    combined shipping saves shipping costs.)
    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.
