I assume you mean to retrofit MX-10130A into a PVS-7B housing? If so.... are you the lucky owner of the 400 dollar eBay MX-10130A?

If so, you should know I was about to buy it... but you beat me to it...

All you need to do is solder a couple of copper pads to extend the contacts.

Also, I can't confirm this, but I've read these MX-10130A tubes don't work with the PVS-7B aluminum housing lens, you need the plastic housing lens for these to work...

Cheers.

Yeah, it is indeed... I've seen a few 10130B go 410 bucks on auction, but none showed up an image. You'll need to solder the tabs to get it to work... I ended up getting an MX-10130D tho...
