I found a defibrillator when scrapping a medical suite. Don't know if it works, nor do I know how to test it. Guess I have to do some research to find out if it is legal to sell!

I've been wanting one ever since I saw what Homer Simpson could do with one!
Thoughts of Hoss come to mind...just be careful.

Uh- those are very dangerous - better get a paramedic to check it out for you and show you what not to do. Something that can alter the beating of your heart is not a toy! Seriously, I have used them.

Yeah, I'm not always that bright, but I am smart enough to be scared of this thing! :-)

Unless it is seriously broke - they have all kinds of safeties built in to prevent them from being used to shock things that shouldn't be shocked. If your heart is beating regularly - it won't shock. If your heart isn't beating at all - it won't shock. Your heart has to be in some kind of fluttery rhythm for it to shock. I'm only talking about the portable kind you find in office buildings, schools, churches, etc. The ones in hospitals are different - but only trained medical personnel are using those. The ones that dummies like me can use are designed so I can't abuse them.
I would be far more afraid of opening one up and parts still being energized than I would be of putting them on my chest (or anywhere else) and pushing a button.

I've heard of people being thrown across the room by having the smallest contact point with the charge (stethoscope dangling in an unfortunate place) - these are the ones in hospitals. You also can't assume if it is one the portable AED's that are everywhere that it was functioning properly when it was discarded or that your heart is beating as it should. Some people walk around with irregular heart beats and don't even know it.Originally Posted by waredu

You could set it up as a booby trap. Connect the electrodes to your scrap pile and when the tweaker comes in and touches it ZAPPPPPPP!find a thief/tweeker just sayin

ebay used to have special notices that went with certain medical categories. maybe you can look in those for specific information about selling it, maybe too in other listings for the same item

If you scrap it out let us know what's in it. I know a guy that has one and dosn't if he should scrap it or try to sell it.
