My old stand by PVS-14 appears to be experiencing its last days:

I don't know how old it is or what tube is in it, but its been a good one.

I thought everyone might want to see what "shading" or "going to air" looks like.

I will be replacing the tube with a new ITT or L3 tube in the near future.

Anyone have questions or comments . . . .ask away.

General:
1. The tube was never exposed to bright light
2. It was stored in a pelican case with lenscaps on
3. Never stored with batteries.
4 Never dropped
5. Never weapon mounted since I have had it.
 
Well TexasGun you are not alone with pvs14 problems. Mine will not even turn on, all i get is blackness. I thought it was the battery being the problem, so i placed a new battery and still no go. I don't think it is my ITT tube, but i guess it could be.
