THE OSCILLOCLAST OF DR. ALBERT ABRAMS |
|||||||||||
![]() |
Item #97: The Oscilloclast of Dr. Abrams; Wood box 15" x 6" x 5",
Bakelite top; 3 decade resistors, the wipers connect to terminal
posts; AC line cord connects one side to each of the decade switches,
the other side of the line goes to a light bulb and a push switch
that shorts its plunger to the AC line. In treatment the patient was wired to the oscilloclast and seated in a chair. The patient was insulated from the surroundings with his feet resting on upturned drinking glasses - a good thing, otherwise the patient would likely be electrocuted by the workings of this box. The threat of electrocution may have led to the development of the much safer Micro-Oscilloclast, a box that connected to not much of anything at all. $350 |

Purchasers of Dr. Abrams boxes were made to sign a paper wherein they agreed not to open the box and peer inside. However, the top plate is secured with a few wood screws that easily unscrew to reveal only the three decade resistors, filled in with pitch, and some poorly done wiring. | ||||||||||

None genuine without the plaque - one had to look out for the unscrupulous who sold unauthorized clones. |
