The two bare tubes (5T & 6T) can be sold individually or I can build PVS-14. I have all the tools for purging and back-filling so you will have a proper assembly.

There is a small amount of corrosion in one of the housings, and it's reflected in the price. Its not bad and doesn't detract from reliability nor functionality.

Howdy Everyone -

Just realized the last tube wasn't uploaded in the original pictures.. I can send to anyone interested. It has two small light streaks in zone 2.

Regarding tube and assembly deets -

Assembly #1 - Assembled by Nivisys

Assembly #2 - Assembled by Superior Tactical

Assembly #3 - Assembled by me under standard Mil procedures in ISO 100 clean-room

Assembly #4 - Assembled by TNVC

What we know --

Unfortunately unsure the exact details of the assemblies. The assembly I did was put together so long ago I don't have the tube details anymore unless I take it apart..

I purchased the other assemblies with the impression they are autogated. Haven't used them enough to notice.

Now that being said, the individual tubes and assembly #3 & #4 are MX-11769/UV tubes with variable gain.

All others are likely to also be MX-11769 tubes

The bare tubes are both MX-11769/UV 18mm Inv/Gain High Performance tubes - NSN 5855015044590 - Contract W9124Q-05-D-0821 - Which would make them Omni VII

Omni VII specs:
Resolution lp/mm
64
S/N 25
Photocathode sensitivity uA/lm@2856K
2000
Sensitivity at uA/lm@830nm
230@830
100@880
Gain fL/fc 50,000-80,000
MTF@2.5lp/mm 0.92
MTF@7.5lp/mm 0.8
MTF@15lp/mm 0.61
MTF@25lp/mm 0.38
Halo (mm) 0.9
Phosphor P-43
Year 2002
EBI (x10^-11) 2.5

It is very likely the assemblies are also in the same caliber of Omni Grade. But they are AT LEAST Omni IV (though again.. probably better)

Omni IV specs:
Resolution lp/mm
64
S/N 21
Photocathode sensitivity uA/lm@2856K
1800
Sensitivity at uA/lm@830nm
190
Gain fL/fc 40,000-70,000
MTF@2.5lp/mm 0.92
MTF@7.5lp/mm 0.8
MTF@15lp/mm 0.61
MTF@25lp/mm 0.38
Halo (mm) 1.25
Phosphor P-43
Year 1996
EBI (x10^-11) 2.5

Let me know if there are any other questions I can answer!

Happy to also take pictures with objects in background as reference.

What year is the TNVC tube from?

What year is the TNVC tube from?

Unsure of the tube in the TNVC unit without taking it apart..

The units Serial Number is 008312. We can get a hold of TNVC and I'm sure they have those details handy.

It appears to be a relatively new unit. I would be surprised if it has a old tube in it. Very likely to be a Omni VI or VII.

I also forgot to mention all the housing are the "modern" single battery housings. So this is also an indicator of newer assemblies.

Is it autogated?

 

[Abraham Plinkin]

Is it autogated?

The TNVC unit (#4) has variable manual gain. Thus meaning it does not have autogated functionality.

Manual gain is often a more sought after feature due to the no BS adjustment per the mission requirements. Sometimes the autogating can adjust undesirably in certain scenarios.
