X-ray tubes contain beryllium that is a safety hazard IF BROKEN. Also exercise ionizing radiation safety shielding precautions if energizing the tube.

Yup. In a damped transport case. Two cooling pipes on Tungsten target. No discoloration/blackening, looks unused.

I passed on it, just not worth the hassle. Did get a full case of new Nixie tubes though.
Thanks for all the info!
