Old night vision binocs
I was given a set of old night vision binoculars, I think they were imported by night hawk. They have a Russian B looking number, BN-453. One of the lenses has failed, which is why I was given them. I haven't been able to track down any information on them, such as generation, common issues, any fixes. Does anyone know about these old things?

I found the night hawk site too, but I got the idea that they were not made in Russia where mine are marked Made in Russia. These are way past the warranty, they are going to be at least 10 years old. Thanks for looking though.

I was looking more for white paper or tech specs for it rather than getting someone to fix it for me. I just played it with it again, and noticed that with the switch off, it still shows. Perhaps it takes a while for it to discharge, but I wouldn't think a display would continue to change and the camera operate for more than a second without power. Then I thought the switch ran an IR lamp, but no noticeable change in brightness, but there was a lot of light.
It's not worth paying to get it fixed in my view, current model NVDs aren't that terribly expensive. Plus if I was to spend money on one, I want a scope or a weapon mountable NVD.
