Repair / calibration
Uneven cut
With the uneven cut, is possible the laser is misalign and will need to be optimize and realign. The possible misalignment can cause by the Q-SW (pocket cell) is deteriorating and may need replace. For the XY aperture shutter, we will replace both Motors and Potentiometer.
Flashlamp replace
Flashlamp rated for 30 million shots. Skeptical replacing it was going to help, but tried anyway. Didn't seem to improve power output. Maybe its the uneven cut issue above?
7/32" allen key for side of flashlamp housing
2 mm for screwing cover in for the long buried screw near the HV generator
1.3 mm allen for the short ones

QuikLaze
I asked for a ezlaze manual and was given a quicklaze manual...w/e. Looks like they share a lot of common components
Interesting excerpt from manual:
The QuikLaze is designed to operate on specially modified
Mitutoyo FS60Y and FS50 and Ready products A-Zoom and
S-Scope microscopes. Become familiar with your microscope
before attempting to install the QuikLaze.
The quicklaze power supply looks pretty similar to the ezlaze power supply...possibly compatibile

They called it a quicklaze but I think its actually an ezlaze?
