To give that patient a nice healthy glow push the first red button labeled 'Grill master', or to roast a couple weenies push the second red button labeled 'Weenies'.

I like the knobs. They have that 60's look and are nice and shiny.

Apparently 'Bucky' is a common(ish) term in the x-ray field, named after Dr Peter Bucky. Bucky tables are often referred to as part of x-ray equipment so my guess is Bucky 1 and Bucky 2 were tables that patients used to lay on to get x-rayed. You learn something new everyday...

This thing is in such good condition it's weird. I'm sort of expecting to see a cassette deck on it somewhere.

Transworld when under about 10 years ago or so... It certainly isn't an old machine (less than 25 years) and there are new machines that are still being built that look like this today. This system likely has 3 receptors (places where to point the x-ray tube to) a wall stand(aka a wall bucky) a table bucky and a table top (non-bucky)
