X-ray unit tank circuit



This thing is heavy!



Cracked it! No wonder its heavy, the transformer is mounted under the lid.



Yummy transformer oil.

The underside. Big transformer. Go on, study those windings? I think I see one fault, the tube broken off from transformer winding the inductor. Everything is brittle, looks like it got slightly warm at one point.



25M resistors can be seen, with a HV filament transformer in the foreground







Overall underside view.

Only fascinating!

Would those capacitors have been a 'standard' (albeit very expensive) part, or would they have been custom-made for these x-ray machines?
