Anybody have any "Medical" devices in the attic?
Ever look at how they work?
I used to have a Diathermy machine and a weird high voltage stimulator that used gas filled tubes.
I worked at a hospital and dealt with "Real" equipment but I'm still amazed at what oddball stuff will sell....
I have a couple of Tens devices and never gave them much thought. Never used them either....
Then this thing...
I have this Relax-A-Cizor that I had to open up and have a look at.
The lower section still has the pads so I guess thats off to the trash.....
I opened it up to have a quick look. When I have time I want to put it on the bench and have a look at the output on a scope. While I'm at it I have to try a couple of the new Tens units on the scope. Didn't expect to see tubes. and even branded relax-a-cizor tubes...
Really weird how they use a motor to drive a cam to pulse the outputs. Then again thats how the Old Mercury Cougar sequential tail lights worked so I guess is period correct.....
Simple output controls...
Nothing looks to bad so time to put it on a Variac and see what happens...
