    Thanks Steve; I have located a suitable crystal that is damaged, but has plenty of undamaged material to be able to cut 1, or possibly 2, crystals. Now all I have to do is locate a local person who has lapidary skills! I found a club, but it's at the opposite end of the country from me.

    I've replaced all the semiconductors including the transistor and the diode, and the problem persists. The only thing that seems possible is a breadboard connection failure that survives spraying and re-seating, as unlikely as that seems. so I'll be converting the parts seen in the tray into a...

    Progress has been delayed by a problem that has appeared in the previously working SPGN circuit. I can't figure out why the "spiral out rate" control voltage input no longer has an effect on the fall time of the ramp signal that it is supposed to control. The "spiral in rate" and the fine adjust...

    Find your local lapidary club. A friend who does lapidary slab sawed some Yellow ND:YAG for me. Cost was 25$ for the rough rectangular stone. Buy a surplus rod of the right length, Let the factory x-ray orient , polish and coat it the cavity facing sides. Sawing it down and polishing the...

    As per my other thread, I need to replace an Nd:YVO4 rod from my engraver's laser head. The original rod is diffusion bonded with a 2mm long undoped YVO4 section, bonded to a 10mm long doped section at probably 1.1% as this seems to be the most common. The face dimensions are 4 x 4mm. Many...

    I got the ClubMAX with Saturn scanners, however I still do not have a light show variance. I tried applying a few times from Pangolin's web variance application, but they seem to be ignoring me after the sale. I will keep pestering them. I have some questions about general setup, if anyone...

    So after much chasing around, I managed to get a copy of the software that is supposed to work with this unit, however it kept reporting that the laser was an unknown type After a lot of investigating, including having to replace a NiMH backup battery on one of the boards and reinstating the tracks...

    This is probably a stupid question but I was wondering if they sell a stand alone ceiling mount (as opposed to using a light truss clamp) to securely mount my rather heavy laser to the stud behind my standard drywall ceiling in my house. IÂ’m going to be using this laser in a location where a full...
