    Unhappy 2 x 1 watt 532nm Projectors For Sale

    Hi all

    Today is a sad day indeed, but at least i've made a decision that's been worrying me for a while

    One or two people here on the forum who know me personally know I haven't been too well recently. I got back from a conference in Morocco a week last Sunday and was feeling poorly. Basically I had all the symptomns of Swine Flu plus a severe gastric upset, anyway, I was ill for almost a week before been rushed into hospital on Saturday morning by ambulance. I had severe dehydration and my heart condition was causing problems. Suffice to say it turns out that I had a bad viral illness compounded by severe food poisoning, almost certainly contracted whilst in Morocco.

    I'm still in bed now and still feeling pretty grim, although at least I can catch up on the posts on PL

    Anyway, this recent illness has made me focus on my health. I have the problem that whilst the current bout of illness will pass, the underlying health problems I have will never go away. I have been trying to build up enough kit for a laser entertainment business that could fund my hobby. I have done a few decent gigs, but realised at each gig that I was really overstretching myself. The carting about of the gear, the rushing about, the late nights were all taking their toll and i've finally come to the devestating realisation that my mind is willing but my body isn't.

    With this in mind i've taken the reluctant decision to start selling some of the stuff i'd put together to enable me to start doing commercial gigs, i'm quitting whilst i'm still ahead and have some health left. Trying to hold down a busy day job *and* do late night work isn't for me i'm afraid.

    The first two items i'm selling are two 'matched' 1 watt green laser projectors. These were made by Pit8ull (Simon) here on PL and modified to full ILDA spec and keyswitches fitted by Stanwax (Rob). Either of these guys will be able to vouch for the superb build quality of these lasers, both Simon and Rob are 'professionals' and the projector quality is what you would expect from them. You can see from the pictures they are really small and neat. Each has a 1 watt Laserwave green laser and DT40 Pro scanners. They have x,y invert switches and a keyswitch as well as ILDA in/out and all the other safety features you would expect.

    The lasers are virtually new and are both putting out well over 1 watt, I have only used them at three gigs and Simon had hardly used them. The pictures are what Simon took when I was buying them from him, but they are still exactly the same apart from a few internal alterations. If you want to know any more info please contact me or ask Simon or Rob, both of whom can vouch for the quality of these units.

    I'm currently still in bed, but as soon as i'm able to get up I would be happy to provide further pictures etc. These truly are two superb projectors and I would like to sell them as a pair. They are ready to plug in and go...

    I'm asking £2500 for the pair including shipping to UK mainland. It is possible they will make an appearance at the UKLEM in Surfleet provided i'm well enough to attend, in which case price is negotiable, send me your best offer.

    I'll probably be listing some other stuff as well, I just need to sell these first. If you think i'm asking too much money feel free to send me your best offer by PM, but don't underestimate how good these units are and how they will work 'straight out of the box', i'll even throw in a nice flight case to keep and transport them in

    Cheers

    Jem

    Jem,
    It is *really* sad to hear this...
    I hope you keep at it with your RGB though
    However I know that health issues take preference over virtually everything else, as that is far more important.
    I wish you a speedy recovery, and see you at Surfleet

    All the best,
    Dan

    @Richard

    Thanks, & i've PM'd you

    @Dan

    For the time being the RGB will stay. However, it may be hard to justify that amount of money not earning its keep. I now have the CT6215h scanners fitted along with a 300mW ish Laserwave 640nm red, a pair of 660nm Maxys at ~430mW, a 200mW 473nm Lasever blue and a 300mW Laserwave green. Just need to add some 445nm blue to get it finished... and it would be a shame to sell it before it was fully finished wouldn't it?

    Wishing you a speedy recovery - can't say I'm surprised by anyone getting ill after visiting Morocco, if you're used to European standards of hygeine it can be a rude awakening - the impression I got when I was last there was that in some respects, it was like going into a time warp, back to the middle ages...
    Don't be in too much of a rush to quit lasering, you'll regret it if you sell your kit and want it back next month...

    Hey Jem,

    Sorry to hear you are not well, hope you start feeling better soon...

    Shame you are selling these two beauty's and even more of a shame that I don't have the spare cash right now...

    But anyone thinking of buying these, should be aware that they are tip top lasers and at an excellent price...

    Thanks Mark, and thanks everyone else who has so far replied or PM'd me with good wishes.

    Can I just make it clear though that I have no intention of quitting lasers altogether, not a chance, they're in my blood

    I'm simply downsizing my ideas, I realise that there is no way I am fit enough to be doing commercial laser shows till late into the night. So, anything that was to do with that specifically will be getting sold.

    For now, it will be little personal shows in my workshop and my beloved holography

    Cheers

    Jem-

    Hope you get better soon my friend. Keep your head up man. You'll get past these illnesses. If there is anything you need from this side of the pond, please met me know. I hate to see someone give up (or partially give up) their love and passion. But you are right, sometimes you gotta do whatcha gotta do!

    To a speeedy recovery!!!
