Ekg

Any body know where to buy a good used ekg machine. only ones i can find cost thousands.

Unfortunately, that's what a "good used one" costs. Because of the long life and huge initial investment for durable medical equipment there is a huge resale market. Machines like that can have many reincarnations.

Dotmed.com, they are a good wholesale medical supplier.

Www.Ebay.com . Link is to Ebay, just enter what you are looking for in the search box. Great source for all kinds of medical devices that normally require a medical license to purchase, but on Ebay you just need to agree that you have the proper credentials without actually showing them. I'd have to say 80%+ of my medical collection is from there. I have bought surgical lights, tables, carts gurney and many other medical devices from there, including a great EKG machine. The one I purchased was a bit pricey, buy like new, and very modern. We use it all the time.

Ebay worksand no one asks about credentials

Ebay, craigslist , and look for surplus auctions at universaties through web and local papers

At least in the USA, they only need a license to be used on humans. In most states (perhaps not litigation-crazy places like NY and CA), you can buy anything for animal or research use.
