Make sure to check out all of my sales after you\'ve looked at this one. I\'m listing another outstanding assortment of mechanical, technological and musical antiques, and I suspect that there will be something of interest to just about everybody.Here\'s an ancient D &K Magneto Electric Machine. This is a working antique electrotherapy device manufactured in St. Louis, Missouri in the late 1800\'s. The magneto runs smoothly and generates enough voltage to produce a shock in whomever happens to be holding the brass handles. Voltage can be modulated with the knurled brass knob in the back of the cabinet (left side) that controls the proximity of the two magnets.
Condition is good throughout. The braided wires that connect the handles to the mechanism have been replaced, but the apparatus is otherwise original throughout, including the red felt that covers the coils.Label on the underside of the underside of the lid is original and legible throughout. The cabinet itself is in good shape, with all of its original brass hardware still intact (no key though). Leather carrying handle is original and good condition, with normal signs of wear. Nicks and marks on all sides of the cabinet, and other evidence of wear consistent with age and authenticity.
Cabinet, closed, measures approximately 11\" x 5\" x 5\". Shipping weight, properly packaged, will be about 12 lb.That\'s about it. I will pack it carefully.
