1990 MICROWAVE LEAKAGE MONITOR Vintage MW-500 Radiation Hand Held Detector VtgThis is a vintage HAND HELD MICROWAVE LEAKAGE MONITOR!
Made of plastic, it has a Needle Gauge to determine if there is leakage of the radiation from a microwave.
It shows "SAFETY" numbers as a green bar from 0 to 1 and "CAUTION" numbers with a red bar from 1 to 2.7.
Microwaves became a staple in most homes sometime during the 1970s and it appears that radiation leakage was a concern. The 1990 date is an estimate based on internet research, it is not marked with a date.
A COOL TOOL for DISPLAY!
MODEL
: MW-500
MARKED
: Microwave Leakage Monitor
MATERIAL:
Plastic; top is a yellow, bottom is gray and gauge is clear.
CONDITION:
This handheld microwave leakage monitor is in pre-owned and vintage used condition. From 1990 or earlier, there are signs of wear in the plastic such as scratching and smudging. As far as testing, the needle DOES move, but when tested on a microwave the needle remained at 0 which could mean that the detector doesn't work OR the microwave used in the testing does not emit any radiation. Uncertain which one it is.
