I have checked a number of 19 sets, and the only radioactive thing was the tip
of the toggle switch on the Power Supply Unit. There is apparently some pinkish
radioactive powder behind the small glass lens. As long as it's not broken,
there seems to be little danger.
I don't claim to have checked every 19 set, but this is the case with all that I
have checked.
