[Milsurplus] BC-9

[Hubert Miller]

You thought right about Dave's point.
My question relates to possible differences between suffix models.

>I thought Dave's point was that the glass meter cover was broken - not that there aren't a pile of other sets with the same radium painted dials.  I seem to recall that the consensus of this and other groups over the years was that there was little danger unless that glass was broken or missing, whereupon some careful cleaning was necessary, with appropriate disposal of all soiled cleaning materials.

But I've been wrong before...:-)

Are you sure the TBX-8 is any different? The only TBX I have heard that doesn't have radium is the -6, and that's only "heard it".

I wonder about the early TBYs, say thru TBY-2, which had 2 lamps on the front panel.

Hi Dave,

Well, the same thing is true for all the owners of the TBY, Gibson Dirl and the early TBX sets since they have the Radium paint right on their front panels.  Ya pays yer money and ya takes your chances...

Radium dust.

The meter cover is broken.
