Datascope MD-3A Introduced by Datascope in 1979 and produced until the late 1980's, the MD-3 won a design award in 1979 which, according to the rep from Datascope, was hand drawn on blueprints without the aid of a computer. It was the official defibrillator of the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics. This unit was bought for my collection from the now defunct New's ambulance service in Waverly, Ohio. -

All this was is a machine to monitor the patient's pulse. It has an alarm that you can set for bradycardia/tachycardia. -

Probably made in the early 1990's. Had all soft touch push button controls with no switches or knobs.

This was bought from New's Ambulance in Waverly, Ohio which closed in the early 1990's. -

We just renewed our license for another year of concert fun. We'll start the season off in May, then work concerts until around October. Usually the same bands, Ekoostic Hookah and the Insane Clown Posse, these will be our biggest shows. The Hookah show will be three days, the ICP show usually lasts about 5 days, 24 hours a aday at both shows. Last year I did 60 hours at the ICP show, plus I have an ambulance golf cart that I rented out for a few hundred dollars to the guy wjo owns the company I work for. We work out of a 20 x 60 circus style tent. We wall it off on the inside for patient privacy. We'll even have an area in the back just for us. We set up a kitchen in the back and cook our own food. I usually bring my camper to sleep in. Nothing like having an air conditioned place to take a nap in in the middle of a hot August day after a grueling 24 hour shift.

Would you mind emailing me a pictuer of one of these MAST radios? They are a little before my time, but sound really interesting.

Any one know any thing about old equipment?

Hi Dustdevil, thanks for your help. Welch-Allyn now owns MRL, but they wont give me any info on the defib units. I did get a response from Datascope. They actually called me and gave me information on the MD-3. The biophone I got was made by Biocom. I'm not sure who made the radio parts, but I think it may be GE. Biocon made the biophone that was used on the Emergency TV show, that unit had GE radio parts so thats what makes me think it could be GE. It is in an orange case though, and come in a blue soft case so you can throw your back out while you carry it over your shoulder! If you want to sell one of yours, let me know when you get back from the land of the sand fleas! -

MRL is owned by Welch Allen now, they don't seem to want to return emails, but I'll keep trying. As to the 10 not being an antique, it really isn't, but I think it was introduced around 1991 which is when the LP-5 production was stopped. I have an LP-4, that thing weight 47lbs. What an anchor!
