[Milsurplus] radium and eBay

[J. Forster]

The WS 19 is SAFE. The only thing that is hot is the very tip of the power
switch on the Power Supply Unit.

If you look very carefully, there is a tiny glass dome with something pink
or violet behind it. That is a Radium salt.

The only hazzard is if you break that little glass dome.

All the other switches, meter, and dials are stone cold.
