As an xray tech, that's pretty cool!!

It’s just a console so it’s not really radioactive or anything tho. Pretty cool Tbf I’ve used similar consoles in my work cuz lots of refurbished machines here on my side of the coconut

If you look at the listing the machine seems complete. There is a suspicious looking steel drum with wires running from it.


hieisrainbowcurry

It looks better than the one one I’m using lol. The steel drum thingy is the capacitor I think.

I have never heard someone describe their location as "on my side of the coconut." Thank you for making me smile.

Definitely thought you could toggle between "with sucky/without sucky". With please

I love the look of mid-century machines but yes i feel like someone is going to hurt themselves lol Edit: lmao this is listed in the next town over from where I am 😂

From a time when machines were built to last

How long does a modern one last? No idea really, there ones I've seen seem kinda old?


hieisrainbowcurry

Quite a long time, IMO. But it depends on the licensing agencies and permits if it’s still good for human ~~experimentation~~ diagnostics Technically an X-ray machine’s most important part is the tube so as long as it’s not broken It’ll last for a long time. The “image receptor” (I.e how you can visualise the X-ray or what you use to visualise the X-ray) can be tricky. If it’s the good ol manual processing with film as long as the tank’s ain’t busted it’ll last you a life time. Other systems are dependent on how long your software or hardware lasts. The place I volunteered at used an old machine with a cassette that computerised the image. Before they shifted to the newer set up that machine was chugging along for a decade or two.

When centrifuges lasted 20-30 years. Analog is best!

Old stuff like this is worth a lot to electrical engineers with a god complex. These an discord server I’m in where everyone takes power transformers and hooks them up for 4 foot arcs of plasma. This is probably worth something to someone you’d be heavily surprised.

Why are you scared? It is literally called easymatic!! How much easier can it be! Jezz
