I've never owned a laser before..... I just purchased a Used Boss 1630 on Craigslist for 4500. 80w laser upgrade, Ruide 6442 G controller, 8Gal Compressor, Inline Duct fan, LB and Coral 8X Student ver. It wasn't disclosed, but I have determined that there was a FIRE and that they replaced the controller, wires and air assist hose, etc. etc.. I have also determined when aligning mirrors, that the focal lens was burnt and shattered. Also, the trigger switches are wired incorrectly and disabled in vendor settings. One last thing.... there is bacteria in the tube visible while flowing. SO... not only this massive learning curb but also the additional "education", time and purchases.

I did save them prior. I am looking for a clean factory or the original settings.
