Great Video where do you suggest sending them to be purged, and culminated. I just bought a set of very expensive tubes for my 15's and the last guy I talked too offered to build them for $500. Thank you in advance

500$ is way to much, you've just seen how easy it is to do. But as stated at the end of the video you'll need to get them collimated and purged but someone that has that equipment. I recommend steele industries from Florida. I wouldn't be surprised if the service would be less than 100$ all said and done.

Is it possible the difference between A and C models is the direction the tube installs? I had read they install from the front... of course the video clearly shows the opposite.... I have pvs15 and was wanting to swap it's old tubes into a new build of mine and wait to get some super tubes for the 15s.... bc honestly the 15 lens are truly amazing and 66 water rating is best in industry.

I’m 99% confident it is the same as the Charlie. But be careful during objective lense install because the amount of material around the threads on the body is very thin and prone to cracking if you overtighten your ocular lense onto the body

@@LukePRTR appreciate the tips and concerns! As of now, I'm only needing to tear down to remove the tubes. When I get new super tubes (sometime next summer probably) I'll end up sending the pvs15 to someone to make sure it is greased up, sealed and purged correctly as I want them in top shape. Current build is 1431s with Ether objectives. Just looking to have some fun installing, and having a housing that if a lens breaks or anything, that it's easier or order a replacement for and do myself. Leaving my 15s as my elite set, when I get some super tubes for them. Really can't stress how glad I am you posted this video!!

Will two pvs-14 tubes work?
@LukePRTR
5 жыл бұрын
Depends, if your PVS 14s has a MX11769 then they need to modified by removing the pigtails and have resistors installed, to set a gain level. If they have 10160's then they will drop right in! An easy way to tell if you have a 11769 or 10160 is if your PVS 14 has a functioning GAIN knob. If the knob does not work or change brightness then you have 10160. This is fairly common on budget PVS 14's or PVS 14's that are using ANVIS tubes.
