CDV700 Geiger Counter


Posted on Aug 26, 2012

This project involves making several modification to an early 1960s era Victoreen CDV700 or CDV600-6B geiger counter. These counters are available on E-Bay for around $50 to $100. The modifications use modern electronic parts to improve the counter`s stability, extend the run time, and add a solar recharging capability.
