RE: 1960's Exercise Machine
I am the proud owner of both the belt type "butt-shaker" & wooden roller exercise machine. The belt machine is not in great shape but does actually work pretty well (last time I tried it - which has been quite a while ago). The wooden roller machine is in great shape. Had never had any desire to sell either, let alone both, but am now going to if anyone here is interested. I have no idea how much so will have to check around about that but you are welcome to make offers. While I may have good taste in exercise machines I apparently have HORRIBLE taste in men & am selling off stuff I have been holding on to to get the money to move :) Thanks. email to yazemail AT gmail.com

RE: 1960's Exercise Machine
Hey now! That's what I want to know! Where can I find one of those Sears-Roebuck belt rubbers? We had one back in the 50's/60's, picked one up for free in the 70's and bought one for 20-25 bucks at a flea market in 2000. It still runs, just doesn't rub. Living in Rochester, Mn, allways lookin'! Peace, B MOMD313 AT msn.com

Oh for the Love of God! Ha. My Grandmother has both of those! The Belt one and the wooden Roller thing. I just got off of the one with the belt around the hips and I turned around and had it on my tummy......I ran into the house and started throwing up! I wasn't on it but a min and it had pulled all my stretch marks and made them bubble up and my lower tummy still hurts an hour later! That thing is the Devil! LOL. Ya, She has both of them though.

Does anyone know how/where I could find the history of those 1960's Exercise Machines. The ones that Sears sold and I think were popular in Vic Tanny's in their day. You put the belt around your waist and it shook you all up to lose weight, or so they said.

10.4.07 I'm looking for the old electric wooden roller machine, too--NOT the belt vibrating one. Has anyone had luck locating one?

I am actually looking for one of the rollers from back then. Anybody remember those? I am very interested. You use to use them on your thighs and butt.

RE: 1960's Exercise Machine
I have one and always thought it was a "Belt Reducer". It can be dangerous for anyone who might have clots in the arteries/veins because it's powerful and can shake them loose causing a stroke. So, I'd recommend it only for the younger adults to age 30. I had a Thrombosis in my calf at age 27, and there was no other explanation for it. I had full body Phlebitis, and had to take blood thinners for five months but had no stroke, luckily.
They are actually from the 40's and 50's, and should cost used about $50, if in good condition. They seem to last forever and the older belts have leather ends that detach from the main unit. I'm looking for a "Barrel Roller" exerciser. Anyone have one for sale or know of anyone who does? I just missed one at a garage sale a few years ago, but the buyer wouldn't part with it because she was really big. I was able to massage one of my breasts which was smaller than the other, with the barel roller and it grew to the correct size, much to my surprise. : )

RE: 1960's Exercise Machine
I also remember that!!! I was a kid but I remember it made me itch after using it. What purpose did it really serve? You really think it will shake your fat away?

Before you spend money on one of those, make sure you check with your doctor. I seem to remember that they were VERY bad for your kidneys!!

RE: 1960's Exercise Machine
I know the machine you are referring to, but I would not recommend one. All that heavy duty vibrating really does shake up your insides in ways you are not meant to be shaken. At the time I had an IUD and the doctors suspect that using that machine on a regular basis added greatly to the fact that the IUD perforated my cervix. So if you do get one, please use with caution
