   I know it's bad form to follow up on one's own post but someone may be   
   reading.

   It's now 4 out of 5 dead noir v2.1 cameras.   
      
   I note that ALL the dead ones have the metal canned crystal.   
   I managed to get an "old stock" NOIR V2.1 camera on ebay. It works fine   
   It also has the old plastic cased crystal.   
   And was only half the price.

   It causes me a great deal of regret and remorse   
   that so many people are unable to understand what I write.
