I’ve decided to contribute in my own way by posting Ebay listings of electrolysis machines that are known genuine - in other words, legitimate professional grade equipment.
There are many listings for One Touch devices; these work but are so numerous that listing them all is impractical and a waste of space. Of course, I’m weeding out all the tweezer, patch, and pure black magic devices.
The purpose of this thread is to encourage determined do-it-yourselfers to use good equipment, and it would be great to hear that people are using this information. So if you buy a machine using this info, it would be great to hear what you bought, how much you paid, and how the experience has been so far.

You guys know how I feel about “Do It Yourselfing”, I perfer that you at least “Do It For Eachother”. I will however help out here and tell you that the unnamed electrolysis machine on the second link in the above post is real, and a great bargan for a home unit, or even a student electrologist. It is old, but still works.
I would rather someone planning to work for pay get something newer than this, but for a home user on a budget, it is fine if they really work hard to have themselves and their electrolysis buddy study and perfect their technique.

This RA Fischer is a first generation computerized epilation machine. The new stuff is better than this, but a home user with this machine would be in a great position to do good work if one learned proper settings and techniques.
The previously mentioned Fischer machine has been relisted:
