To avoid small debris or fingerprints you can try to use surgical gloves.

I have those when I assemble my sac lenses, but since I don't touch either the glas on the tube or lenses I don't bother with gloves. And I don't wipe them unless they a actually are dirty since they are usually already clean from factory. But thanks for the advice ☺️

Glad I found this video. Trying to take mine apart to fit onto a TNV PBM-A. Was wondering why it wouldn’t unthread after a certain point.

Any guidance on where to get "kit" to rebuild a PVS14. mine has a milspec tube in a civilian body I forget the name of it . But its not compatible with any helmet mount.

Nice video. I have a one year old PVS-14 that I got from JRH, I love it, but sometimes I wish I had a loaner to use when bringing out a friend or family member, and considered doing a more "budget" setup and trying my hand and throwing one together. I take it that you did not nitrogen purge the unit, would you say in your experience this isn't 100% necessary? Where is a good source for parts/tubes?
@perchowski3021 Жыл бұрын
You can buy wine preserver which is 100% nitrogen and spray it into the PVS14, then put the cap on. It's not as perged as a professional perge but it's a lot better than nothing. Considering it's heavier than air, it should get 95% nitrogen in approx.

How should I clean the inside part of lens and tube ?
@EagleBayNightSupplies2 жыл бұрын
Make sure to get rid of all debris. Then you should take a cotton Q-tip, start in the middle of the lens and move outwards in a circular motion. Do not apply to much pressure. If there are still fingerprints or grease on the tube/glas. Take a new Q-tip, dip in isopropylalcohol and redo the circulare wiping motion.

Any lens with a chemical coating should be alcohol and air only.

That is certainly a very well “lubricated” pvs14. (Edit)

Don’t you have to purge the tube?
@EagleBayNightSupplies4 ай бұрын
You can't purge a tube. But it is recommended to purge the unit once it's built. But as it says in the title "without special tools". We got full set of correct tools and purging device. But for this specific video that aims to help people who wanna build their own pvs14 so we didn't bother because cheap DIY won't afford a purging device😊 Never the less, a unit needs to be purged every 6 months which I highly doubt anyone outside the military does.

@@EagleBayNightSupplies only way to really augment that would be the use of a inert gas like argon thats typically found in wine preservers. nowhere near a commercial purge but helps a wee bit

Why the black spot?
@EagleBayNightSupplies2 ай бұрын
Black spots with sharp edges are defects from the manufacturing process. And black spots with soft edges are light damages. It's quite common to have a few smal black spots, especially on commercial grade tubes just like this Photonis echo tube in the video.
