Equipment DP-2 meter testing after repair

Recently repaired it by replacing the internal ЕМ-4 vacuum tube which had exploded somehow, glad that was the only problem with it. These meters are easy to excite if you place an americium button practically inside the ionization chamber. I don’t recommend it though you can be electrocuted.

Did you check for internal contamination from the check source?

I measured no contamination within the dosimeter and it was acquired without the source
