Title: Drop-in replacement laser for US Turbo Duo?
Post by: ConHuevos on April 09, 2014, 01:47:51 AM

My laser is dying and I searched through some of the threads, but the only replacements I could find were in the $40 range =/....Anything else out there someone could link me please?  Thanks.

Conhuevos, I don't think you'll find anything cheaper then the $32 to $40 dollar range, depending on where you go (ebay vs amazon). I know a lot of the lasers may need adjustments as well, so the drop-in route may not work for you.

If you need help installing or adjusting the pot for your laser, I can help you in the future.

Ya saw those, was also PM'd by someone else of this.  My problem is I'm pretty certain this is a clone and not genuine, but I'm not really sure if the clones perform badly or not either, i.e. blow up after a month of usage :P.
