Night sight repairs

Hello, Welcome to ATN Russian image intensifier tube. That right Russian. There is a good possiblity that Russian manufactured the hole binocular with ATN name and logo on it. Typically, this image tube are made to their standards and not to USA standards. There are a lot of countries in this world that manufacture night vision devises and there parts. I know that ATN didn't pay what you paid for this nice looking....yes, that what I said "nice looking" But that about all it is... You can send it back to ATN for repairs but it will new Russian parts to replace old Russian parts.

Now, check IR illuminate to see if it is working. This 1st gen Russian image tube are good up to 80-100 yards. I wish you all the luck. GB...stewbison

I managed to round up 1 gen green Russian image tube, but the ccfl inverter, tolorid coil, voltage multiplier I had to manufactured them. Sorry, wish that I could be more help. stewbison

Hello, Kalinka Baigish is Russian and they do make NV devises but China? Now, the Chinese do manufacture NV Image Intensfier tubes to Generation 2 but manufacture the hole night vision devise is new to me. Of course, about 1/3 of the world countries manufacture some sort of night vision devises or there parts.

Contact Night Vision Optics they sell these Russian night vision devise under the brand name: Night Vision Optic and they have a logo. There are only companies in the US that manufacture night vision stuff. Also, some of the US companies do use US image tubes and other electronic components, and maybe US optics are used.

Hello, it seems that there are quit a few people that have ATN products that will destroy it self just setting on a shelve in the closet. I sorry to mention this to you. This ATN Night Jaguar Binocular are manufactured in Russia.


The biggest problem is those Russian image intensifier tubes. They are manufactured without any type of quality control, also they are made with very thin glass, and what is the quality of this Russian made glass. About 85% of the problem with a number of vender's that sell and ply their NV goods that all are manufactured in Russian, and that even includes the cases. Night Vision vendors will have the Russian put their name's and logo's them and sell them as; excellent quality Night Vision Monoculars, Binoculars, scopes, and other NV devises.



This could be a problem for you being in England. I think that ATN might have a couple of distributors located in England, and Europe. You need to check their web site. Also, you know that this ATN NV binocular is about 7 years old. I'm fairly sure that ATN will try to get you to trade in for a upgrade which more British Pounds. They might also tell you to ship it to the US for repairs. You can try to auction it off on eBay in Europe. I need some parts, what do you want for it? Sorry buddy. Best of Luck, GB you.....stewbison

Hello David. David you night vision doesn't use any batteries that one installs. You have Kalinka Zenit NV monocular that is Russian manufactured but is sold by Night Vision Optics. Your night vision uses a piezo electric ignitor to charges the batteries and charge a couple capacitors.

The lever on top to the Zenit monocular is activated by squeezing the handle that is covered in a rubber type material. Just keep squeezing on the lever and in while things will start working. Best of Luck David. GB...stewbison

This is by design. You can replace it with a toggle switch from radio shack. You will need to know how to solder.

Unfortunately the old Cyclop is no more. Repairing night vision is very expensive. There are newer better models available for the cost of the repair if it were possible. Yukon make a great monocular the Seawolf. I still have a Cyclop but the Seawolf kills it for view and quality and its waterproof.
