haha, good joke for XRF people!
An incandescent bulb is a rich source of XRF-able elements. In yours I see copper, maybe zinc (in the brass), tin, lead

Not sure what it was originally used with. But I have a few power supplies
around here. Several of the Glassman but they are -50kV as set up now.
Not sure how fine the control on those is but intend

What does the HV plug in to? They don¡¯t show the end of the connector. What power supply does it use. Looks good enough to dose yourself with. It would be be nice with a CdTe or HPGe detector for

Yes! There was a chinese seller trying to pawn off one XR-100 I think,
with a broken Be window. I offered him $50, noting that it is almost
worthless. He declined.

Several MCA8000A versions are showing up on eBay.
It should be understood that these are not complete MCAs, like a Spectrum Techniques UCS-20/30 or an URSA2.

The current production DP5-PC5 and matching Si-PIN/preamp DO run at 170-180V.
BUT- here's a caveat on the Si-PIN HV setting on older units. From a 2003 Amptek manual when all they had were the PX2
