I'm sure this doesn't matter to many besides myself but don't try to buy a green phosphor tube anymore.  I had a recent conversation with NVD and was told the manufacturers have ceased production due to lack of demand (read the military here).  If you currently own one of these great devices don't sell it.  Replacement will be impossible.

Someone should tell Hollywood and computer games developers…. NV astronomers will no longer see green….

FWIW if anyone is looking for GP right now it appears Superior Tactical has Gen 3 green in stock and even have green L3 unfilmed 18UA (Aviation Spec) listed as available. In the past they have been good about sending spec sheets of current inventory. Also TNVC lists GP still.

We still get 10160 and 11769 green tubes.  Mostly special order. 

 

We have two green 11769 (PVS-14) tubes in stock with some peppering...

Hey Vic, will that be announced here or is it going to be announced through your site or newsletter?

Hi, sorry for the delayed response, been crazy busy. 

 

It will be both, but I will make an announcement here in the sponsor area as I don't think I can use this thread.  Also, for everyone, these green L3/Harris tubes are thin filmed and NOT considered high spec based on our minimums with Unfilmed White Phos. This are lower spec tubes with some blems, etc.  

 

Just wanted to insure all knew about these green tubes.  Thank you.

That's some post, Vic.  Where did you get that cigar?  I hope you have great success with the sale.

 

I'd like to mention to anyone interested that the unit with an EBI of 0.1 is quite similar to the low EBI device that Gavster has posted on a few times here.  The SNR is lower than his and, of course, it is green instead of white but otherwise it seems more similar than different to me.  Also, the specs remind me a lot of my Collins I³ device that I like so much. The SNR is actually better than my Collins.

 

Thanks, too, for adding the screen shots.  That was really important.

Thank you for the post.

The cigar is a 2019 Cohiba Siglo VI. I collect a bunch of cigars and this pic was taken out in front of Wrigley Field after a Cubs win! :-)

I went to college across the Dan Ryan expressway from White Sox park. I'm with you, though; the Cubs are better.

 

When I lived in Evergreen, CO I could get a Chicago style Hot Dog downtown in a nice little place with Cubs memorabilia splashed all around.
