This weekend I started working on one of my CDV 700 Victoreen 6a's. I replaced the battery terminals (they where badly corroded) shined up a spare lower case...
Hi Chris, Online manuals available at: http://southernradiation.com/manuals.html Are you going to find some of that uranium that the guys at Dangerous Labs...
Thanks Charlie. I'd like to get my 6A working so I can sell one (I have another working one) and use it to build a scintillator (I've seen your web page). I...
Hi Chris! Sorry to hear it didn't come back to life longer.... The 6 and 6A are identical, AFAIK.... I'll scan the schematic and post it in the files section...
Thanks for the advice, you probably saved me quite a bit of time. I am going to work on it Sunday, time permitting. I will post the diagnosis and treatment. ...
A brief update on my Radector refurb project. I built the 5.4V regulater on the bench as a prototype (runs on a 9V "transistor radio" battery) and then just...
Hi David, ... These are just chemical dosimeters.You'll have to place them in a device called "reader" to have the indication of the absorbed dose (in roentgen...
It's a TLD... ThermoLuminescent Dosimeter. To read them, a crystal inside is removed and placed in an instrument which exposes the crystal to UV and uses a...
Thanks Jean-François for the tip. I think its called thermo-luminescence when you accumulate radiation damage in a crystal and then release it, by annealing,...
1. I found that a mix of KF and K Fluoroborate, sold as "silver braze flux" in a hardware store, can be used to perform the uranyl-fluorescence bead test. 2....
Na2B4O7 -10H2O, Hydrated sodium borate, is the material provided in most assay kits for bead tests. I just spotted this bouncing around some Yahoo returns on...
... http://mineral.galleries.com/minerals/carbonat/borax/borax.htm lists places I could find borax myself. That's the next level up in retro / "stone knives...
Hello all. For those that are interested FEMA has on line Emergency courses that are a good base for anyone interisted in learning about radiation and...
I would not recommend using a cinderblock either. I am referring to the concrete blocks that are about 8x8x12 and have two open holes. These are made out of...
Tracy, you should inquire with your county EM office as to the availability of G320 Fundementals Course for Radiological Response. Although I don't agree with...
hello CD Since I have completed IS-2, IS-3, and IS-301. If I complete RERO for the fun of it am I qualified to do nuclear (trioge) in a nuclear attack? I think...
Tracy, those are IS courses. I hate to break it to you, but nobody I've met really takes those things seriously. They're excellent starts, something most never...
I use a charred 6-inch section of a 2X4 as the specimen holder. The carbon in the charcoal doesn't interfere with the bead test. cheers, <pb> -- On Fri, 05...

My only concern for Tracy is not to repeat my mistake. I went to my local EOC all "high" on my IS success, and I managed to get one of the people thinking I...
Thank you Sir I would hate to think that the Saginaw County EOC would have reccomended those courses to me for nothing. and now the EOC is Issuing me a races...
That ranks right up there with the people who think the Pen Dosimeters are penlights - yeah, its a good thing they put those rechargeable penlights in the...
