Topdog Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 A certain well known military supplier has image intensifier tubes for sale. NSN 5960-17-037-7118 made by Phillips. Any idea what piece of kit they come from? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Not surprisingly the NCB 17 indicates The Netherlands. Curiously the NSC used is 5961 - semiconductor devices, yet all parts lists I have for British image intensifiers identify the cells that they use as NSC 5855 - night vision equipment etc which seems more appropriate. So I can find no matches for this Philips tube in most British II equipment. Bit of detail here: http://lampes-et-tubes.info/ic/ic013.php?l=e PS Partly nonsense I dyslexed on 5960 Edited April 13, 2017 by fv1609 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topdog Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Thanks guys. I take it Clive that you believe that it is probably not a British night vision piece? I was planning on tracking down the original equipment and having some spare tubes. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
