    Description

    College of Electronic Medicine Short Wave Oscilloclast Radioclast. Condition is "Used".
    Vintage Quack medicine radioclast
    This unit powers on - both tube windows emit a soft glow when you turn it on
    The unit contains two heavy metal depolarizer electrodes - these plug into the front of the unit with their own three prong plug (one of the depolarizers needs the plug repaired - see pic).
    THE TEST: The depolorarizer hums and vibrates slightly when you turn the power on.  -  The 0 through 10 buttons are indexed (see chart in the manual) with each numbered button corresponding to a different medical condition the unit is supposed to cure.
    The unit also contsins two flat plate electrodes which plug in with old style Audio jacks - and an ear piece that also jacks in for the therapist to (listen?) To the treatment. The original 1947 manual, instruction pamphlet and associated papers are included.
    The manual shows where the depolarizers need to be placed on the human body - what it supposedly does to cure you, and treatment schedules.
    The timer turns but sticks and sometimes doesn't count down - the bell rings when the timer hits zero. As this is about 74 years old, the leather covering on the unit is losing some adhesive on the bottom (see pic). There is no power cord, i tested it with an extension cord - and any regular extension should fit.
    This is a rare find - especially for a unit that is 90% complete and has some tested functionality.
    From the internet about the inventor / Quack who initially created these:
    Albert Abrams
    (December 8, 1863 – January 13, 1924) was a controversial American physican well known during his life for inventing machines, such as the "Oscilloclast" and the "Radioclast", which he falsely claimed could diagnose and cure almost any disease. These claims were challenged from the outset. Towards the end of his life, and again shortly after his death, many of his machines and conclusions were demonstrated to be intentionally deceptive or false.
