looks like newer equipment, You would think some free clinic would be glad to have this at their place!
I would and I'm not even a clinic!
it looks like it just noticed Motts presence.
It looks ready to raise its head, slowly, creaking on slightly rusty hinges, turning to examine the invader to its dark retirement with a dimly glowing vestige of radioactivity deep within its single black eye.
I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that....
Reminds me of getting a mamogram, NOT nice at all! Ouchy!
LOL Binky. 2001: A Space Odyssey. HAL! HAL!
Looks like that Wall-E robot from that movie.
"I am a HAL 9000 computer. . ."
Ah, I knew GLaDOS was still alive somewhere.
AUGH BINKY YOU BEAT ME TO IT!
This is a fluoroscopic x-ray system very much like the types of systems that are still in use today.

The cylindrical component is an image intensifier which will convert low levels of x-ray to light and amplify the output so that it can be seen either on a screen or on a monitor.

The black disc is an anti-scatter grid used to improve the quality of the image.
It kind of looks like a turret camera system. The camera will follow you and the computer inside will take aim, then you better hope there's some cover nearby as it opens fire... :P
This is what gets me Gov. spending and than wasting! No concept of cost ! Not to even mention the cost of building and/or purchasing these buildings in the first place! How many of us would purchase a home then say well we couldn't afford to maintain it so we just left it with all our stuff in it?!!!!
A c-arm unit, used during surgery for portable x-ray.
Looks sort of like the wing of the Starship Enterprise...

K...WAAAAAY too much Star Trek for me...
earthling step up to my space modulater
Hmmm... Motts, why do they leave such nice equipment when they leave these places?
