@Huffdev Yes an no. A professionally calibrated CVD-700 is probably worth about 70 or 80 bucks bucks. Depending on the check sources it could be worth anywhere from another 10 to 150 dollars. Are they "homemade" sources made from uranium ore or something like that, or are they professional sources made by a company like spectrum techniques?
@jrbpyro101 And the CDV has no scratches on it at all and most of the electronics are replaced with new electronics and the needle is replaced with a steel needle but any way the sources are trinitite,piece if fiestware, and vaseline glass
@Huffdev you got fucked royally i got mine for 25 dollars and it came with 4 test sources for free and i have the ability to clibrate so that was free.
I'm thinking of getting a Geiger counter and I wanted to know if that was the cdv-700 and the cdv-750 dosimeter because I heard those are the best for around the house use and that stuff
@destrection The geiger counter in the video is the cdv-700 and the dosimeter itself is actually the cdv-742 dosimeter. The cdv-700 its wonderful for the beginner, its rugged, cheap, and will get the job done. In my personal opinion I wouldnt purchase the dosimeter unless you are going to put it in a collection because the average person shouldnt have to worry about their accumulated dose of radiation unless they have a large collection of radioactive materials.
Your a smart kid! I don't see that much these days! Great Job! I will be getting one of those CDV-700 anytime now. I already have a digital one, but I want to try something new and different. I have a quite a bit of radioactive materials I want to examine it with. Thanks For the demo! Keep up the good work! 5/5!
Yeah, I have a bunch of CDV-700's and most are Radium D + Radium E. I have found that only the Victoreen units have Depleted Uranium.
The funny thing is that in the CDV-700 manual they state that Radium D + Radium E has a half life of 22 years. Radium D (Pb-210) has a 22 year half life, and Radium E (Bi-210) has a half life of 5 days. Why include Radium E in the manual? By the time the unit even shipped from the factory the Radium E should have almost all decayed. Strange.
Hey cool kid I've got an electroneutronics cdv too, my model is 9345, got it at hanford Washington

I just ordered a ENI CDV 700 calibrated with headphones and the manual plus 3 test sources for $200 was that a good deal?

Where did you get your CDV-700?

what's the best, cheapest all in radiation detector?

next step is to build a silicone detector, do you have a spare piece of solar panel?
(calculator :D)

Oh I also forgot to ask what model that was if you knew because I don't get the model differentials other than more batteries

ENI CDV-700's do not use U-238 (Depleted Uranium), they use a Lead-210 and Bismuth-210 check source.

Yep, that's right. Mine have decayed down next to nothing.
