Cannot buy Geiger Counter Kit anymore!!

Hi y'all.

I watched Jeri Elsworths' 'Playing with Lava - Dumb and Dangerous?' on YouTube, and she mentioned Jeff Keyzer's Geiger Counter.

I went to the MightyOhn.com site and wanted to order one, only to learn that they are not available anymore!!

That's a bummer, because I really want one!!

Does anyone know when the next batch will arrive?? (Jeff, are you there??).

Or someone has one kit for spare, and want to sell it.
I would be even VERY happy with only a PCB of it.


Send me a PM (or a reply on this forum) if you can help me out.

Thanks!!

Hi Robbert!

Yes, it is true that I am totally out of stock on Geiger counter kits right now, and I'm not sure when I'll have more.

However, there are still plenty of kits available! You can order from any one of my distributors, both in the US and Europe:

I might have more kits for sale on my site in the next few weeks, but the problem is that my distributors are ordering kits as fast as I can make them! I recommend ordering from one of them if you don't feel like waiting!

It IS a VALID number, using it every day for intl. transactions, but the Hackables don't seem to get it right... heh heh
Have sent them an email, hopefully they can help me out soon..

Your surname sounds VERY DUTCH!!
Do you have a percentage of european blood running in your systems??

Cheers Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Well, I just skipped filling out the VAT number and it went OK.

Never goto a reply from that folks on why a-n-y VAT numbe doesn't work on their order form.

Hope that their delivery service is better, because I really want that Geiger unit.


BTW: are you expecting more Geiger kits soon??

Our web team told me that we are actually using an external service's API to validate VAT numbers (to check whether they really exists, and not to only check they match a format). Sadly, it seems that this external service was down at the time you entered your VAT number.
