Yadda and I are paid up! And the chance of us making it out there Friday night is looking better and better ... see you all soon!

Would anyone have any interest in doing a *garage sale* of laser related items sort of thing>?
I have 3 Spectra Physics 127 high mileage tubes (the big loong ones) three red tide spectrometer systems, a gold mirrored ruby rod,an Nd-glass rod and 6 uniphase 155Sl he-nes. I also have a museum quality holography setup.Its a real solid high end system.
anyone have thoughts? is this a bad idea? a good idea? a stoopid idea>?
also, I have an ALC 60 X that is not doing well. would someone be interested in helping me out to get it running at full power again? it runs at a constant low idle. I replaced the tube this spring.it has a marlin gold box.
lemme know! worst case scenario its just a bunch of cool lasery stuff.
Nate.

" evaluation / review ", very-well...I accept!

Call me up re: " that show " we were discussing... and that's an order from

Excellent... this LEM is shaping-up quite nicely...

@ sugeek and Vidal - Gr8 ideas guys - suggestion: (...and *not* cause this 'isn't the thread for it', or something silly... Start a 'SoCaLEM 2011 SwapMeet' thread, that-way, your fine offerings won't get 'buried' in-here... I'll be starting the 'SoCaLEM Rigs n Shows' thread, as soon as I get thru my 47 PMs...

Does anybody know what Bill Arkin's been up to recently? Holospectra is down the street from Canoga Park and I wonder if he'd be interested in showing up.

I ran into him at Photonics West. I mentioned the LEM as I noticed his name tag said Van Nuys but as I recall, he said he's busy.

Somebody that knows him better should coerce him to join in!

hey - is anyone bringing any sort of camera capable of HD recording? I'm trying to figure out wether I need to borrow one or not.

I had mentioned this to his brother Bob last month. Let me pay them a visit to see if they would like to go.

Yeah ... let's get the Arkin Brothers here!!! They're a huge part of the history of laser light shows, lasers and holography. I bought my first spatial filters from them in the early '80s. They have a great collection of vintage lasers and holography equipment. And Bob, who I know better, is the kind of individualist that makes our profession so interesting.

I will have a *startlingly awesome* reflection hologram they produced at the LEM - won't say what the 'subject matter' is - I'll leave that as a nice 'surprize'...

RE: Arkins - yessir - highly-experienced Gents, both (just do me a favor and don't 'hype' Laserium / the show-presence...you know - 'old competitor-sentiments die hard'...

One would hope that after 20+ years of water under the bridge, the fingers could stay in their holsters for a few hours.
