Description
Civil Defense Department instrument issued for civilian use during nuclear attack or reactor meltdown. These Radiological Survey Meters come marked with the Civil Defense logo. The units appear to be in unused condition with only minor handling and storage marks. We assume them to be working, however, we do not warrant their functionality, accuracy or performance in a gamma or beta environment or otherwise. The manuals have a rather extensive trouble-shooting and corrective maintenance section including repair and replacement of resistors, diodes, etc. Tested and functioning according to the manufacturers specifications, having passed the 'circuit check' test and 'meter zero' test though we have no way of determining whether they are calibrated.
