CDV-715 Gamma Radiation Detector - Geiger Counter

Do you have a bomb shelter or a bug out retreat, or survival shelter for when the SHTF (S--t hits the fan)? Do you want to know when it's safe to come back outside? This Cold War Relic was designed for just that purpose. Although we can't warrant these units for any particular purpose- They would be better than sending little Jimmy out to see if the coast is clear. Your Survival Preparedness Kit isn't complete without this CDV-715 Gamma Radiation Detector-Geiger Counter.

• Detects dosage rates from .01 to 500. roentgens/hr +- 15% accuracy
• Detects high levels of Gamma Radiation only
• Zero Adjust knob
• Analog screen range 0-5 roentgens/r (r/he is multiplied by the appropriate range scale as selected with range switch)
• Selector Switch Settings: circuit check, off, zero (calibrate), X0.1 (0-.5 r/hr, X1 (0-5 r/hr), X10
(0-50 r/hr), X100 (0-500 r/hr)
• Unaffected by EMP (electro magnetic pulse), a phenomenon created by an atomic detonation which renders most electrical systems inoperative
• Ruggedized, Sealed meter is watertight, and resists shock and vibration damage
• Civil Defense Department instrument issued for civilian use during and after nuclear attack or reactor meltdown
• Operates on standard D-Cell batteries (not included)
• Operates for over 150 hours continuous, much longer if used intermittently
• Manufactured in the early 1960's
• Handheld unit designed to be used by persons entering a suspected contaminated area, so they are informed about the level of radiation in that location
• How many of your survivalist buddies have a Radiation Detector?

These units are in good condition, and as such, we assume them to be working, however, we do not warrant their functionality, accuracy or performance in a gamma or beta environment, or otherwise. In the unlikely event that a maintenance issue would occur, the manual (reprint-included with unit) has a rather extensive troubleshooting and corrective maintenance section, including repair and replacement of resistors, diodes, etc.
