Greetings, What kind of battery do you need ? Can you upload a copy of the user manual?

@StevenHoober 2 жыл бұрын

CR-P2. I don't need one though, sold this to someone. Nope, don't have a digital user manual. Had a paper one but went with the unit I sold. Guts of a CR-P2 is literally 2 CR123s so if handy you can turn a depleted battery into a battery holder and fill it with cheaper batteries. Might take soldering but that's not that hard.

@@wilfredoaguirre6146 So... I swear I had a PDF manual but I apparently only read the paper one and didn't photograph even a few interesting pages on the one I sold :( If baffled by anything, ask and I'll see if I can remember enough to explain it in words here.

is that A "nIGHT eYE" pocket scope you have on there with a J-arm mounted to it? Ive seen one of those n ebay and I didnt know enough about it to know if its a Gen2 or Gen 3 tubed device, or if it was 1x magnificationn and useable with a helmet... Can you give me information on that and show some video through that device and descibe any modifications you had to do if so to make it work on a helmet? I have a Ge1+ Armasight SPARK Core.. but i cant afford a PVS-14 yet like i need... ( need Gen2- Gen2+ headmount badly.. for sadly ..legit reasons) any help would be massively useful!

Yes. Varo Nite Eye. Also briefly type classified a the PVS-11, competed with the PVS14 back in the day. Briefly issued to the US Navy (and foreign armies, mine is former IDF), for observation posts, watchstanders etc. I fabricated a bracket to head mount it (not unlike ENVIS adapters but I had to make mine), works, but they are indeed rare so hard to find one in good shape for a good price, so hard to say go find one of those as maybe you get a bad one, and too many ask night vision prices (way over $1000) when they may not be worth it.

do you know what type of image intensifier tube this uses? like MX10130 pvs7 style tube?

@StevenHoober 10 ай бұрын

Not really. Intended to take this apart, discovered it's glued so exploring would have destroyed it (sold to someone I know who likes them as handheld binos for scouting the farm, now the kids have one also). I do SUSPECT it's an MX10130 but... The similar swoopy yellow or black monoculars I know all (whatever tube, doesn't matter) have some of the optics GLUED to them. Like, optical adhesive bonded to the ends, integral to the tube, cannot be removed. So, none of these are upgradeable by salvaging the tubes, unlike /every/ other NOD of the era and since.
