    I think it's an antique foot massager. When the motor spins air is pushed or pulled via the cylinders and inflates or deflates the air bladders under where the feet would go. I suppose it could also be some weird medical device or something else. I can't find any badging or identifying marks on it anywhere. There's a 187 engraved in the front plaque and the GE motor has a badge on it, but that's it.

    Anyone seen one before? I'm interested to learn more about this item.

    He also has an antique MIND so getting his feet in there would take some coaxing..............not to mention 6 pages of instructions...............

    I do have a feeling that this is not a mass produced piece, possibly a one off...........
