PLASTIC ALTITUDE-
RESISTANT CASE FOR
GEIGER COUNTER
STANDARD PANCAKE
44-9 PROBE;
Made in Michigan USA
Support American manufacturing!
This sturdy probe-case can protect
pancake probes of these popular
brands: BICRON / EBERLINE /
JOHNSON / TECHNICAL
ASSOCIATES / LUDLUM.
The cannister is made of ABS plastic,
the same material from which sturdy
LEGO building blocks are made. Internal
cushioning material is included at both
interior ends of the cannister.
STANDARD PANCAKE PROBES, such as Ludlum
44-9, Bicron PGM, Eberline HP-260, or Johnson
HP-265, are popular among geiger enthusiasts, due
to their high sensitivity and excellent signal-to-
noise ratio. But they are fragile in use, because
their thin-mica membrane is easily burst by
punctures (cactus, thorns, burrs, insect stings,
rough handling, etc.) They are also fragile at
high altitudes above 8,000 ft., because of the
damaging effects of thin air at high altitude.
The LND # 7311 sensor is expensive to replace:
0.00 ordered factory-direct. I have lost
FIVE of these # 7311 sensors in the past four
years: two while uranium prospecting at Poison
Canyon NM (6500 ft elevation during 100 degree
dry summer heat), two sensors were lost because
USPS shipped by air rather than ground, and one
was lost while fitting a new sensor into a pancake.
With its neoprene-rubber gasket, this canister
casing can resist the air pressure changes that
are damaging to pancake probes or end-window
probes. The canister length is 14", and the
matching red cap can contain a 3ft geiger
cable. The rubber gasket will be coated with
petroleum jelly to strengthen the airtight
fit. The canister must be opened SLOWLY
during five seconds, so that air pressure
inside and outside can be equalized safely.
The black rubber gasket is a vital feature
to protect your pancake probe against
sudden air-
pressure changes while
being transported
at high elevation!
If astronauts carried pancake probes on
space flights, the probes would definitely
be housed in these protective canisters.
CANISTER PROTECTS PANCAKE
DURING PROSPECTING
AT URANIUM FIELDS
I have collected hot rocks at
many varied uranium fields, where
rocks vary in size from small pebbles
to large heavy boulders. Stumbles or
falls are frequent. At these sites, the
fragile probe is sometimes dropped,
and damage to the instrument can
happen. This protective canister
will safeguard the probe when used
at those risky remote locations.
LIMITED LIABILITY IN
CASE OF PROBE DAMAGE
You, the user, must assess whether
this canister is suitable for your geiger
probe's protection. It can be returned
for refund anytime during the first sixty
days for refund (Shipping costs are NOT
refunded.) Refund will be limited to the
.00 cost of the canister. Consequential
damage, such as bursting of the geiger
sensor membrane, is NOT covered
by my limited warranty.
COMBINED SHIPPING OF
SEVERAL CANISTERS = SAVINGS
Up to three of the canisters can be
shipped together in a large long
priority flat-rate box. I will refund
any overpayment on total shipping costs,
after the shipment has been mailed.
.00 plus .35 shipping
SIXTY DAY MONEY-BACK
SATISFACTION WARRANTY
Try this probe-canister for up to
sixty days. If dissatisfied for any
reason, then mail them it back and
I will refund the .00 paid. If
returned for refund, the canister must
be in the same intact condition as
when it was received. If returned,
buyer must pay all shipping costs.
SMALL BAG OF NATURAL
URANIUM ROCKS ENCLOSED
To stimulate your geiger counter
instrument, a small bag (2.5 oz) of
assorted natural uranium rocks will
be enclosed. These rocks have various
activity levels: low / middle /upper.
The rocks must remain sealed
inside their clear poly double bag.
The rocks are available ONLY for domestic
USA shipments; USPS and NRC regulations
forbid the export of U.S. uranium
to any foreign addresses.
BROWN LUDLUM 44-9 GEIGER
PROBE SEEN IN PHOTOS
IS
NOT INCLUDED.
The brown-colored Ludlum 44-9
pancake probe, shown in photos, is
NOT INCLUDED. You will receive
only the plastic
canister case and the
small 2.5 oz. bag of uranium rocks.
GROUND-SHIPPING STICKERS
ENCLOSED WITH CANISTER
If transported with a probe enclosed,
the canister must be sent via ground-
surface shipping, for extra protection of
the sensor's membrane. Six "ground-
shipping" stickers will be enclosed
for the buyer's later use.
THE CANISTER WILL FIT ONLY
STANDARD PANCAKE PROBES,
NOT THE P3 LARGE PANCAKE.
The P3 large pancake probe, with
its 150% superior sensitivity to
radiation, is INCOMPATIBLE with
this plastic canister, because of its
large size and square shape.
.00 plus .35 shipping
SHIPPING COST: ONLY
THE ACTUAL POSTAGE!
Some Ebay sellers conceal the actual postage
cost; I have the software print the postage cost
at the top of the shipping label. If the actual
postage cost is {{detail_product_description}}.40 or more below what you paid,
I will fully refund the amount overpaid to your
PayPal account, as soon as the package is mailed.
