Perhaps we are drifting off topic here... the machine that's local to me is from the late 70s. It has no camera system, you put your face up to a viewing window and peer in (!!!).
Many (most?) current package inspection X-ray systems are exactly that type of setup, including mine.
I'd want to be sure I wasn't irradiating myself before using the machine.
There's essentially no risk. The dangers of X-ray exposures were known long before the 1970s. If it was built for commercial sale by that time, it's fine. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
