Checking out the PVS14 I got last week from a buddy in the garage this morning with two of my rifle scopes.  I either hit the release or didn't have it snapped all the way and it hit the garage floor while flipping the head mount back down.

Power switch snapped off.

Where can I get a replacement switch assembly?  Is this something a user can do or da professionals.

TIA

Thank you so much.  Will do

Repeat after me

"Dummy cord"

+1 count yourself as lucky it was only a switch, and as a cheap learning experience

Switches for PVS-14 are quite special and have a pull-to-IR function built in. If you're not sure how to go about soldering on a full switch, then always go to someone like TNVC for a replacement as you'll save money ( and damage to the monocular ) in the long run.


Typically, these switches are not cheap. Even if you buy the switch direct from the manufacturer, the cost reflects the complexity.


For those who just need a cheaper solution, or are DIY specialists, you can get a generic switch from the same manufacturer for around $20 which you can hand-wire up, and set for off/on/IR. The difference is that you will no longer have the pull-for-IR setting, and turning the switch all the way on will turn on the IR also - and there's no warning that you will turn on IR until it's on.


This kind of repair is cheap and inexpensive, but should never be used for any tactical ( including SHTF preparation ) purposes.

I know, I know,  just getting this thing setup......

kicking myself some more....

I guess you got squared away..

but Ebay has them for less than $10 (assuming that the shaft is functioning properly and you can still put the set screw through it)

same power button as on the PVS-7 series

shaft is toast....... it snapped in half.

unit is currently with TNVC as of Friday for a new battery pack as it was more cost efficient than trying to disassemble it and repair the shaft and entire switch rewiring.

good to hear that you've got it in the hands of the pros..

but if you are a diy guy.. Ebay has those too

Glad TNVC was able to take care of it for you.

Been delayed in getting in here.

TNVC hooked me up and got me fixed.

THANK YOU!!!!

It in now tied off and secured so it no fall and go boom again.
