Mystery Object

Looks like one of those mythical weapons of mass destruction that Sadaam Hussein was building.

One of the people who have commented on it in had the following to say.
DO NOT OPEN THE BOX.


RADIACs contain a radioactive source which can contaminate you and give you cancer. The source is shielded but I would advise you not to tinker with the internals of this device.


Nice to know that they are selling potentially lethal stuff at auction. Chances are that it is a timing device, most of them use Cadmium or Radium decay to produce timing.

Yikes. I was just kidding about the WMD. Sounds like these devices could be mis-used with some serious consequences.

DO NOT OPEN!!!!! Well, this kind of thing is really interesting to me, I love to dig around in old "stuff" and find out where, why, when, etc.. here are a couple of interesting web pages about the "thingy's" makers 1.) http://www.abovetopsecret.com/pages/egg.html 2.) www.dtra.mil/toolbox/directorates/ td/programs/nuclear_personnel/docs/DNA6030F.pdf, I will let you know if I find out anything more specific.
