Check current Haines catalogue page 70.
A bit pricey - who's paying for this mistake.
Please tell us how it happened!!

Look around the different suppliers. I remember there being a difference in price between companies when I was looking a couple of years ago. It works out cheaper to buy the sets rather than individual sources. I'm sorry I don't remember where was cheapest...

Re: radioactive sources....I got rid of mine to melb uni.Chaps came up and tested them (they had lost their radioactivity to a point and contaminated the lead wrapping). Now we have a new geiger and use an old smoke alarm for a scource.(And whatever the physic teacher comes up with).
