Does anyone know what a Sanabria Ion Generator is?
This device has no apparent connection with television, but was made by the Deforest-Sanabria company in Chicago, probably in the 50s. It is apparently an ion or ozone generator. The rectifier tube provides a high DC voltage, which is applied to the chassis. The fan blows air across the chassis and out the grill.
A friend came across it and we are trying to figure it out. It is in very good condition for its age. I believe it is the same Deforest associated with tubes.
The negative ion generator produced ozone (negative ions) thought at the time to boost positive mood. I have one of the units, I have yet to see if it works as promised. I am the nephew of U.A.Sanabria; the unit can be seen in the equipment section: http://www.sanabriatv.com
