Seller: inanutshellantiques ✉️ (1,941) 100%, Location: Newton Abbot, GB, Ships to: GB & many other countries, Item: 332787264527 Rare Antique Victorian Electric Shock Therapy Machine With Indicator Dial. Antique Electric Shock Therapy Machine  Circa 1880   Fantastic electric shock machine dating from the Victorian Era, contained in its original wooden box with a rare intensity dial. There is a wooden winding handle which attaches to the front of the box and turns the coil and wheel inside and a large magnet in the box which induces the current. On each side of the box are terminals where the probes would be connected. What makes this particular machine special is the raised dial on top of the box. It is housed in a brass mount, covered with bevelled glass. The paper dial reads the intensity and there is a metal indicator which is connected to the machine to measures the current being generated.    Approximate Measurements : Length of Box : 10" (26cm) Height : 5" (13cm) Depth : 4 1/2" (12cm)   I have not attempted to test the machine as far as whether it generates a shock (!) and it is being sold as seen. However I can confirm that all parts appear to move as they should.   It is in good condition for its age and displays beautifully. It has been cleaned and lightly polished and the box has been given a light wax to retain its aged patina. The paper dial has stained over time but it is still easy to read. The box has suffered some damages and repairs over its life. There are various marks and small knocks and an old split running around the back but it is strong and sturdy and still displays very well.   The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions at all please ask.
