BTW, I found four high power GE X Ray heads yesterday. They use
about 100 KV DC to power them. Heavy *******s, with cooling fans. I
wonder if the store has any idea what they are really work, or just
how dangerous?

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.
