John Marsh's 1970's
Beam Ray replica Rife Machine

1) Used a ray tube.

2) Carrier frequency was 4.122 MHz.

3) Modulated sine and square wave audio frequencies onto the sine wave carrier frequency.

4) Power usage was about 460 watts. Output to the ray tube about 50 to 60 watts.

John Marsh built this Beam Ray replica Rife Machine model # JLMSQ-1A back in the early 1970s. He and John Crane were under court order not to associate with each other. Because of this they went their separate ways but communicated through phone calls and letters often. John Crane stayed in California and John Marsh went to Colorado but eventually settled back in SLC, Utah until his death in 1987. All of his Rife Machines and Rife information were given to his nurse at his death. She allowed us to take photos of this instrument of his. We wish to thank her for allowing us to do this.

The photo below shows the two chassis that were connected by wires. This instrument was a mix of both tube technology and modern solid state components. John Marsh’s nurse also allowed us to examine the boxes that make up the

instrument inside and out. In the next photo, shown below, you can see that the instrument could use both sine and square wave audio frequencies. The frequency

range of the audio oscillator went from 20 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz over three bands. It had coarse and fine adjustments for the audio frequencies. Above those knobs we see the digital readout of the frequencies. John Marsh put in a modern solid state audio oscillator with a digital readout. To the right of the digital readout we see a timer with a range of up to 5 minutes. To the right of that timer we see the power meter which said on it “Standing wave ratio” and “Percent reflected power”. The knob below the meter was for adjusting the standing wave ratio. Below the knob is where the ray tube was connected. He used the CB antenna style connection instead of the banana jack method. In the upper left hand corner of the photo you can still see the masking tape with the 1950’s frequencies written on it.

In the photo, below on the left, you can see the instrument with a ray tube connected to it. This photo was taken by John Marsh back in the 1970's. The other photo is a close up of the ray tube that was used with the instrument.

In the next photos, shown below, labeled #1 is looking at the inside front of the instrument. Photo #2, is looking at the back of the instrument. Photo #1 shows the solid state audio oscillator. To the left of the audio oscillator is the 5 minute timer. Photo #3 shows the underside of the chassis where you can see the RF tank coil that was fixed at 4.122 MHz. The three photos of vacuum tubes labeled #4, #5 and #6 show a clear view of the 811a, 6L6GC and 6GK6 vacuum tubes and their placement into the chassis.

The next photo, below on the left, shows a side view of the audio oscillator. The photo, below on the right shows a side view of the 811a tube. You can also see the RF choke right in front of the 811a tube.

The nex two photos, shown below are of the inside of the small case. It contained almost all the transformers. The standard Beam Ray Rife Machine had two shelves in one case for components. The AZ-58 combined everything into one case but for some reason John Marsh used two cases to hold the components.

John Marsh's instrument, like the AZ-58, was a more modern replica version of the original Beam Ray Clinical Rife Machine. The carrier frequency that John Marsh chose to use with this instrument clearly shows he did not understand the importance of the carrier frequency. He changed it from the AZ-58’s 4.68 MHz to 4.122 MHz. The 4.122 MHz carrier frequency is probably one of the worst carrier frequencies he could have chosen using the AZ-58 low audio frequencies for the sideband method. The only reason you would use this carrier frequency is if you did not care what carrier frequency you used. The fact that they didn't really care what carrier frequency they used is without question since both John Marsh and John Crane have said in several documents and on audio tapes that the audio frequencies were the M.O.R. frequencies. The whole concept of using the sideband spacing method is to choose a carrier frequency that would work the best with all of the Rife Ray #4 frequency harmonics. Had John Marsh really understood the significance of the carrier frequency he would have chosen a different one. But just like the AZ-58 they changed it and relied on the square wave audio frequency harmonics rather than the sideband spacing method used in the original Beam Ray Clinical instrument. The Aubrey Scoon’s Beam Ray Clinical instrument replica was working on the side band spacing method because the audio frequencies used with it were high enough to make the number of sideband harmonics reasonably low. So far Aubrey Scoon’s instrument is the only instrument that we have seen, except for the original Beam Ray Clinical Rife Machine, which worked properly on the sideband spacing method. It is clear that the AZ-58 was not working fully on the sideband principle even though it could have. It appears that just by chance or accident some of the frequencies, like the BX frequency, worked because the carrier frequency was set at about 3.2 MHz by Dr. Stafford. Just the fact that they lowered the audio frequencies by a factor of 10 and then depended solely on square wave audio frequencies showed they didn’t understand Philip Hoyland’s sideband method. Had Philip Hoyland revealed how his Beam Ray Clinical Rife Machine worked a lot of confusion could have been avoided.

In the chart, shown below, the frequencies have been calculated for John Marsh’s instrument. You will notice that the “Original 1950's AZ-58 Frequencies” are almost a perfect match to the “Correct Sideband Frequencies.” But before we place too much significance in this coincidence we need to keep in mind the “Number of Sideband Harmonics.” These numbers are so high that almost any low frequency can be divided into the “Carrier Difference Frequency” and come out within a few Hertz of the “Correct Sideband Frequency.” If you want a higher resolution copy of this chart click here.

If you look at the “Number of Sideband Harmonics” it takes to hit the correct Rife Ray #4 “Higher Harmonic Frequencies” you will understand that this instrument could never work on the sideband spacing method using these low audio frequencies. None of the “Number of Sideband Harmonics” are less than 59 sideband steps and the highest is 750. The chance of this working would be almost zero. The best method to use with John Marsh’s instrument is the audio frequency square wave harmonic method. This is the primary method he used with his instrument.

Below in the chart is a list of the higher audio frequencies, 40,000 Hertz or below, that could be used with John Marsh’s instrument and make it work using the harmonic sideband method. Many different audio frequencies could be calculated to work.

Conclusion: The fact that John Marsh built these Beam Ray replica Rife Machines and used different carrier frequencies with the same audio frequencies conclusively proves that he never understood how the instrument was really suppose to work. This also shows that John Crane didn't really know how the instrument was supposed to work because he was doing the same thing as John Marsh. The fact that Philip Hoyland did not reveal how the Beam Ray Clinical instrument really worked has affected Rife's work in a negative way to this vey day.
