Film-O-Sonic

The Film-O-Sonic 105 was an acoustic-therapeutic device (or "sound therapeutic vibrator") manufactured and sold by Sonus Research Products Co., described as "consisting of a continuous cycle tape play-back mechanism, and an amplifier, transformer unit, and electrode pads," all housed inside a box-type cabinet. Per the advertising copy, the user would apply the electrodes to their body (or listen to the recording using headphones), and play a particular tape with associated with a desired treatment, running the tape on a loop and thereby becoming suffused by the "healing vibrations" of the recording; such treatment would, Sonus claimed, act to cure various "pathological conditions," as well as building up physical strength and immunity to disease.
