The Bad News!
My laser tube finally gave up today and although I knew it was on the way out I was hoping it would see me through till Sept when I was planning an upgrade.
The Good News!
The company I was planning to buy the new one from has kindly offered to quickly sort mine at short notice. Tomorrow in fact!
More Bad News!
It means a 4hr round trip to Halifax tomorrow, a new tube @ £250 + vat and £75 per hr service charge again +VAT to get it back to tip-top condition.
So all in I’m looking at just under a £500 kick in the family jewels.
Hopefully one day this bloody thing will pay for itself
More Good News!
I should be back to normal on Thursday if anyone needs anything doing to help me pay the bill.
And Finally The Best Part!
I get to play with my possible future Laser a 5k Pro laser which will cut upto 680 x 400 on 12mm Acrilic, wood ect and Engrave faster and more detailed than my current one.
Although a lot of money and I don’t envision me ever getting my money back on it I consider it the same cost as a nice pin and sadly I love playing with lasers as sad as it sounds.
I should also get 1k back on mine and lucky to have someone interested already.
wish me luck Col
