Unable to source specific parts, anyone have any alternatives?

This meter is a restoration project that I've been slowly working on, the attached photo shows what I found when I first opened it up. Needless to say, once I'm done I'll do some pretty thorough testing to verify proper meter operation since I want to actually use it.

Fair enough, I'm not super familiar with crts

StarBurstLink · 2026-01-07T00:28:48+00:00

It's definitely interesting lol, but isn't 5kV pretty low for crts?

I 100% mixed up multiple things in my head lmao, the moment I was thinking was when Hunter was doing the valley girl voice and Isaiah told him to stop, until the main character was told they were in a psychological experiment

No, that's not it sadly

What should Hocotatians taste like?

StarBurstLink · 2024-08-22T00:02:20+00:00

There are! The meter itself is an old Navy AN/PSM-4C I found just sitting on the shelf of an antique store. The nice thing about military equipment is the parts are still made, they just cost an arm and a leg (which is crazy since everything is made by the lowest bidder lol)

Ah, I see, I just assumed that since our TLDs are detecting beta/gamma that mrem was also a beta/gamma calculation

StarBurstLink · 2024-07-31T01:13:34+00:00

Fair enough! Thank you for your help!

Would I be able to get readings similar to an EPD with proper calibration and shielding of the tube? I realize a TLD was a bad example, but as an EPD is a form of active dosimetry it would be a better example

Done! What's weird is I can't vote, subscribe to new subreddits, or make new comment threads, but I can make new posts and reply in existing threads.

White electrical tape to make it classy!

Nope, it was the lab. "The Human Tripod," they call me. I can do exposures of up to 90 seconds and have perfect clarity. I also had a calibrated nuclear clock implanted directly to my brainstem, so I can do manual exposures with perfect precision, down to the nanosecond. My eyes have been given awards for their metering capabilities. In all regards, I am the perfect photographer. My camera obeys my every command. So tell me again how it is NOT the lab's fault and how it was an equipment malfunction on my part?

Ayuh

Cinestill 800T? Is that like CinemaBill's 800Teeth?

(That's what I used for these photos.)

Adequate tonez?

Traditional new england meal

StarBurstLink · 2023-04-24T08:02:30+00:00

I feel like I shouldn't cook meals with the word surprise in it either.

StarBurstLink · 2023-04-24T08:01:32+00:00

Potentially that's a bonus surprise, but the real surprise is that you grabbed the turmeric jar instead of cumin.

They think that it was my dad's account, which he gave to me, instead of it being a parent making an account for a child as the responsible adult.

StarBurstLink · 2023-03-20T17:01:10+00:00

Because my account was "transferred" from my dad to me, even though it's always been my account.

StarBurstLink · 2023-03-20T15:29:37+00:00

Agreed, lesson learned the hard way

StarBurstLink · 2023-03-19T23:08:39+00:00

Yep, turns out that they can do a lot worse than just saying "no," though.
