This early electroshock unit came from a VA hospital and is serial # 2540 . The unit dates from the late 50’s and comes in a small metal case for easy transport and treatment of the patient. The older models with the crude and direct voltage are a bit terrifying. This piece turns on and fires up when treatment is engaged but has not been used for many years-Has a last serviced tag from 1983. A great medical collectible to add to your objects archive but under no circumstances test this on anyone—this is to be used as a collectible / research object. This unit does not come with the original electrodes and the ones pictured are for demonstration only. Head shown is not included but available to compliment unit —sold separetly. Measures: 11 3/4” x 6” x 5” Normal age old wear on case.

Fun fact —this was the type of unit used in ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest’ when they administer electro shock therapy to Jack Nickelson. Clip is shown below.
