Sanabria Ion Generator

This device has no apparent connection with television, but was made by the Deforest-Sanabria company in Chicago, probably in the 50s. It is apparently an ion or ozone generator. The rectifier tube provides a high DC voltage, which is applied to the chassis. The fan (missing one blade), blows air across the chassis and out the grill. It was found in California.
