And do you remember when they had fluoroscopes in shoe stores?

Yep, I recall the ‘perfect fit’ sizing machine at Sears getting shoes. Used to play with it using my hands when nobody was around. Funny part is I went on to spend 30 years in Radiology.

I’ve heard of them, and seen one in a museum.

It was an unfiltered x-ray tube, too, with loads of low energy photons.

In the 30’s someone was selling a ceramic cylinder loaded with thorium, you were supposed to put it in your drinking water pitcher to “energize” the water and make you healthy!

Used to put my feet in them and watch my toes wiggle -- just unshielded x-ray machines...
