This is an old quadruple Voss
machine, restored by
Alan Recce
in 2009. The
machine was in quite bad state,
but most of the parts were in place (
another view).
Two of the original glass disks were replaced by vinyl records. This
machine has 8 plates, the two at the front and back sides and the two
central ones round and rotating. The front and back disks have four
buttons for startup. The other two pairs, that are octagonal, have
metal inductor plates mounted on them. Instead of Leyden jars, this
machine uses plate capacitors for charge storage. The disks were
rebuilt, all in glass, and varnished. The metal parts were cleaned and
lacquered. The pictures below show the restored machine.
