Laser Thermal Charger 1986 / MkII 1989

Post by dinglem »

I used one of these for many years back in the day - probably my fave charger. Oh so simple.... I recently picked up this pair - one from the legend that is Richard Isherwood. He told me Glyn Peglar had revised the thermal sensor bulb on it to something slightly less vulnerable. Both still work perfectly.

So looking at your ads, it looks like mine is the Vari-pulse mkII.

This is my Schumacher PC1 as mentioned in that article (which I had)...

And this is a Schumacher PC3, not sure on the year of this one...

On the PC1 the red light comes on when you connect the pack and press the button then the green light comes on when it peaks. I assume the PC3 is the same but haven't tried it.
