[MRCA] AN/VDR-27 Radiac Meter

[Ray Fantini]

The old vacuum tube version is worth $50 and the newer solid state version maybe as much as $100 although have seen them sell for as low as $20 complete with sample and priced as high as $250.00 They do a fair job detecting radium but no where near as good a job as a modern instrument. Don’t know what they had in the test sample but imagine that may be an issue to ship by mail these days, although it was in a lead canister. Spare pickup tubes add to the value, also if it’s clean and has a full set of D cells.

I have an AN/VDR-27 radiac in very nice shape that I'm going to sell.  It's grey and marked "US Navy-Bureau of Ships," has the steel box and suite of accessories (minus the test-source).

Is anyone interested?  Does anyone know what it's worth?

Happy Everything.
