I love to turn on my 19 sets, turn off the lights, listen to the dynamotor hum, and watch the dials glow.
I'm still alive.

19 sets had radium in the lettering on the face and the glass beads at the tips of the toggle switches. 29 A sets had the entire dial wheels coated so is a little more potent. If you look at the two windows on the face of this set you'll see the orange/brown radium paint. The dials were originally white but time has caused them to react and change colour.
