I got one of those quack medical devices (Holo-Electron, by PAB, 5 rue
Tronchet, Paris) at the flea market for Sfr.10.- only (~6US$). I
"reverse engineered" the circuit diagram with all L,C,R values, but i
have to make a better sketch of it, in order to make it available to the
list (will do!). In essence, it's a kicker-coil connected to a kind of
Tesla or Oudin coil (some uncertainty about the TC part, because of not
wanting to open the handheld device, in order not to destroy it). It's
connected directly to 220/120V AC, and i'm not sure about the safety
aspects of the device, when in use =8-[]. The innner side of the box
shows a very crude construction, but it works. All the little evacuated
tubes, however, were with it, and that's just nice.
