Thank you thank you thank you!!!! Both my lexel 88s are fixed and running really great thanks to your help on alt.lasers

Thanks Steve, after all it was a problem with a transistor but I kept blowing them before my laser would have any current control. Q13 and Q10 on my passbank just kept crapping out on me. While scratching my head this weekend Jonathan and I finally found a resistor (R4) that appeared to be arking on the frame. I replaced it and replaced the transistors again and viola. Two very bright lexels.
