Sometimes things just go well. Over the past 2 weeks I've found some items that I've been looking for over the last 2 years.
1) An old H&H Inhalator (for free)
2) An old Knickerbocker-style EMS kit for my '73 Lifeliner ($50 off Ebay)
3) A set (4) of the Cadillac CC wheel rims also for my Lifeliner ($100 from a local Cadillac Club member)
I've loaded the EMS kit with gear and it'll be a nice addition.
I media blasted the rims and am in the process of priming and painting.
The inhalator is just too cool. I need to reletter one of the tanks as CO2 as this is the only resuscitator that actually used CO2 with oxygen compared to straight oxygen. The medical thinking was that becuse most of us use the CO2 levels in our blood to trigger respirations, then pure oxygen was not sufficient to stimulate the return of respirations hence the introduction of CO2.
I'm excited with my finds...my wife just nods politely and says "that's nice".
