vous intéresse ?

    Default I tried, but missed

    I thought I might have had you(and me) covered on this, but no.

    A few years back I got a box of Molectron documentation.
    I dug it out today and found that it's mostly for their NdYAG laser with
    a smaller amount for one of their dye lasers.

    I have one of the (UV 14?) Molectron N2 lasers and a dye laser in the garage
    waiting for their time to come. Well, I have to assume they're still there...

    If you come across any documentation let me know.
    The documentation on the Molectron NdYAG is impressive.
    On the blue print copies I noticed the old Molectron address is just 3 miles
    from my house across from Apple Campus 3.

    John,

    I did actually find documentation on my Molectron laser about 3 months ago. It appeared on Ebay and I snapped it up. If you would like a copy just let me know! It's very helpful, as it contains all schematics, thyratron tuning directions, and output pulse shape testing among other things. This service manual apply's to the UV12, UV14, UV22, and UV24. Funny thing is that it was listed under PRA Laser Inc. ,not Molectron.

    I'd definitely go for a copy of the manuals.
    Let me know how much for copying and shipping.

    When I was in Jr High I used to drool over the Molectron brochures.
    It would be good to get them running someday.

    I will make you a copy tomorrow. No payment required, just PM me your shipping address and I'll send it to you. Post some pictures when you dig your N2 laser out of the garage. There is no time like the present! Molectron's are awesome, their design aesthetic has that classic car appeal.
