Man I sure want this machine. Especially the tube and collimator unit, as they don't make them like this anymore. Is the power supply still there, and what about the film processing unit? Is it a kodak or fischer. I just started learning how to repair x ray machines within the last yr, and they are a very simple machine, you just have to be careful with the high voltage anode and cathode ends.
I'll take this machine. Sure is a waste, as there are many private hospitals stuggling to make ends meet, and need new equipment. This could go to some facility thats in need.
Brunswick is so CRAP! I have worked in a bowling alley once yrs back, and everyday I was repairing the Brunswick pinsetters, if there was one day that went by and I did not have to make any repairs well i would almost shit my pants LOL. I begged them to get new equipment made by AMF which is by far so much better then Brunswick

This is a photo of a Machlett tube. Machlett has since gone under and now the tubes are made by Varian, Dunlee and Toshiba. You can tell by the highly textured finish and the shape of the federal connector ports. They used to build these in Connecticut and Massachusetts when Machlett was owned by Raytheon
Transworld when under about 10 years ago or so... It certainly isn't an old machine (less than 25 years) and there are new machines that are still being built that look like this today. This system likely has 3 receptors (places where to point the x-ray tube to) a wall stand(aka a wall bucky) a table bucky and a table top (non-bucky)
