ILT Ar ion LASER, this one was working well, just idling sans remote control. I believe it is 457 or 476nm. I do not recall exactly.

Lumia with four LASERs and as many motors. The glass can be changed out for different effects. Each motor has a magnet on it sshaft and teach glass has a washer fixed to it, so changing them is easy. This instrument made some really cool patterns. The glass has a lot to do with it. Maybe some LASER show gurus keep secrets, but we were shown barrels of tricks at the TexLEM.

This lumia projector deserves special attention. I don't know where the glass came from but the patterns were fantastic.

A random shot, does not do the lumia justice as we were playing with the glass at the time.

Part of the buy sell trade, i had several of these military VTVMs for sale for $5. Not bad for an almost indestructible analog volt/ohm meter with a 1000V scale and tubes in it. The manual is on the main bunkerofdoom.com page.
