receiving soon (see my post below).
Part of the trade package is a older Russian PSOP 4x24 and
a newer Russian PSOP 8x42.
First, the bulb in the older one is burnt out. It's the older-style 2.5v bulb. It seems to work fine with the 3v bulb out of the newer scope. When I order a new bulb, can I just get a few 3v's for both scopes, so I can have extras lying around, or should I order a few of both voltages? I found a source for both types at $4.99 & $5.99 a piece.
I guess I'm asking if running the older scope with a 3v
will have detrimental affects on the scope in the long
run...
Next, the older scope has a Russian battery in it. It also has a lead cap to convert it to accept "AA" batteries. I'd rather keep the original configuration with the Russian battery, so what is it and where can I get some extras? Something tells me the Wal-Mart employee will probably just give me a funny look if I asked for a Russian battery like this one...
The markings on the old battery say "2 PII 63 2,5B 0,55a-y Coxpah. 18 mec".
BTW - these two scopes are the coolest things I've seen in
awhile!!!
