VINTAGE COLD WAR DP-66 GEIGER COUNTER DEDECTOR VERY LOW STOCKS!!! The Polish-made DP-66 was one of the Warsaw Pact's most successful Geiger Counters of the Cold War era; in effect it was the Eastern Bloc's equivalent of the US CDV-700, but with a lot more useful features.DP-66s are becoming increasingly rare, and some of the ones you might come across are often in a poor state, badly maintained and are often completely non-functional. 

It is in excellent condition. What makes it really special, is that it comes complete with its original leather carry case and straps, a tough as old boots wooden storage box, supplied documents (in Polish and when available), and a complete set of original accessories, and a modern audio upgrade module - more on those in a moment. But first the basics. Inside the hand-held probe there are three Geiger tubes, sensitive to a wide range of Beta, Gamma and X-Ray radiation. Measurements are shown in counts per minute (0 - 10,000 cpm) Roentgens/milli Roentgens per hour (0.5mR/h - 200R/h in 6 ranges). The probe is fitted with a rotating Beta Shield and the instrument is powered by a pair of standard D cells, which keeps it running for 60 hours or more. Although the control labelling and documents are in Polish* it is incredibly easy to use. For the record the rotary switch has 8 positions for Power Off (W) Battery Check (K) plus the 6 operating ranges. The only other controls are two buttons for the luminous meter's backlight and zeroing the meter, plus a small knob for zeroing the quartz fibre pen dosimeter (also included) when it is inserted into the top panel socket. There is a two-pin socket on the side of the instrument. This is for the earphone (supplied) so you can hear the 'clicks'.

DP-66s are now over 40 years old and the ones we have almost certainly spent most of that time in storage. There are some signs of light use but it's nothing serious and such wear and tear as there is, is mostly confined to the storage box, which has clearly done a brilliant job of protecting it. The leather case is also in great condition and has a few discoloured patches but again it has kept the actual instrument looking almost like new.
