I sold the last one I had a few years ago,
IIRC it had a manual that told you have to inspect, examine and repair as needed,

may want to look around the web and see if you can find a .pdf of that manual

Hi Andy
I've got a collection of US night vision that includes the M3 scope and posted a bunch of info and photos over on the M14 forum. Here is a link and if you go there and register you will be able to see the photos. https://m14forum.com/optics/472348-photos-my-us-night-vision-collection.html
I do have the manual for the scope.

This is a listing for a full wiring setup so you can see what the ends are supposed to look like https://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-100-ORIGINAL-Korean-War-Era-M3-Infrared-Sniper-Scope-MAIN-POWER-CABLE/264090001710?hash=item3d7cfda12e:g:VIwAAOSwkelcDH1 3

Hi Scout
Thanks so much. It is possible to have a scanned copy of the manual by email?
