I just bought a very lightly used AGM pvs14-omega 3AW1 for $3000 with a full warranty. I don’t see many people talk about these so I’m hoping it’s a decent deal. It’s a thin filmed white phosphor tube. Specs below

Fortunately I bought it from a dealer and was able to return it. Thanks for all the love and well wishes.

Spectacular news! All's well that ends well. Now you know what to look for.

Stick with modern L3 or Elbit unfilmed or thin-filmed tubes. Look for an FOM above 1800. If it doesn't come with a spec sheet, either pass on it or it had better be a terrific bargain. The AGM you got is worth $2K absolute tops. A 2000 FOM unit with true "MIL spec" glass is worth $3-3500. L3 Unfilmed WP fetch higher prices.
 
25-28 S/N + 64lp — Low-end ~$2K unit.
28-32 S/N + 64lp — Mid-range ~$2500-3000 unit.
35+ S/N + 72-81lp — High-end $3-4K unit.

Low: 1500-1700 FOM
Mid: 1800-2200 FOM
High: 2300+ FOM

If you can score a 2500+ FOM WP unit for $3K like the other dude = WINNER!
