1. ENI CD V-700 6B geiger counter in absolutely great condition....inside and out. This is a new-surplus instrument that easily qualifies as 'Museum Quality' for you Cold War collectors.  It appears as though it just rolled off the factory floor. More importantly, it functions flawlessly and with extreme accuracy. It has been thoroughly tested....a burn-in test in which it was left on for 6 consecutive hours while placed next to a source of Cs-137. The needle did not drift, except for fluctuations due to 'normal' background radiation, which is to be expected. The unit also responded with accurate readings when measuring thorium, uranium, cerium, carnotite and trinitite. Internal components were inspected, and tested where feasible, and all tests were passed. This unit was calibrated within the past 2 weeks. Photo # 4 shows my cluttered electronics bench, where I do tests and replace old components with new ones.<p>

I want to stress that this is NOT an AS IS. item. It comes with a MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE , for any reason. If you are not happy with it, I will refund your purchase price, plus all shipping costs within 30 days of purchase.. Also included are original headphones, carrying strap and the original owner's manual. All that is needed to get it up and running is to install 4 size 'D' flashlight batteries, and turn it on! A sensitive 6993 geiger tube is already installed.  In addition, all electrolytic capacitors on the circuit board have been replaced.  This should add many years to the working life of this instrument.  In addition, these units were designed to be waterproof.  I tested this with my own geiger counter (same model)....dropped it into the bathtub and all of the gaskets and 0-rings held tight.  However, I do not suggest trying this yourself.  I make no guarantees and this is not covered by my warranty ;)

2. Test-Sources...Included will be a small mineral sample which will help you learn to use your new geiger counter.  In addition, I will include a 'relic' of the "Trinity Test" which happened at 5:29 AM on July 16, 1945.....the first nuclear explosion in history. One of the by-products of the Trinity Test is trinitite.

I ask that we remember our troops who are in harm's way, their families back home and our veterans, many of whom have no homes. Also, due to the current state of world affairs, the sale of this instrument is limited to the U.S. Let's pray 'It' doesn't happen, but having a calibrated geiger counter is a first step in protecting yourself and your family. 

This geiger counter will detect 'fission type' nuclear bombs, 'fussion type' (hydrogen thermonuclear bombs) and 'dirty nuclear bombs' which are of great concern today.  'Dirty nuclear bombs' do not create a nuclear explosion, but rather consist of  a conventional explosive (such as TNT, C-4) which spreads radioactive isotopes which are rich in gamma radiation.  This is our main concern today, since terrorists would have little trouble obtaining gamma producing isotopes.  The mortality rate from such a 'dirty nuke' would probably be small, but the terror created by such a device is exactly what terrorists hope to achieve.

For you rock-hounds, this geiger counter is super-sensitive, sensitive enought to detect trace amounts of uranium in your rock samples. It even detects normal 'background' radiation if conditions are right.

Many thanks for your time, Doc Davis......Davis GeoSciences.
