[Milsurplus] TBX on Guam

[Hubert Miller]

I will guess that some early predecessor of the TBX ( like TBO ?? ) had no radium.
I have a -2 but I have not radiac'd it yet. I wager that it's loaded also. I have a 
TBY which was postwar grey repainted and I want to radiac it, see whether they
removed the radium or just moved it around. 
I swear, I think even the thumbwheel markings on the TBX are hot. Something to 
think about, or be careful with. I have never seen paint flake from a TBX, except 
for one which had very poor storage or abusive treatment -  like one I am selling
right now. Of course this is not proof of anything, as my vision is limited to a 
certain not that great resolution. At one time I removed the two tuning counter
disks from the TBX and was going to replicate them sans radium, but after x years
with nothing done, I thought "Why?" and just reinstalled the 2 disks.  -Hue Miller
