its funny how slight variations make a huge difference. gas lasers are always fun that way. so picky yet so interesting.

so, did you get a chance to measure the output of each and figure out the cooling situation?

I'll get to it Saturday.

My apologies, it took me six hours yesterday to change out a blown coolant hose on the Chevy. Water pump, radiator, headlight, front grill, battery, battery holder, voltage regulator, engine mount, and half the wiring was in the way. Hose clamp was not coming off, either. Had to grind it. After fabbing a tool to get at it. Then the replacement hose was not a good fit.

How to get laser from SELEM to you? Telemnstr might live nearby?

Steve

[lasingfox]

any idea how to get in contact with telemnstr or where he is roughly?

[lasingfox]

if i get in contact with him and arrange some stuff, i can have him lug that lexel 75 down to SELEM for you too.

[mixedgas]

My bet he is already there. SELEM is an addiction.

PL user name is telmnstr

aka Ethan...

[lasingfox]

oh has it already started? well heck that makes things tricky. i'll toss him a message!

[lasingfox]

welp, doesn't seem like he's all that local. do you know anyone else who might be going to SELEM that'd be closer? if it comes down to it, i wouldn't mind shipping especially since you would know how to package it properly and i'd of course be paying. also, has to be through UPS... fedex has broken every single gas laser i've had shipped through them while UPS hasn't broken any (as of today).

[mixedgas]

The postal service has never broken one of mine. Special handling means special to them. They'll even lock it in a vault if requested.
