it's just a red and a green HeNe.

I had a red about 20 years ago; it was if I remember 180mW and cost thousands and was as long as a broomstick .

Amazing how things changed over these years.

Do G120s scan wide enough for dome projection?

[Laserhobbit]

The G120s were the scanners used in the original Laserium projectors and so the answer is a most definite yes they do. Plus the nature of them means the scan angle can be quite wide, plus they can easily drive large mirrors. This is one of the main reasons I still have a few sets. If anyone is interested I do have a set I would part with, PM me if interested

Also anyone at the UK LEM last weekend would have seen the SP125 HeNe we used to use for the red as part of a full colour system with a Lexel single phase argon and NEOS PCAOM, with this we used a couple of G120Ds and a custom beam table. With the Lexel running at about 1W the colour we got was quite beautiful

Thanks Steve
That's good to know. I think I have a set here

I wouldn't mind having another pair of G120s. I like those little gems

By the model number, i'm guessing that's a 10mw single line.

Actually the early Laserium Scanners were custom Z519, but had a 60 degree optical range. The later Mark 6 had G124 scanners with a 48 degree optical range.

I kept running into this ".50W" in several descriptions of this model number from different dealers. I guess it means something else. Or maybe just wishful thinking ..

[swamidog]

that's probably based on the meaningless warning sticker on the head.

the model number ends with "10SLHP", which I read as "10mW Single Line Hewlett-Packard".
