Vintage RenuLife Violet Ray Generator

Item Details

A vintage RenuLife Violet Ray Generator. This vintage medical device, manufactured by RenuLife Elec.

This is Model M43540 which features six glass electrode attachments, one metal attachment, one control knob for internal and external usage, and one control knob with the ability to send shock waves of 100 volts and 38 watts ranging from mild to strong.
