If its just the heads they could be worth more for the lead in them !


What lead? This is the aluminum waveguide & tube part.

What about the high voltage leads? seems like that would be pretty
handy for various hi-voltage projects, but I haven't seen anything
like defunct medical x-ray stuff at the local scrap yard for many
years. I'd like to get 10 or 20 feet of that HV cable to go on a tree
root zapper.

The lead is

part of the moving arm and holds the X ray assembly. They still weigh
about 5o pounds each for the smaller pair. I didn't know it was legal
to dispose of these outside the medical electronics industry.

It's not, the Dept. of HHS supposedly tracks all medical and dental x-
ray tubes through out their life.

I would

think they would be rebuilt, like all the other types.

There were no cables with these assemblies.

These were still in the boxes & packing material. The only date I
found on any of them was 1977.
