Seems like it was most likely made in late 86 or 87.  I'll see if there are 
any later date codes.

The power supply is interesting, opens like a book with board on one side 
and power transistors/heat-sink on the other.

I found a detector on ebay.  Will test it out when it gets here.
I'm not sure how they are driving the tubes since I don't see the usual 
driver chips.  I'll examine the board and see if I can figure out how 
they're doing it.
Also I have a video of the display.  Not a very good video but I'll take 
another when I have the detector.

Forgot to mention.  The big black plastic box on the first board contains 
the quartz crystal tube.

There are lots of geiger tubes for sale on eBay. If you could post a high 
res picture of the inside of the equipment probably some of us could help.
I am a big fan of geiger tubes (hey, they have gas inside !!!) and habe 
bought more than a couple from the ex-USSR.
