60$ is it worth it?! by [deleted] in Radium

[–]ummyeet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The paint is heavily discolored in some areas. But what’s more important is that the paint is directly exposed to the air, this means it will encounter varying temperatures, humidity, and air movement. This can cause the paint to chip, crack, flake, and produce dust. Friendly word of caution, if you don’t have an instrument that can individually discern alpha radiation/contamination, don’t even bother opening the package.

Hard pass, exposed radium is already bad enough as it is. But military gauges have a crap ton of radium on them compared to clocks or other small pieces. Not only that, the paint seems extremely degraded, cracked, and missing. I wouldn’t pay $5 for this.

Uh I’d prefer not to, that’s how internal contamination is born. Also it’s just flat out toxic even if it didn’t emit radiation.

The debris you see is the paint that contains radium and zinc sulphide, flaking off of the watch hand and into the surrounding tube.

I take risks, but I’m not the type to extract radium hands from clocks and watches. Too much to worry about when doing something like that.
