Radioclast
notes: label: Description
content: Following the lead of Albert Abrams, several American firms made electronic instruments of purported medical use. One such was the Electronic Instrument Co., a firm in Tiffin, Ohio, founded by Lester L. Roby, Sr. The firm’s original Radioclast, introduced in the early 1940s, could produce long, short and intermediate radio frequencies, and sold for $1000. A tag on this example reads “Auto Electronic Radioclast / Model 20.”
