On 1 July 2015 they did some "restructuring" which as I was told meant a bunch of Excelis folks being laid off, thereby reducing the workforce. just thought id add that for anyone who may not have known the takeover date and or about the layoff of experienced employees that happened almost immediately after Harris took over.

Bought an MX-10160 off the EE. ITTs website tells me it’s an autogated PINNACLE tube but I’m curious about when it was mfg if possible. There’s only 2 numbers on the tube.

This is the most info you’re going to get without an actual spec sheet. It’s a good tube.

I bought a used tube on eBay that came in an ENVIS housing.
It has the following information: KM 272069-8 SN: 751225 DC 04 07 On the opposite side it has the following written on it in sharpie: 1466369 9801x e-1 Compared to my XD4 reject I got from chosos on EE, it has slightly higher resolution and a bit better extreme low light performance. However not the large difference that I'd expect between a thinfilmed gen III and a ~XD4 tube. From digging online, it seems to be a F9800 series tube. Does anyone have anymore information on it? |

Why a weapons grade tube would be installed in a pvs-15 is most likely because the original tube went bad and the WG tube was all that the person who did the swap had available at the time. What does the data label on the tube in the other side's MHA read?. |

I just bought a second hand PVS7. The unit looks in great condition and performs, I think, very well. The seller said it was a gen 3 unit but didn’t know much about it. He had also purchased it second hand and didn’t use it much. I took it apart today to see what type of tube it has since I thought it was not autogated but I hear a definite whine when it’s on. I heard that might mean it’s an autogated unit. When I took it apart I saw that the model information was scratched off. Tube looks in great condition and has no blemishes or issues thy I can’t tell. I really wish there was a way to know more about it.

Well, theres only one reason I can think of that a tube would have its label removed and the serial number totally defaced from the side of the tube boot. Im not going to say what that reason is here, but the reason should be fairly obvious. With the tubes identifying data basically erased forever, the only way we could figure out exactly what it is wpuld be to pull the tube and power supply out of the outer boot and find the tube modules serial number and part number and the power supply's serial number and part number and then go from there, but i dont think you or most would care enough about identifying the tube to get into it that deep as only a very select few of us have the skill and techniques perfected to be able to get the tube back together and working without issues and still look like a tube when all is said and done. So we can only know what we are able to easily observe to help us understand what we can about the tube and the rest we can only speculate on. We know that if it whines then it is deffinitely autogated. Im speculating now, however, from my experience rebuding image intensifiers I can say the tube looks to be an OMNI 7 or 8 tube as the backplate w/ the tube contacts appears to be newer production ITT style. Its just speculation as we cant be 100% sure due to the lack of avvailable data, but im fairly confident that you have an MX-10130D/UV made by ITT/Exelis/Harris. the civilian version would be called F9810xx pinnacle which is autogated and has an MCP with a thin film ion barrier. Again that is based on what has been said in your post as well as my experienced based opinion based on what i am observing in the pictures. However, remember that we can not be 100% certain about the tubes identity without tearing the tube down and obtaining serial and part numbers from the PSU and tube module. So id say just use it and dont worry too much about the ID of the tube as it is unlikely you will ever find out for sure. Also if you go to sell it at any point, I dont reccomend advertising the tube as any specific tube as we really dont know what it is exactly. All we know for certain at this point is that it is an autogated MX-10130 format, 18mm, non-inverting, proximity focus, MCP image intensifier tube assembly.

its not a low FOM tube, MX-0160B/AVS-6's are very High Fom tubes with FOMs reaching up to 2590 or so. However these are also quite prone to premature failure due to the filmless MCP having a flaw in which the MCP will let off positice ions during secondary electron emission. All positive ions were supposed to be Scrubbed from the MCP during manufacture of the tube, but alot of the MCP's used to build these tubes were not completely cleaned of these positive ions and thus positive ions are released during secondary electron emission and they reflect back onto the GaAs photocathode and cause positive ion poisioning of the photocathode. This eventually will render the tube unusable due to it not being able to form a usable image.

You cant use a tiny flathead screwdriver to adjust everest tubes.

How would I go about identifying a tube that has nothing more than a serial number on the output end of the tube? All that is known about it is it's a gen 2 possibly Photonis(that is what I'm trying to find out) non gated and 11769 format(manual gain) in a pvs-14.
