Yikes man don't flip out on me. I'm just trying to help everyone out and get some info. The more we know, the better.
I did get verification that my RPL is official. http://208.219.69.31/rpl.pdf I have the original cert, and I verified that Jack originally sold the laser to the guy I bought it from etc,etc.
Jack was more than helpful and gave me my lasers life history when I asked. He's provided numerous technical details to myself and others. He's helped identify the circuitry inside and lots of other things for those of us who just have to take things apart and tinker
We all know that China has a large copying and counterfeit market, they excell at duplicating products, and there's little recourse for the buyers who get duped since it's another country, and they fact that they are so good at it.
What I want to know is if the techlaser stuff is just diverted products from the original oem or if they are just cheap knock offs with inferior internals and such. The question on whether or not they are rejected/repaired items or not is beyond the scope of this, it would be very hard to tell without very expensive equipment, power meters, beam analyzers etc..
The real question is, is techlasers competing with quality kit from the same source as everyone else or are they just abusing the brand names we know and trust and selling garbage?
