Found this ad on Ebay for a "DENTAL PORTABLE MOBILE X- RAY MACHINE". Here's a clip of the ad image:

What is "Green" X-ray Machine

This updated model X-ray Machine combines the advantages of similar products. It eliminates the shortcomings of the on-frequency X-ray machine (high current intensity and excess amounts of scrap x-rays). The tube voltage frequency of this machine is 30 KHz, and the tube current is 0.1MA. The radiation scope is at an angle of 24 degrees, located within a distance of 1.2 meters ahead. This is an innovative design named the "Green X-ray Machine." Low amount of radiation safeguards patients and staff from overdoes of radiation exposure. No special guards are needed for both doctor and patient.

Units and Pictures (what you see what you get)

Note the spelling errors, stilted grammar, and interesting specifications like

• Adjustable KV (revolutions per minute of engine) and MA

I always thought RPM was the acronym for engine speed. What are "scrap X-rays", anyway?

And WHAT is a  Toshiba 0.3x0.3 micro-focus spherical kinescope ?

Would you buy one of these for use on humans - or lab rats, for that matter? I'll bet it lasts less than a month under normal use.
