Look lads, all this self build nv scopes and spotters, all these ir lamp conversions and builds, well, it's just got to stop. Here's me, all nice and content tatting with this and that then you lot come along and entice me to try this and give that a go etc.
I've just taken a perfectly good lamp apart for no other reason than to see if can be improved
You're ruining normal folks lives with all this nv and ir, you know we can't resist messing and buying off ebay.
It's just not on.
Well I'm off now to see what else I can take apart and convert, if I find nothing then I'll just order something I can take apart and wreck

You have it bad Mike, you really need treatment. Whatever you do don't go to Dr Marky610

Trouble with waiting for goods from China is that by the time it arrives, you've already moved on to your new invention.
So you need to order more new parts, and while you're waiting for those to arrive, etc., etc.

The only uncertainty about this lark is what hits you first, lunacy of bankruptcy.
