Geiger Counters For Sale

We offer a variety of Geiger Counters for sale below. Geiger Counters were distributed during the Cold War era to civilian bomb shelters and fallout shelters to detect radiation. Much of our customer feedback has indicated that some of the Geiger Counters we offer do function, or can be easily repaired to function as originally intended. While Coleman's does distinguish between Geiger Counters that we have tested the circuit and those we have not, we do not guarantee the functionality of these vintage Geiger counters and radiation detectors.
