Victoreen Model 450 Survey Meter/Geiger Counter

I PURCHASED THIS METER FROM GOVERNMENT SURPLUS. I'VE SOLD SEVERAL OF THESE IN THE PAST, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST ONE I'VE HAD IN AWHILE. THE DESCRIPTION BELOW CAME WITH IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT.

The Model 450 Ion Chamber Survey Meter is a lightweight hand-held,

battery operated unit designed to measure alpha above 4 MeV, beta

above keV, and gamma and x-ray radiation above 7 keV, using the

latest CMOS and LCD technology.

The unit is auto-ranging and auto-zeroing. The meter measures

exposure and exposure rate, and can hold the maximum exposure rate

encountered.

I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT THESE INSTRUMENTS, SO THERE'S NOT MUCH I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT IT. THE PICTURES ARE OF THE ONE YOU ARE BIDDING ON. THE ONLY THING I NOTICED WHEN I PUT BATTERIES IN IT, IS THAT SOME OF THE NUMBERS ARE FADED (SEE PICTURE). YOU CAN STILL MAKE THEM OUT BY TILTING IT A LITTLE. THEY MIGHT CLEAR UP AFTER LEAVING IT ON FOR AWHILE, BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. I JUST TURNED IT ON BRIEFLY TO TAKE PICTURES. IT'S BEING SOLD "AS IS" WITH NO WARRANTY EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. I SHIP TO CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES ONLY. SHIPPING WILL BE CALCULATED TO YOUR ZIPCODE.
