[Milsurplus] [armyradios] Radio set values

[Clare Owens]

I can't help with the values but I can say that he should not attempt to
clean or otherwise disturb the Gibson Girl's front panel black area, where
the light colored panel legends are radioactive radium paint, completely
unprotected.  The markings normally do not glow in the dark any more
because the phosphor materials have deteriorated in the past 60 years.

My Gibson Girl is the most radioactive thing I own by a fair margin.  At a
distance of 6 inches it reads about twice as many counts per minute as I
get at 6 inches from my 5 microcurie Cs137 test disk.  The Cs-137 at 6
inches averages around 21,000 CPM on my Mazur PRM-9000.

Left alone the paint really isn't a problem but ingested or breathed in it
could be quite nasty.
