I have not given up ! I just can't find that power supply number anywhere. I will not accept defeat so I will be forced to ask for outside help (phone calls) as so far it has stumped me.  I am fairly positive it is a autogated Gen 3 tube but I just can't tell you 100% until I can find info on this power supply number. A contract number would help me a great deal but we don't have one here.
I have also asked my Aussie friend to help with his superior research skills.

I am somewhat stumped by this one also - Does it have the two-pins that connect to the pigtail, or does the pigtail disappear into the power supply itself? David Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Do these help? That was as far as I could get the tube to come out without using something to pry on it, which I didn't really want to do. If I need to pull farther, or if I am completely taking pics of the wrong place, just let me know. Again, that you and CJ for all of your assistance and for freely sharing your knowledge. |

Well, it is a Gen 3 tube and not gated. Looks like a export tube and as I have no idea what the specs were limited to for that export tube I can't really tell a great deal. Depending on who made and what kind of Gen 2+ tube you have it may or may not be better. Not enough info here for me to tell you much more. Your gen 3 is probably Omni III to IV performance but that is a educated guess. Some pics at night through both of your tubes would tell me a little more to judge. The "SE" in front of the NSN number tells me your tube was sold to Sweden if that helps you any. |

I don't know all about this yet I as I still studying up on all these export tubes. I will post a link as soon as I find it again. I don't know what 8E is yet as I read GB should be in front for a UK sold tube. I could have this all wrong though. I can spot export tubes though so that is a plus ! 
99 is UK though. I am still learning on decoding these export tubes...

Don't know if you keep track of such things, but that tube was purchased in a single AA housing PVS14 from AE Optics.

They are probably Photonis tubes that failed milspec and they removed all markings except serial number. Maybe because they are selling them cheaply they don't want the Photonis name on them. Not a Russian tube though.

That's great news! Thanks for the reply. And that makes sense about them removing markings due to the tubes being sub standard. It has one pretty large blem and several very tiny almost invisible pin prick blems. Other than that it's a good tube and I'm very pleased with its light gathering capability.

A common ITT "Ultra" tube is the MX-10160A Omni IV Anvis tube. Most folks don't use the term Ultra tube in common talk about tubes though. It was just what ITT labeled their tube. |

Quote HistoryIn 1990 (when these tubes were made) the US just started making Omni III tubes. I assume these are export tubes and perform lower. They are Gen 3 but as I said performance would be in the Omni I to II range. Not the latest and greatest but should allow you to see in the dark fairly well.

would it have the thin film? What exactly makes a tube a "pinnacle"?
also... should I worry about the diopter being off since I took the ocular off to look at the tube? I don't see any change from before I took it off. Anything I need to look for or worry about? |

I don't see any change from before I took it off. Anything I need to look for or worry about? This thread is for tube identification and I don't want to muddy it with general NV questions. That said Pinnacle tubes are just a ITT brand name. All Pinnacle tubes are thin filmed and gated. Please ask the rest in the general NV forum.

Having trouble figuring out what this is. About to buy it so help is appreciated. I'm hoping its omni 6 autogated but might be a little old? Maybe V? Guy is asking 2k with no spec sheet. Dino seems to be quite the expert. If you could post or PM me your thoughts I would GREATLY appreciate it. Just don't want to plop down that much money for something mediocre when I see omni VII pvs 14's going for 2200-2300

ITT Omni VI autogated Pinnacle. Milspec tubes don't come with data sheets as they are guaranteed to meet the contract specs and usually perform higher. If the tube is used 2K is a lot to pay IMHO. I think value is $1300 to $1500 for a used one. Nice tube but I would not pay 2K.

Just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly. |

Here's another eBay one. Dino are you able to work out the year and any other details? The seller says it's Gen4 but I know that's not right. He's a trustworthy seller though as I have bought two tubes from him that have been really nice. I can only guess that he doesn't know much about NV, hence calling this one Gen 4. The listing has over a week left and is already up over $800.
