History I found this item at the back of an antiques store. I have not bought it as of yet, but I want to know if it would be a good buy--they are asking $500 for it. I know that it was used for electroshock therapy in the past, and it is no longer working (Thank God).
Price Paid (If known) I don't own yet, but thinking of buying it.
