Probably one of those heart/pulse/blood pressure monitoring devices, with a motorized belt that slides across the platform, and enables you to run, while you're 'wired for sound' (being monitored for health & safety reasons). The RFI started back longer ago than that, though. Old(er) TVs, when they had tuners that weren't on an IC, had a single, non-sheilded wire from the tuner to the circitry. No sheilding for RFI, whatsoever. John/WA5BXO could tell a lot of stories, being that he must have worked on at LEAST a Grizzilion TV's over the years, there at Delta Plaza, TV (Home Of The Whopper). ;-) Happy New Year, All! --- 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR May the warm winds of heaven blow softly on your home and the Great Spirit bless all who enter there.
