I don't remember exactly which version the TBY actually was.

Does the early TBY, the one with the lamp bulb in both front panel upper corners, have less radium than the later, most common version?
 
I wonder if this is true: most seen  TBY and TBX are suffix -8, and these were least likely to have actually been used in WW2, if at all.
 
My friend John Nelson AA7W tells me the Japanese gear is a "real hot item" too.  It looks like radium paint, at least on their type 94-6 one tube squawkie talkie, but I have never metered it.
