Hi,
When I start my GMC-500, it displays anything, jumps from 5CPM to 4800CPM and to 2850CPM.....and this without stopping, it seems to be broken, it has been a long time since I used it.

try to do a factory reset. If still does not work, tube may need to be replaced with m4011 / j321

Hi,
I changed the tube but I couldn't find a black tube, it seems to work well, I tried the old tube on another Geiger counter and it works, I didn't make any comparative measurements but the gas is inside otherwise it wouldn't work. Strange.........

you can use a black shrink wrap instead. or check for light sensitivity if you need to do it.
