About the radium, it burns the paint after some time, and even in the very dark, the glow might not be seen. However, under a microscope, occasional blue flashes can be seen even if the paint is dead. Geiger's better though. The rules in general are don't take it apart, don't scrape off the pait or make dust of it (inhalation). If one is broken, you can double ziploc bag it and throw it in the trash, handwashing, etc. There is a thread on this elsewhere.
