After reading this please keep the laughter to a minimum, or at least try. My PD just "retired" a command officer and I was the Sgt tasked with "helping" him move out. When going through his office post move we came across a set of NVG's and a receipt for the item. First, they were bought from a company called The Night Vision Equipment Company out of PA. Next, they were bought with department funds, but not with the Chief's authorization, and they do not show up anywhere on our current inventory. Our current Chief gave them to me for the SWAT team so I tried them out but.... nothing. They do not turn on at all. I don't even know if they are Gen 1-2 and the date of manufacture was 2005, we got them in 2006, or shall I say our "retired" command officer got them...
So I am sure the warranty is long expired but the damn things look like they were never used, just sat in a closet for eight years. My questions for the experts out there, are they salvageable? If so anyone repair goggles? If they can be repaired what is the cost, and is it even worth it to try? I can add photos and detail by request, but I want to find out first if we have anything more then a new pelican case.
