Count me in. That would be a great way to get our CDV-700's talking the same language. Steve. S. ... different members to use, then they can send it along to...
Hello, I have slaved over the first Victoreen CDV-700 in my attempts to get it to work properly. I think I am on the right track now. The reason for all...
Hello Members, I have recently acquired access to an X-Ray Fluorescence analyzer. I have the capability to report ppm concentrations for the following ...
After going through everything, I have finally isolating the problem to the warped meter. Which, if I can find one, could be replaced. Hi Steve, I have a large...
... Howdy Tom, What is your concern with B+ being on the coupling transformer at all times? Was this transformer under- engineered, and if so, how do we know...
... Hey Steve, The schematic for both is virtually identical. The main difference is as Tom points out, the GM tube is inductively coupled to the pulse...

... Hey Tom, ... How is this a blunder? It's not an engineering blunder, certainly, in terms of circuit design. (Using the same argument one could say that...

Have you tried baking out the leaky transformer at about 160F for an hour or so and then adding a few drops of one of the low viscosity anaerobic sealants? The...
Hi Craig, Excellent idea! Baking should work if water has slowly worked its way in via humidity... And the Loctite idea is a real winner as well. In the past,...

Hi Steve, Thought I'd give a clue to your low alpha counts on your thorium crystals. You noted yourself that the crystals are very dense. As such, you can...
Humm, Now that is something I did not consider. I could take a tiny one, which has less surface area than a larger one and test it for alpha. Most of these...
CDV700 Victoreens have a DU check source on the side. These appear to be made from measured strips of DU metal. Between the two Victoreen housings that I...
Aye, got it. But with the Victoreens that have DU strips,DU is DU refined under exact U.S. Gov specs, and if the same weight and size the readings from each DU...
Aye, BUT... If you look at the Victoreen 6A/B operating manual PDF that I found online it specifically states that the units can be calibrated with the check...
