Its got 2 days left, so I have a feeling its gonna creep up a bit, but hopefully not too much....

Ive thought about it, but I don't really know. The reason I'm looking at the D3MK is that it's currently a tenner, so if I can't get it to work it's not really a problem. In a way its bad timing on my behalf, due to exams and the like. If the 3MK falls flat on its face I'll just save up for a year. ...

Sounds really lucky that you managed to get one that didn't really have a fault!

Thanks for the welcome.

Well that sucks. The one I might be getting is being sold as spares/repairs and I'm its something that doesn't involve a new tube....

Hi, just joined the forum today, trying to get into night vision (for interest and Army Cadets). Been intresested in NV for ages, just could never afford it (I'm 16, and now have an allowance and a job :D ) Out of interest, does anyone know a good source of spare parts for a Dipol 3MK? I might be la...
