    hard to say what it will do not knowing what pills are in it.

    Definitely a 6 pill. Can't tell what pills cause whoever built it strapped them in. Looks to be built well.

    That first 2 pill section looks like it might be a drive section. Notice the smaller transformer on the out put side. I'm no expert but that might be a 2 driving 4.

    Hope someone with more experience will chime in here.
