    &
    OZONE  GENERATOR
    mfg. Chicago, Illinois Circa 1950
    Don't expect to find one of these anywhere else!  We have only seen  some half dozen on ebay over the past 20 years so our 6 pieces in stock is a major world find!  Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry only has 2 !!!  You could easily gift one of these to your favorite museum and take a HUGE tax write off.  Really!
    Here is a
    Very Rare and Unique Machine Age Device
    that purified homes and businesses of odors and foul scents also kills mold, fungus and viruses in the air such as Covid by producing large quantities of
    Oxygen III
    O
    3
    known as Ozone.
    It also produces
    Shortwave UV Ultraviolet 254.7nm Light
    that  as well as tanning your skin.  This lamp consumes a mere 20 watts of current and produces more
    Ozone per watt than
    ANY OTHER DEVICE KNOWN!
    It works on the Faraday principle
    which converts
    Radio Frequency Microwaves into Shortwave Ultraviolet
    that in turn
    excites Oxygen O
    2
    and converts it into O
    3
    .
    It is also one of the smallest Ozone Generators ever made because of the principle that it operates under.  This Very Unique device was manufactured in a small factory located
    in downtown Chicago on Superior St. during WWII
    and until the company went out of business in the late 1950's.  There were over 120,000 of
    the standard Sun-Kraft Lamps
    manufactured over a 20 year period and they were sold door to door for sun-tanning and attaining better health by breathing germ fighting ozone gas.  Only some
    1,000 of these Sun-Kraft Juniors however were produced of which
    MOST ARE NOW IN MUSEUMS
    and PRIVATE COLLECTIONS or else destroyed.
    If you go anywhere in the Chicago metropolitan area you can find the standard Sun-Kraft lamps ranging from .00 to well over 0.00 however
    you will not easily find a JUNIOR unless you have deep pockets with selling prices typically from 0 to 00 depending on condition.
    There was also an earlier Dish Shaped Sun-Kraft which is the
    model 1A
    (not the standard A1) which also is rare.  Sun-Kraft experimented with other versions of their lamps also, but
    the JUNIOR remains the most aesthetically beautiful machine age construct
    because of its very heavy duty Aluminum construction and its small size and its advanced 2 radio tube automatic ignition system which did not require a large startup capacitor as did the other versions of the Sun-Kraft line.
    This is one of 6 pieces we have in stock and it is
    MUSEUM QUALITY
    and
    TOTALLY RESTORED
    to near original specifications.
    The original leather strap has been replaced with a newer leather strap and rebuilt due to the age of the original carry strap on the case.  All else is original from the factory as parts originating from the Sun-Kraft people.  No additional boxes or cases or instruction books or glasses are being included.  The unit stands alone with its original Mercury Lamp and two prong power cord.
    THIS MAKES A VERY DESIREABLE GIFT TO A DOCTOR, PHYSICS PROFESSOR, SCIENTIST OR INVENTOR
    if you have a friend or family member who qualifies to these titles.
    Please do not ask us to lower our asking price.  A lot of time went into the restoration and testing of this unit and frankly, a similar output Ozone Generator would put you out of over 0.00 in today's currency and it would not produce the same amount of Ozone for the very small usage of about 20 watts of electrical power.  Shipping to the 50 states is .00 to cover shipping and insurance and to all International Locations is .00 by Registered U.S. International Airmail Insured.  Thank You for looking and geez - you won't find another one of these anytime soon EVEN on ebay where the Rare and Unique are taken for granted as being common.
    MAKES A GREAT COLLECTIBLE and a GREAT INVESTMENT.
    Remember that
    NO OTHER COUNTRY or other company in the U.S
    . ever made a microwave exciter mercury vapor
    lamp Ozone Generator like this or using this technology.  Not in the past or present and probably not in the future either as all microwave gererator circuits are monitored by the FDA for whatever application purposes.  Any intelligent questions will be responded to and answered otherwise this is NOT for you.  - Scientificos
