Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CoupleThou: Thank you! I appreciate the reply. A friend suggested it was repotted too, which does make sense. In terms of blemishes, this definitely has them - there's a soft, very very faint honeycomb blemsh (not FPN as such) over the full image, and some interesting line-shaped blems on the right side of the tube. It doesn't feel like the blemishes were post-production, but I don't know enough to say that for sure. Here's an image: https://i.ibb.co/6XW51gV/IMG20230118025657.jpg You can see the vague honeycomb pattern I was talking about in the sky. In any case, I'm not hoping for any further information, just sharing the image because tubes are cool :) Thank you again for your thoughts. Looks to perform like a very nice tube. I would just use and enjoy it. Lots of NV snobs are all about high spec tubes with data sheets. I have those tubes but really enjoy my no name bargain tubes that just work and work well for a fraction of the price. Nice tube ! |

It is milspec but missing contract number. When you have it powered put your ear up against scope and tell me if you hear a faint whine. Should be a nice tube. I don't believe it to be gated. |

New to the NV game - I've done some digging but can't find much info. If anyone can help ID/confirm them that would be greatly appreciated!
Tube 1: ITT 272069-8 DC 0917 Tube 2: MX10160C/AVS-6 ID NO. 13547-277177 EXP. NOV21 CAD 1840 CAGE 13567 No clue about the first tube besides seeing MUM14 tubes marked KM 272069-8. For the second tube I think its a OMNI7 and I know 10160C is a "high-performance" tube. Thank you in advance! Edit: found out that Tube 1 is a civilian tube. This thread is very helpful once I read through all the posts lol. |

Here's a fun one - ITT F9801A (F4796)
 The tube is mysteriously lablelled "Special tube" if you search for the NSN (which is 4710-01-391-7078) Other than that I can't find much. I can see there's very basic specs for F9801 on David's omni chart, but aside from that I'm not finding much else. |

Looking for any light anybody can shed on a tube I just got (which is currently non-functional).
Based on the most similar tubes in this thread, I'm thinking: maybe it's a Russian tube of some kind? Or maybe a repot or an AEO or something like it. On the side it says "091014033347" and on the pigtail it says "LTE" (in a box) and "1807". Oh, and it came out of what looks like an ITT PVS-14 housing. There is a spot on the housing where an ID plate was removed. Searching for LTE yielded some results for some ACTInBlack "PVS-14LTE"s which have an ID plate in the right spot, but other than seeing that they have European made tubes, that has been a search dead end for me. Pictures (maybe, imgur is being weird): https://imgur.com/a/kud8XXa Edit: looking like it's an NAIT repot. |

Need some help fellas. Tube labeled NV5050-XG7 I saw in this thread possibly an Everest tube. Is that accurate?
Where can I get tool to tighten retainer ring? **I'll answer my own question: It is an EVEREST aviation tube. Tool to tighten the ring is cut down gift card or the like or buy the tool from ebay.** |

I would guess Elbit Silver bullet tube. ANVIS MX 10160A.. Probably Omni IV-VI range.

I can't find much on these tube. Only reference to them is from this site. Does it have a pigtail?
"Very late Everest Series" Edit: I did find something. Everest tubes are Pinnacle tubes with a programmable power supply. I can't post the link I found to the pinnacle specs but if you use the WayBack Machine and punch in this link you will find them: http://www.exelisinc.com/solutions/Image-Intensifier-Tubes/Documents/Exelis-Image-Intensifier-Tube-F9800-Series.pdf I "believe" it will be somewhere in this neighborhood: TubeContract lp/mm uA/lm @830 @880 SNR Gain>Gain< FOM EBI MTF25 BLR Halo Comments F9815VG 64 2000 -- 80 25 4000080000 1600 2.5 38 36 1 Pinnacle |

I wonder if "special" denotes an Omni tube that fell short in some respect as such was marketed as a commercial tube? |

Hello everyone, I'm new here, new to NVG's, I just built my first ever device a PVS14. I ordered a housing kit from Superior Tactical and ended up buying a Tube from someone else, they didn't have any info on it other then it's a MX-11769 in Green Phosphor. I tried to figure out what all the codes meant and got confused, I was hoping someone a little quicker than me could fill me in on the rest?

thank you ! So did I do ok then ? I've spent the last few months instant messaging with dozens of Chinese producers (probably just sales people) trying to get them to just sell me a tube for their own advertised prices, it seems they have all made their advertisements a year or more ago and now our Dollar doesn't carry the same weight, they all want hundreds more then what is advertised, I would have paid double what I paid for this tube just for a tube that doesn't have manual gain or auto-gain with a tube of 1400 fom.
Does any of the info on the tube or packaging tell FOM or who manufactured it ? or are those three stats the only things available with what I was able to provide? |

That is an ITT US tube manufactured on the 47th week of 2019. You did fine depending on the price you paid. The specs I posted above will tell you the minimum FOM, not actual, as those are the minimum the Omni-VIII contract had to meet to fulfill the requirements. 64x25=1600FOM minimum. |

Thank you, I appreciate your help. To be honest it wasn't cheap, I paid $1700 for the tube. My original plan was to build my first device for the experience and I had the intention of using a used or slightly blemished tube or even a Chinese tube to save money and just dip my toe into this world, I had bought the housing months ago from Superior Tactical so I was kinda already locked into going this route, overall it seems I could have bought one from a vendor and had a warranty but like I said I originally wanted to piece together a unit using a Chinese housing and a used/blemished tube or Chinese tube , but dealing with some of the folks selling that gear was more trouble then it was worth, plus the prices weren't far off from where I ended up. |

The Chinese PVS14 housing was around $450 before shipping and taxes, so I decided to go with a Milspec US made housing from Superior Tactical for just a few hundred more, then same thing with the tube, I was only saving a few hundred dollars all said and done if I'd bought one of the used or blemished tubes I was researching, and all the dozens of chinese vendors I messaged with had a sliding price scale depending on the tube ie. white/green phosphor, autogated, manual gain, FOM ,anything over 1600FOM and they all wanted close to $3k after the included tax and shipping. Right before I pulled the trigger on a Chinese Tube with all the features I wanted I found this seller on Ebay, with basically a brand new unopened tube for half the price of what I was gonna pay for all the same features from a Chinese vendor. I might not have went the super cheap route I had planned but I'm very happy with the function and clarity of this tube.

Anyone have any insight into what type of tubes these are? I'd be curious to know Omni classification/specs, whether they are filmed/filmless, or any other info you might be able to decode from the info on the box. Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I have this tube that I pulled from an ATN 3P scope
 On page 12, the user Advance posted a tube that looks nearly identical to mine in the sense that it has a Silver bullet top with a black body, and has a cutout for a removable pigtail Would I be correct in assuming that my tube is also a L3 Omni 8 tube? On the output side of the Intensifier there is a little rubber cap covering where the pigtail would be installed. It also seems like L3 tubes have 9 digits and the numbering on the side is consistent with other L3 numbering I've seen in this thread   Sorry I don't know how to embed pictures(it shows them in preview) I usually lurk here only. Thanks everyone |

Hi, I've found this one for sales and I was wondering what kind of tube is. When turned on there is a distinct whine, it's gated and has autogain.
Also, with what kind of tube can be paired in a binos? https://i.imgur.com/QQc7txp.jpeg |
