I got hold of this decommissioned xray machine, which also has quite a few years on its back. All cables cut, missing most of the mechanical parts and motors for adjusting head/table. Missing remote control and possible some external power supplies.
What surprised me the most was the wire-wrapped backplane!
I will do a video walk-through of the system once I know some more about it, hopefully I can find a manual, but it does not seem like it floats all over the internet for that model.
Enjoy :)
