Old military night vision

Anyone seen these before? Looks kinda interesting, apparently Israel used these. Gotta be better than the ATN types.

I am reducing my sporting collection and sad to see this amazing optic go. It doesn't get better than shooting targets at night! The quick disconnect mount allows for easy on/off for observing people, stars, or wildlife without your rifle without sacrificing MOA.

1960s technology. Doubt it is better than anything available today.

I wasn't comparing it to a $10k pvs-30, I'm wondering how it compares to something like the cheaper Armasight or ATN scopes. $10k vs $400.
I can't afford an old $2k pvs-14 so gotta consider outside the box options.

The intensifier tubes have a finite life ad these are probably well past that.

Isn't that only when they are being used? I dont know much about them. I think this is manufacturer refurbish so maybe has a new intensifier?
