Do you suppose he would think it was a water fountain or a bong? :P

No one outside Wisconsin would ever know that reference to a bubbler is actually a reference to a water fountain. Now, I don't know about the bong .... Remember, I come from the generation that never inhaled B-)

Cody,

I'm making too much money in people paying me not to sing, but I may be able to handle the guitar parts. :-)

Smitty,

Quantrad was a So. CA company that went out of business a dozen or so years ago. I believe your Blazer is a cw pumped, AOQ switched YAG, The 20,000 number probably refers to either the max Q switch pulse frequency or peak power per pulse (this is really a pretty useless number for most users). Quantrad built a lot of these systems and after they went out of business a handfull of people went into the aftermarket business of refurbishing, reselling and supporting the systems. I'm not positive who ultimately bought the rights to their design and their inventory but I think it was a guy in Valencia, California.

If you are really stuck using it I can probably get a name or two for you of people who make their living supporting that equipment but I'm pretty sure they would charge you for their time. I'm not personally familiar with their software or operating controls so I would not want to offer advice. Let me know if you would like a name(s) of one of those service companies.

Quantrad did not make a particualry good system. My only advice to you would be not to spend much money getting the system to work. I suspect that you will never be really satified with the results from the sytem and you could easily spend a lot of money either getting it back on line or supporting it. Good luck.
