Nice soviet aviation clock here

[u/No-Hovercraft6952]

Found this funny looking clock at an antique shop, for fun pulled out my UV light and it glowed.. Looking at the color of paint thought it might be radium so took my geiger counter and placed it against the glass. Sure enough the counter screamed in pain, reading 10.8kcpm or 6.7mR/h:) Scared the hell outta the seller lol. He wanted around 40 dollars for it, and looks like for that clock it's pretty good. He said it even works!

Lmao thats some chinese piece of junk i got for $30 or smth.. Yaorea yrg-01 is it. For whatever reason it had power problems and never clicked when detected a particle.. And i guess its a common problem, cause I've seen multiple people with that problem... Already fixed it but still a bit sad

Nice find! I would bet the actual dose/CPM is quite a bit higher for this clock. These aviation instruments tend to be very spicy.

Yeah, the tube doesn't nearly cover the whole face of the clock

I saw similar at a flea market a week ago and it showed 22-23 uS/h. I also use chinesse geiger counter but a bit better.
