ML520G72 638nm 500mw Diode Group Buy list

[mccarrot]

Ouch, I thought they were about the same as the 445's but that looks way worse.

If this was the case we most probably had another topic called "638nm" in the "Exigent Circumstances" forum

I have seen the unshaped beam, and its a flashlight. (see attached picture)

Andy is working on a good lens, when it is ready we can buy it from him.

The picture was taken from my equipment without any special lens. only normal lens for red.

With Prism i got a better result but to much loss from optical power. With cylinder optics the beam was quite nice, but at the begining to big for the scanner mirror.
Waiting for a better solution.

Hi. Hemlock Mike.

Nice to see in here PL.
Andy replied to me that he is in a business trip and will ship the diode in a few days...

Andy sent me a good PM too. That's a good sign for this GB
Winter is coming and I will be cooped up inside with my toys.

Andy ----
Just a bump for an update.. I see my credit card was debited.
Why 188 euros when you have a California phone number?

Same as HMike.
No reply from Andy....

Romania and California phone? Is it possible?

Andy what's the deal, am I going to get some diodes this week?
If not can you go ahead and refund? This is holding up everything and I'll have to resource my red!

Cheers,
Frank

Andy --
You said you would get back to wherever on Sunday 10/17 and ship on Tuesday 10/19. Do you have a tracking number?
Here's your PM to me:
"Hi Mike,
Don't worry, I had to run to several events out of the country, expecting to be back on Tuesday when I plan to get the diodes sent to everyone. Also I hope to have waiting for me at home 10 units of the correcting lens so if they are ok I might send you a test piece along with the red."

Some of us are getting worried. Where are you and when did you ship? You debeted my account prior to shippment.

The 402-935-7733 phone number in CA from the credit card bill connects to PP :-( a wasted call.
Where's Waldo (Andy) ??

I have sent 188 euros to Andy for one 638nm LD three weeks ago too.
It's not 164 euros($210).
That's because it was a small amount buy, not a group buy.
But I didn't receive any email nor PM from Andy about shipping recently.
