Hello y'all... I'm very interested in night scopes, and would appreciate any pointers toward schematics, or if anybody has used equipment ( I don't have the $$$ for new equip!) even 1st generation image intensification tubes, or 6032 IR tubes. I would like to make my own scopes, and try various combinations. So, netters, if anybody has a half done project, or hamfest remnants (including HV, low amp supplies) Send me a price... Thanks a bunch for all tips, Seth Redmore " If at first you don't succeed-- change the rules..."

Greetings. I saw something similar in a good book (with a silly cover and title) "How to make your own laser, [can't remember the rest]" It's thick, about 300 pages, and has several projects in it. One of them I think, has a plans to build a nigh-vision aid. It consisted of a flyback, oscilator, voltage multiplier, IR tube (6032), and a nice and to the point message that elderly people with pacemakers should not touch it! ;-) I believe it has addresses of companies that manufacture parts. It also included a "specs" sheet for the IR tube (If I remember correctly, that is...) By the way, it has some other "neat" projects like lasers and a 30Watt CO2 laser that you can build by yourself (need a HeNe for setup)... Take care and have fun (in that order :-) -- _______________________________________________________________________________ "The Force will be with you, always."

Greetings. I forgot to mention that it also has a project that allows you to listen to ultrasound As I remember, someone wanted to lower sounds by some value... I think that should help.

Yeah, I xeroxed some stuff out of that book. If you can get ahold of laser tubes, you can make some pretty powerful stuff. I'm currently making the project in there "Phasor Shockwave Pistol". Its not as good as they say it is, but it is really interesting with the ultrasonics and all. It's a good book, i'll have to stop xeroxing stuff out of it and actually buy it. Later! "MINE!"
