And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

I built one in High School in the Mid-'50s for a physics class project. Found the plans in either a Popular Mechanics or Popular science. I got the workings at a local radio components store and I actually got a very small sample of low-grade radio-active material to demo the Geiger counter from some Chemical company. They sent it through the USPS.
Me too. Medal case, fold open with small glass containers that held small amounts of great chemicals like Sulphur and Potassium Nitrate . I think it even had a vial with some Mercury. Once I got my hands on the alcohol fueled Bunsen burner the house never smelled the same again.
Everyone should ahve 3....2 high range and 2 low range.
