[Rockhounds] Radiac --> response slightly OT

[Jeffrey T. Cessna]

Armando, Dave,

This doesn't directly answer your question, but seeing the website 
you reference I thought you might be interested in this site...

http://www.orau.org/ptp/museumdirectory.htm

I don't know if the curator makes any attempt to keep the instruments 
in operating condition, but you might ask. He is a very friendly and 
interesting person.

You might also look here ...

The Health Physics Society has a lot of people that would probably 
know the answer to your question, but I don't know how to get in 
contact with the correct person.

Good Luck.

Jeff
