In 1955, the Nucliometer Model DR-299 was introduced as the most versatile uranium detector ever built. It was advertised as the pinnacle of uranium detection technology, with advanced capabilities such as detecting deep-hidden ore and a weight of just 9.5 lbs. One of its readout options included a sample holder for measuring percent uranium ore, making it a valuable tool for uranium mining. Its sensitivity was even greater than a 1.5" x 1" sodium iodide scintillation crystal. The price for this cutting-edge device was $545 IN 1955, which included the probe, specimen holder, radium calibration source, and leather case. With its 25 Victoreen geiger tubes and a detector area of 42 square inches, the Model DR-299 surely lived up to its reputation. Its internal scintillation counter boasted a sensitivity range of 0.01-0.1 mR/h, while its external GM probe could detect levels of 0.2. This item is being sold for purely collectable reasons. Would be perfect for museum or any collector. This unit is rare to find for sale.
