FW: <VV> government corvairs/geiger counters

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

Lon, They can be a kind of a pain in the butt to maintain. Yes I am the 
kind 
of freak who has a working geiger counter.

My buddy bought the crazy atomic corvair.  The PO was a loon, thats why it 
was welded up in a garage.
Ill give it a buzz with the counter for kicks, but I am sure it is clean!
