I have in perfect working and cosmetic condition a "VITAMASTER ROLLER MASSAGER" as seen in many spa salons in the 70's (venus de milo, elaine powers, gloria marshall ext.)
sits flush on the floor and spins with a rolling barrel like motion. is perfect for breaking apart fatty areas, warming up muscles before a work out and just over all massaging (what i've used it for. works miracles.)
this is a collectors item as well as a useful piece of dietary/therapy equipment.
serious offers only.
Location: whittier, CA (i will ship it at owners request and cost)

ReplyIs it still available. I'm in La Mirada. Could pick up in person.
How much are you asking for your roller machine? Is it the kind you can sit on while the wooden rollers go aroud on a barrel shaped peice of equipment? Thanks, Mary

ReplyHi Bobbie,
ReplyI have an old Sears model vibrating belt machine.
The original belt was missing, so someone retro-fitted a different belt, but the machine itself is in great shape. Let me know if you're still interested.

I have a Europlate vibration machine and have seen great results over the past 4 months. I never liked the gym so I thought I would get one for my home. Surprise I actually use it! It has really helped my joint pain and increase my muscle strength. The best part is that my daughter comes over alot more now to see me...... and use the vibration machine. :) If you are interested go to: http://www.myeuroplate.com that's were mine is from.

ReplyI have one that I have been using for the last 25 years that my mother passed on to me. I wore out three belts and had to have the last two custom made. Now the motor and the rest of the machine are wore out also. I use it accross the shoulders to releave sore joints that would never get enough exercise otherwise. I use it accross the back for the same reason and to releave aches and pains. It has been a life saver. I could care less about weight loss. I damn the stupit exercise centers that stopped making and selling this life saver. Even the Air Force had them in the Mens gym in Charleston 1961-1965. The one I had said Sears on it. Sorry they are not still selling it.
ReplyOh my gosh i have one of those old jigglers! i use it when i get done working out! it really makes my muscles relax, just like a massage!
ReplyI recently inherited a roller massager. It is for sale but I don't know what they are worth.
Replyplease send me information about your machine
ReplyDear Edward,
ReplyHow much are you selling your Roller Massager for?
Thanks, Paul
Edward, do you still have your roller machine?
ReplyI recently came across a SPORTCREST 5000 and would be willing to sell it. It works fine. We got it for fun but, don't have the room for it. Any takers? It is a "vibrating belt massager" but I can not find anything about it on the web.
ReplyI will like to buy one of this old fashion roller massager. Where can I find one

ReplyHi everyone,
ReplyI just found out that Sunpentown makes the vibrating belt massagers (machines) brand new. I don't work for the company or have ANY affiliation. I just happened upon the info when I googled "vibrating belt exercise machine" under google images. I was looking for a vintage machine because I didn't even know these were still made. I found one com that I can get one for around 130.00 brand new. Just thought I'd pass this along in case anyone is having trouble finding a vintage one.
If you have a general interest in this type of exercise equipment, there is a Yahoo group where people like all of us here can share our common interests regarding belt massagers, roller massagers, and the like: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/reducingfigure/

I happened to have one of those period Battle Creek Brand exercise belt machines . Anybody interested?
ReplyI just happened to come across some info on the Battle Creek belt machine. It was developed by the maker of Corn Flakes, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, in 1895. He not only made the belt but made a standing vibrator also. The belt seemed to gradually disappear but the standing vibrator continued on and the company changed it's name to VibraTrim. They have managed to stay in business all this time and work with NASA, Madonna, Sports Teams, and Therapies with fabulous results.
It looks like you have a collector's piece on your hands!
ReplyHI- I e-mailed you as well.
ReplyIs your roller still available?
Thank you,

Does anyone remember the name of a machine where you laid on a table and had a center part that vibrated back and forth. Had one for a long time and finally the kids used it as a toy. My memory is not as good as it used to be, so have forgotten the name. Thanks
