    Default Really Old Green Laser Pointer

    Well, for green laser pointers it's really old. Here's the model GP4 made by the Taiwan company Limate in 1998. Along with the operational laser, I got the wooden box, the outer box, instruction sheet, brochure, and the receipt for its purchase in January 1999. The laser gives a double beam output that's modulated.  When it's scanned, the beam is chopped.
