Recently picked up a pretty large item that Pat had for sale, It was packed excellent and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for the beamer I really appreciate you digging out the documents as well. This is going to be fun.

enjoy You should have seen the system it came out of, full color 7 watt white light dual sp168 lasers ar/kr system with 3 fiber optic remotes...a great system in its day (1989) and made me a huge bucket of money...and now it is yours Im still looking for the documentation on the galvo driver card (not too hopeful tho). Thanks!

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt & selling it in a garage sale.
Thats about where I landed at what it was doing after reading all the docs. I plan to just use the 25p out to some relays and voltage regs to modulate. Was really cool to see how it went to that galvo amp, and the actuator cards in the orig head.
Thanks again. The joy of seeing schematics like I grew up with that actually work, make sense and you can troubleshoot has been great.
If you ever come across an original touch panel that was built for this system keep me in mind. While simple to replicate I'd love to have the look of the original.
thanks again.
Also wanted to add that Pat has been a great source for parts, modules, mirrors, mounts, knife edge kit etc

the touch panel we used was called a Touchlight 12 by Zero 88 Ltd. in the UK if I recall. Do you have the Touch panel input "pin call out" to my controller? It should be in the docs i sent, if not let me know i can try to track it down.

Yep looks pretty straight forward, you provided 15V and dig grd to controller and it pulled an input to an and gate high when selected. The docs are great, looks like you modded the lines that supplied voltage to the panel chaning a couple pins.
i'll do a search on that panel, curious what it looked like even if i never find one for sale.
is this the panel?
