@Retired Tech - so there is no active source of radiation unless the things is actually plugged in and powered on, if I understand you?

That's a relief.
These could be old x-rays. The uppermost one has the typical rounded corners of the old films that were hand-processed. Also, old x-rays do smell like vinegar.
I love it when you photograph old x-ray machines. I worked on a similar machine when I was in training in the late 1970's.
That IS an old fluoroscopy machine. Not "dangerous" unless activated by (hopefully) a registered technologist. Can safely be taken apart (as long as it is unplugged) because it does not have a radiation source. This is a diagnostic x-ray machine not a radiation therapy machine. Drs and techs alike received high doses just from working in the exam rooms from scatter radiation (like I did in the 1980"s) --- although this machine is older.
