ZG 1229 Vampir somewhere?

Two pieces will have a complete function (already sold), if you wish when buying, only the lamp will be functional. It is still available

I hope that I'll be one of those who get a fully functional one . Highly looking forward to the finished product. Extremely skillfully made. Can't wait to see them finished. Did you do the welding yourself? Almost looks laser welded.

Thank you for the reply. I'll probably kick myself for not buying one of these, but I just can't bring myself to drop that much coin on a non-functioning unit. It is clearly EXTREMELY WELL crafted!!

The spotlight glass appears to be from the illuminator used on both the B8-V and their early post war NV binoculars.

I have news, it will be ready at the end of the month, unfortunately the lathes is broken and this is delaying everything

 

[roos1984]

Today my mount was welded to the bracket

What is left to be done for them to be finished?

 

[roos1984]

Actually only small things, but they all have to be painted.

Any update @roos1984 ?

 

[roos1984]

not much, except that mine is almost done... there is always work after work

Wow, that thing is a true giant! Did you already turn it on and see if it worked?

without function, all devices are ready. I'm now starting to build the function on my device. That will be a big challenge for me. It's also not entirely clear to me whether the devices were painted or chemically coated. Maybe someone has information for me?

WoW!!!! Zg1229 at the MAC Show

I was walking along at the MAC show in York PA minding my own business when I spied something on my left. Without thinking, I said "HOLY SH$T!!" as it sank in that I was looking at a Zg1229 with the electronics pack and cable still attached!! Just finding the optic itself would have been...

Thank you very much, that definitely helps me... that's how I imagined the color to be

 

[roos1984]

the electronics won't be easy, but everything fits quite well. The connection is also difficult but the headlight works

How did you plan to do the battery? Similar to original?

 

[roos1984]

I think I will only use the gas mask can as a battery.

Can you tell us about the electronics you are using in your project?

 

[Wilhelm]

What are you using as a donor optic?

Wish we could get Poulin to open us that gas mask can to show what is inside

I have an old funat (zeiss wetzlar)) device, it was built in the 1950s and comes very close to the zg1229. Even the range is about 100 meters, like the original
