Now that almost any modern hospital’s radiology department has gone completely digital, there must be thousands of obsolete X-ray viewing boxes hanging around. Drew Wright , a graphic designer, makes some creative use of one of these oldies. He used an old wall mounted x-ray viewer and mounted it perpendicular to the wall, and now it functions as a desk. He uses it for trace work and overlays for graphic and interior design. Using it for any other purposes would probably not be recommended by your ophthalmologist, even if radiologists have been staring at these boxes full-time for many decades.
