I don't want it!
But it's brought back memories of a Quantronix YAG laser we had for scribing semiconductors. It was my responsibility to install and get the process up and running. It needed a lot of cooling water and I remember having to install a leg in the feed pipe half full of air to remove the violent knock every time the solenoid shut off the flow! I'd forgotten about Q-Switches until you mentioned them.
Diamond saws soon made the Quantronix obsolete. It may well have ended up as scrap.
Cheers.
Phil.
