@Hawaiikook808 I have got to the point now if I see something interesting on eBay I check cousinsuk etc. for new prices as a lot of stuff is often posted for more than new for some strange reason. Tom -
Sometimes you can see a burn mark on the dial from hands that have stayed in one place for decades, which is a clincher, but I don't really see that here. An inexpensive detector could let you know for sure, but considering the dial/hand style and the darkened condition of the dots on the dial in the absence of any clear water damage, I'd give 90% likelihood that there is radium there. Tritium is usually marked out on the dial, and although it moves to yellow and tan as it ages, it doesn't get as "toasty" as those dial spots based on what I've seen. -

OH, I don't need help. The pinion works fine and so I am happy with the result. This is just my 'shy' way to bragg with what I have done... And to show that it is possible to make such parts with self made tools and devices in domestic conditions -
