I was Going through my pvs-14s and my armasight gen3 pvs-14 from 2014 that was fine when I moved here now has a bright spot.  These were still in the plastic until this year so they had not been used for years, I have a L3 tube I normally use but was putting in for a bino to try.  They were going to be my ex wife’s tube.  

I did Not notice this a few months ago and it was put up in my closet.  The tube has less than an hour on it because I have not been going shooting much at night.  

They are out of warranty at armasight is there any way to fix this?  It was an Armasight PVS-14 alpha model with automated ITT Omni 7 tube.

My divorce was finalized last year ($400k got full custody of the kids but…) so they have never been ran just sat in the green bag with lots of plastic and in a plastic black Plano ammo can that it could fit in.

No expert here.

However to me that does not look like burn in, or damage to your IT but possibly a piece of dust or debris has made its way inside and is being illuminated.

It’s still there.

Well the tube has less than one hour and it is an Omni VII tube so there is that.

I bought a very old tube with multiple emission points, had it for 8 years, then finallyy gave it to a family member, it's still running strong and the points haven't gotten bigger.

Problem is I have barely an hour on these if that.  I am just upset I did not take a look at them when I got them.
