Rare Antique Nu-Klear Fallout Radiation Detector - Made by Minutemen Industries

Description

Nu-Klear Fallout Detector, described in the instructions as "a life saving device for the detection of radiation from fallout."  The body of the detector is a hermetically sealed clear plastic container (2.5" high and 3.75" diameter at the base). Inside is a clear central cylinder that contains about 40 small red plastic beads.  By shaking the unit, the plastic beads are given a static charge that causes them to rise up and attach to the inside of the cylinder.  Exposure to radiation ionizes the air inside the device and this reduces the charge on the beads. When they lose their charge, the beads slide down the wall to the bottom of the cylinder. The faster this occurs, the higher the radiation levels.

Condition is Used. It seems to be in very good condition for the age. It does not come with anything other than the detector pictured. There is no box and no paperwork included.
See pictures for actual physical condition.
This is being sold for a friend.  He states that it still seems to do as advertised. He shook it and the beads stayed suspended...he believes there was no fallout at the time of trying it.  Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.  Signature required at delivery.
