See my previous message on this topic.

I viewed the photos, and the photo of  the unit in the patient examination 
room looks a lot like the design of the fluoroscope I acquired in the early 
60's.  It suspect it might make a highly sought after museum piece.

The  control unit has some nice meters, and the "100 step autotransformer" 
would make an excellent variable-voltage unit for the plate transformer for 
a 2 kw-plus transmitter or amplifier.  If it's anything like I remember from 
mine, its voltage regulation is far superior to that of a large variac. 
This unit is much higher power and heavier-duty than the one I had.

I still regret getting rid of the autotransformer, but I was glad to see the 
rest of the x-ray machine go.
