Hello James.

Thank you for all the information you've provided. I would like to let everyone know that I just received this machine today in the mail and I'm confused over a couple of things.

The first one:

At the bottom of this picture:



From left to right, there are three sockets. The first one reads "thermolysis" at the bottom, where the needle holder belongs. I have that needle holder

The second and third one read "electrolysis" bellow. They are color coded, the one on the left is black, the right one red. A grouding device belongs to a black wire connected to the black socket. That device looks like the fourth one on this picture, from the top down:

The red socket came with a red cable and nothing attached to it.

Could anyone please tell me what goes in that cable?

Also, am I going to be unable to perform electrolysis without that device?

If we need to buy this device where can it be purchased?

I would really appreciate any input and bit of information you experts would provide me. This unit did not come with a manual and I'm unable to even test if this machine works correctly, and clueless as to how to test it.

Everything seems to turn on correctly, but I lack the knowledge to know what to look for to know if it's working.

Could you please explain to me a good way to test the machine?

Thank you very much in advance!

Lucy

What goes to that red cord is the inactive pole, or ground. That is the item that you have 3rd from the top in your photo of accessories. This is really just a chunk of stainless steel and it completes the circut on your machine. I am sure you could buy one from Texas Electrolysis Supply 1-800-626-6025 for about $5 or less, before shipping and handling. Now if our consumer reporter Poo can give us an idea where we can get a cheap hunk of metal to put on the end of this cord that can be cleaned with sterilizer processes without rusting, or otherwise being destroyed, we are all ears.

Testing the machine is easy. Turn it on, and put the needle into egg white and fire it off like you are treating hairs. You should see the egg white turn white, and solidify. You can also go to blend/electrolysis mode and touch the needle to the end of the red wire and see that the circut is complete and the machine does an actual treatment burst just with the two ends connected together.

Another way to test is to put the red wire on one contact end, and the probe/needle to the other contact of a small light like a christmas light or small bulb and see how when you hit the treatment energy, you make the light work. If you have an old flashlight bulb, touchine one to the side, and the other to the point of the bottom of the bulb will make the proper connection.

One of those should work for you.

LOL,

I can't help with the stainless steel yet.
