Perhaps you may know of a supplier or have an old geiger counter that you
may wish to dispose of?

Once upon a time I recall the type CK1026 GM tube. This was about the
size of a 50C5 tube, but with a single pin and an aquadag coating on the
outside of the tube. This tube was used in a geiger counter project
that was in one of Alfred Morgan's 'boys books of radio and
electronics', either the 2nd or 3rd book. There were other types of GM
tubes made, but the CK1026 was one of the least expensive and was used
in many simple radiation detectors.
