From just one meter, variable transformer and oscilloscope, to full bench with wave generator, self made capacitor bank, "universal" counter, and all types of Unitra Nixie Multimeters. All from 70's and 80's. Even the camera is from that years and still works great.

This modification kit, paired with a Mk.1 scintillation probe has given my old CDV 700 which previously was not functioning due the high voltage circuit issue new life. I thought about repairing it, but then thinking about the cost and time involved in that an upgrade sounded like the best option, and it makes the unit way more sensitive to gamma radiation than the old Geiger counter was. The fact that it’s Arduino based also allows for further tweaking. It’s an understatement to say that I am quite happy with the unit, I’m actually very excited about it. It works extremely well and Nick at RadView has been very helpful throughout the process of upgrading my CD V-700 answering questions that I had on his discord support forum. I’m not receiving any compensation I am just a customer that wants to see him succeed at making innovative, useful radiation detection products. He makes other things as well including the alpha hound. Check out his website below. I also made a short video of my modification.
