We've got a couple of cases of these meters along with some others.

 

These older units could be fodder for debating their usefulness but I would like to have some indication if there are zoomies around as a guy I know who served on a nuclear missile sub calls radiation.

These guys recalibrated one of my CDV 717 Calibration Service for Civil Defense Radiation Detection Survey Meters, Geiger Counters & Dosimeters
I will add the 717 manual.

The CD V-717 has a removable bottom with a 25 foot extension cable. The detector element (ion-chamber) is mounted inside the removable bottom. This allows for the placement of the detector element outside of the shelter area while the metering section of the metering unit would remain inside of the shelter area connected to the detector with the 25 foot cable. The CD V-717 originally had to be specially requested in addition to the other instruments (CD V-700, CD V-715 etc) for issue to use in fallout monitoring stations. The yellow bag is to protect the case bottom from the weather when it is placed outside the shelter area. Victoreen was the only manufacturer of the CD V-717.
