A guy on the Antique radio group collects quack medical devices, so

It wasn't all quackery. Medical vibrators probably did a lot of good for
the mental health of Victorian ladies.
The raw UV emitted by crude lamps didn't cure cancer, migraines or
anything else. If anything, they likely caused skin cancer. There are
people who collect quack equipment for a hobby. One is on the antique
radio newsgroup.

the bloodstream
It's a good thing it doesn't work or multiple blood clots would kill.

Sounds like you had to get quite a lot done including sourcing the
transformers and adding fuses.. Was this an expensive repair? Though I
suppose, provided the cost was under the 160 notes charged by the
manufacturers for shipping, then its owners would have been happy.
Plus your mod would ensure future reliability - making the thing even
more so than when it left the factory!

Oh God, please tell me you're not a Daily mail reader. In my
experience, people who go on about the supposed 'PC brigade' (whoever
they are) usually belong to the lunatic right, frothing at the mouth
about their own myths like 'winterval' or whatever. But I
digress...Happy new year!

Weeeellll ... I do read the MoS, but not the Daily one. It did used to have
some fairly good political comment from the likes of William Rees-Mogg, but
for some unknown reason, they have recently dropped his column, which I
think is a sad loss to the overall content balance of the paper. It seems to
be dumbing down now almost by the week, and I think that is in no small part
due to them wishing to accommodate all of the News of the World readers that
they've picked up from that paper's demise. The letters page is now a
travesty compared to what it was, and I can't understand why they even keep
taking copy from some of the contributors. There's a couple of them that
write such drivel every week, it's hard to make sense of the content in its
own right sometimes, and even more so when it doesn't even make grammatical
sense. I think that soon, I will probably cease wasting my money to buy it,
but the thing is, I do enjoy a relaxing read of a Sunday paper, and it's
getting hard to find one that has a good balance of reliable reporting,
whilst remaining entertaining to read. Not everyone who reads the Mail is a
member of 'The Lunatic Right'. Yes, I will admit to having a right-wise
leaning, but I wouldn't count myself as a mouth-frother, any more than
left-leaners in this country, who actually have just as many mouth-frothers
among their numbers ... :-)
