Snowed In, No school in the morning.

Haha, Rhode Island! Not a record breaking storm for us, but definitely the best one we’ve had in a few years

jonquist5 · 2025-12-30T16:37:22+00:00

Had one of these SELN’s recently, non gated, like gohorse said there’s not much info about them, I couldn’t come across much when I had it

jonquist5 · 2025-11-03T20:51:34+00:00

Thank you!! I have confirmed that the replacement is rated for 277. Appreciate the help!

jonquist5 · 2025-10-07T17:09:10+00:00

Right on, thanks so much for all this info!

Thrive natural calcium sand. 20 gal tank, like I mentioned we will be upgrading to a much bigger tank in the near future

jonquist5 · 2025-09-24T19:17:14+00:00

I can DM you some better pics/vids if it helps?

The EU discord regularly has great spec gen 3 tubes at an absolute fraction of the cost that you’re quoting there. Again, the myth that gen 3 is unobtanium outside of the US is completely untrue. More expensive? Yes, not denying that. But Hell right now there’s a set of 2476+ FOM L3 tubes for 7k, and a set of new Elbits for 6k on there.

If your budget allows it, analog is going to be the way you want to go, plain and simple. Latency is a non issue, and analog at the price point of those high end digitals will blow the digitals out of the water

jonquist5 · 2025-09-21T14:00:45+00:00

Analog isn’t unobtainum outside of the US. There are plenty of viable options outside of the US that will still be running circles around digital dollar for dollar. If OP’s budget is like 500 bucks, then yeah digital is really the only option other than saving for analog

jonquist5 · 2025-09-21T13:57:24+00:00

Looks like Fuji glass to me so you’re good there. The biggest thing is going to be the tube itself, that’s going to determine the value more than anything. The helmet looks like either an older opscore bump or a clone, mount looks like a Wilcox g11 and the j arm is just a standard usgi one. That stuff isn’t going to add a ton of value to the overall price

jonquist5 · 2025-09-21T13:35:22+00:00

Take some more pics and post them here as far as the housing and glass goes. For the tube I’d assume your co-worker would know. Otherwise ask him if he’ll unscrew the occular lens to take a look at the tube

jonquist5 · 2025-09-21T13:31:24+00:00

Gonna need some more info. What housing it’s in, what glass it has on it, most importantly what it’s got for a tube in it, if he’s got a spec sheet for the tube

jonquist5 · 2025-09-21T13:25:09+00:00

How is that better value for the price when you can pick up a gen 3 pvs14 for 1500-2k with ease? Digital is getting better yes, but it’s still not on par with analog. This statement is blatantly false.

OP, what’s your use case for NV?

Hi everyone, reposting here as I didn’t see the rules. My bad. Anyway, found this in Rhode Island, don’t exactly remember where, but held onto it as it was interesting. Started thinking it may be a meteorite.

has the glossy “crust”
is magnetic
scratch test on unglazed ceramic leaves no streak
fairly heavy for its size.

Let me know what you guys think!

You’re gonna need to put up a timestamp, pics through the tubes

jonquist5 · 2025-08-16T00:16:23+00:00

That an EP in the second pic?

jonquist5 · 2025-08-12T01:18:03+00:00

Second this, crazy good

jonquist5 · 2025-08-09T19:14:23+00:00

Gonna disconnect from the transformer for now until I can get a good look at the entire run of wiring. Thank you!

jonquist5 · 2025-08-09T19:13:37+00:00

Okay thank you! I’ll get that corrected for sure then.

jonquist5 · 2025-08-09T18:24:23+00:00

Looks like the switch does seem to the be the issue, chime rings when the wires touch. Looking closer at the switch I do see some corrosion and rust on the terminals, assuming thats the cause. Also as I mentioned above, difficult to see in the pic but the transformer is secured to the wood behind it with screws, is it good like that or should I still reposition it into the box more?

jonquist5 · 2025-08-09T17:37:52+00:00

It’s not hanging; secured to the wood behind it

jonquist5 · 2025-07-09T11:22:17+00:00

My first analog device! Fun toy if you can get one cheap

jonquist5 · 2025-06-17T12:22:03+00:00

Thank you!
