Radiation would be the last thing I'd be worrying about in one of those. But,

Its based upon the radiated phosphorus lettering in the instruments. An old
watch would not have been a whole lot better.
The whole radiation thing is out of control, humans are subjected to all
kinds of radiation on a daily basis.

HA,
I was trawling through some aviation museums in Europe and noticed that there
is a health warning on some cockpits. For example, I think the aircraft
preservation people in the UK are only allowed 10 minutes exposure in some
cockpits like Blaniks due to the radiation from the primitive instruments. Same
story in Lancaster bombers.
I guess that is probably as long as you would want to spend in a Blanik
cockpit, but it does question the sense in "restoring" them.
