Quote HistoryQuoted: Hi Will. To further clarify on all this we talked to the "Captain" over at Elbit. Main guru, etc. who's been around since the ITT days... There is no XLS grade like that. All XLS are fall out tubes with all of them having the same minimum spec. IF a dealer wanted a XLS tube that was non autogated, he could order it but they would NEVER send out an XLS tube non gated unless a specific request is made...Quote If a non-gated tube is sold, it is sold as a non-gated tube with the buyer having complete knowledge of that fact. I have the email if you would like to read it, but we wiill not post entire emails on the internet like that. Bottom line, ALL XLS tubes are autogated unless ordered without them. Hope this helps.

As Augee mentioned, we cannot speak to the internal grading systems used by other vendors to sort tubes, or what they offer. I do know for a fact these NGI XLS systems are indeed ALL autogated tubes based on our data sheets we have shown along with a email statement from the "Captain" over at Elbit. It's unfortunate rumors get started like this. Either way, NGI has the most affordable PVS-14 and other goggles systems out there for the price backed up with a 10 year tube and lifetime system warranty all built in-house. By the sheer numbers of units sold, we feel the community that brought NGI's new web site to it's knee's on the day of the sale, (the volume of people that visited and ordered) are pretty happy. Even Sam flew back into California to help with the build process, which he's still there as I write this. Thank you. |

My RNVG will be here this week  . You guys have the hottest deal going IMHO.I was just curious about the non-gated stuff because I don’t think I’ve seen any new manufactured devices with new non-gated tubes being offered anywhere. |

Two obvious things here:
1. The NGI XLS line using XLSH tubes are 100% autogated. 2. JRH was implying they were not but has corrected it to only subtly imply that they are not, lol. |

JRH was implying they were not but has corrected it to only subtly imply that they are not, lol. Since people get butthurt and take shit out of context really easily around here, understand at the onset this in reply to Will's questions about the tubes themselves not what any particular company is selling. There was some lower graded tubes a while back that were not autogated. We offered some lower graded tubes that were around Black Friday for $1999. and we were jumped for that at the time. I had not even HEARD of xls grade tubes then and we were accused of selling them. This is where the confusion started. But I wonder why the data sheets which for a long while had no "gated/non gated" notation really just started showing up the last year or so? Maybe something Elbit started as I just pulled several old data sheets for SLG tubes back from the Harris days (one I'm looking at is dated 2018) and there is NO option for "gated/non gated." Just pulled several data sheets from 2018 Harris stuff- NONE of them on the data sheets for SLG tubes make any notation of gated or non gated. I covered up important info so no panties would be wadded anymore but you can see in the pics what I'm talking about. On the Harris sheet there is no "gated or non gated" but on the Elbit systems (NEWER) sheet it has that option. So what changed? And being as Elbit hasn't been Elbit NV for long (acquiring the Harris NV section in the last year'ish) , why would they add that "gated/non gated" connotation? If Elbit never offered a non gated tube why the hell would that be ADDED to the data sheet setup? Question as to the gated/non gated not pertaining to the xls low grade discussion at all.

Maybe they did that because someone kept saying they weren’t autogated?

ESA-NV can and will manufacture tubes with non-gated power supplies upon request by the customer, however their "default" PS is gated on all of their image intensifier tubes, if not specified, all tubes are gated. Customers would only receive non-gated by specific request for such and clearly marked/designated as such.

My TNVC/NGI 14 came in today
Photocathode 2274 Halo 0.96 EBI 0.32 Res 64 SNR 27 Pretty decent I’ve gotta say! With the daylight filter I see a couple tiny zone 3 blems but I’ll get a better look when I’m home. ETA - really clean, I'd almost be willing to call them peppering vs blems.

When I first used it TBH nothing stood out to me as extraordinary in regards to the EBI. My impression of this particular tube’s performance compared to the slightly higher spec GP SLG’s I’ve owned before (NVD HP+) is that it’s practically the same just in WP. It’s a nice tube. I’m tempted to ditch my GP’s for a pair of these actually. ?? |

Just so I am clear, if you hit something with an illuminator, tube quality is mostly irrelevant at that point within the Gen 3 family pretty much, correct?

I got a package in from TNVC today and was jacked, going to the camp this weekend so a perfect place to try out my new NV.
Instead, it was my Ops Core bump, laser, and mowhawk. This makes week 4 of the 1-2 week wait for the 14, but also week 4 of the possible 18 week wait for the bump so I guess it's a fair tradeoff. |

I bet there was probably more orders than anticipated but if the 1-2 week folks are delayed, what does that mean for everyone downstream? A 20 week wait could change my buying choice, despite the awesome communication I've from TNVS so far. ETA: response moments before my post, hopefully catch up works out so all timelines aren't extended. |

I was given "8-10 weeks". I'm thinking it may be better to pay a premium and actually get my -14 sometime this year. Yea, it's going to be a bit. How much more than 8-10 weeks is the question. That said, looking through the previous threads makes it look like the wait is always very long. JRH was the best deal before this, and it was $3295 so you're paying significantly more to not wait (even though that tube has better min specs from what I have read). Quoted: Our apologies.

Since they actually assemble them in-house, it just extends the whole batch rather than a few drop shipping every day from a third party assembly line. Anytime you are competing with the .mil for parts, they are going to win in the priority department. |

Too many thousands of your hard earned dollar expects us to have eyes on everything! We inspect EVERYTHING before we ship and in this case unfortunately the famed green bag was a culprit.

What part(s) did you use to do the conversion? I'm waiting on my PVS14 as well, and was thinking of going with a Rhino 2 like you did so I'm curious. Thanks.
