Also the resistors shown in the picture connected to the diodes are not 100 ohm wire wound like the one's on the relay, Dose anyone have a wireing diagram for this. Sorry about misspelling Jimmy P's name. The hook up on the powerstat is backwards, 4 is input and 3 is output.

There was a mistake in the electrical schematic for one of the components and it fried it when I first used it. I found the problem and fixed it and then the laser worked fine. It popped ballons and burned holes in thin film when the beam was focused. 2 of my kids have used it for science projects as well and it still works with all the original components after all these years. Hope this helps!
