Thought this would be fun. post a picture of something odd, unusual or otherwise not easily recognizable.
Everyone can post their guesses.
Winner then gets to photograph something odd and post it.
I saw these in my "stuff"
What are they? Easy to guess what they resemble - but they are so small.

Plastic feet to be inserted into the bottom of something so said something does not contact the ground but the plastic feet things do.
So....do you know what they are Adidas, or are we all just guessing until it jogs your memory?
tap washer
All wrong so far.
I do know what they are - and they are not mousies dildos.
I think it is fun to play the "What is this" game. One show on either DIY or some tool show always does that.
Hint: anyone into electronics?
I think I remember seeing these in my box of computer parts (back when I did computers). Are they motherboard "feet"?
EDIT: Nevermind, Mister already said feet.
Socket blocking pins, used to for keying connectors.
Keep guessing. It is something for electronics.
I'll post the answer tomorrow of no one gets it.

That was quick. Yes it's a tubular lock pick :cheers:
Reason I thought that? In college, a friend in the dorm has this obsession with making a pick for that type of lock. He had a tube and fingers each with a screw on them. I don't think he ever got it to work. It was for the change machine in the laundry room at the dorm.
Next challenge......

Reminds me of something mechanical at a bowlong alley like a pinsetter or ball lift/return thingie.
that's what i was going to say,..has to have something to do with bowling,...but i dont know what!
Close - can you be more specific?
My 4 year old likes to go Bowling. He uses the ramp to push the ball down the lane, and I have to tell him 15 times not to put your hand in the ball return.
The only thing I can think of is when the ball comes back from behind the pinsetter, it goes in some underground conveyer, then travels though this thingie to where the ball comes out. Like the Brunswick or AMF Ball return machine that comes out of the floor.
If that's not it, then I give up.
Bowling Ball Return Mechanism
Not ball return.
Nothing to do with balls.
Pin setter mechanism?
I'll let you have it.
Specifically, it is a part from an AMF 82-30 model pinsetter. This is the part that picks up the pin after the first ball. Mounted to it is a cup that hold the next pin to be spotted. When spotting the pins, the whole assembly rotates 45* so the pin is vertical. When the pin is on the deck, the cup goes down a little more and swings back a few more degrees to clear the pin. When up and out of the eay, it rotates back to its normal position.
As it comes down on the top of the pin, the two rubber grips move in. Being on a sliding track, the pin can be off spot by 6" and still get picked up. Once the grips grab the pin, they stay closed with a ball point pen kind if latch. When the pinsetter table comes down to put the pin back down, that motion releases the grips and they open up.
Here you see the back row in a pinsetter. Each also has a switch to light up a light on the machine to show you which pins were left. also all switches had a contact connected in series. If any pin was picked up, it would break that circuit and it would not be a strike. If the circuit remained unbroken, the electronics (relays) would know it is a strike and immediately set a new set of pins.

On these older pinsetters, if you noticed when bowling, as the table comes down to pick up the pins left after the first ball, you would see the next set of pins sliding down into the cups one by one - starting from the left and going around to the right.

It makes sense that he has bowling apparatus since that's what he does: http://www.cdesoftware.com/company/about
Also, if you look at his photo album referenced in his signature, it's full of bowling gear.
I guessed that it was a mechanical thing. Just picked the wrong one (ball lift/return instead of pin setter).

wrong brand, but close on the name.
Fourth Hand Inner Wire Pliers
Commonly referred to as a "4th Hand", the Cable Stretcher pulls both gear and brake cables tight . It features one-hand operation with a thumb lock to hold the cable tight while your hand is removed to tighten pull-up bolts and nuts. Made from heat treated tool steel, chrome plated, and featuring cushion grips for comfort. A must for any shop, home or professional
And give me a break!! You know I know what it is :cheers:

Exact name on file is as follows
Prima Fourth Hand - Cable Puller/Holder
so basically your asking for someone to know exactly and not guess what it is? Fun game... I will make sure to google next time...
wrong brand and the generic name has 3 words as per the catalog, but since we're close and you have got the use correct, we'll call it. brand was PBK and generic name is "cable tension pliers". Cods was the closest to it, so he gets the guernsey. quick game is a good game as they say.
I think cable pliers should be enough take the win this go round. :dunno_black:

Lets not make it so that google HAS to be used to know the exact word. The fun of the game is the guessing.
This one is not mechanical but I could not work without it.
Water filter off an air tool?
Air filter or fluid filter
plastic, metal, and rubber! and it looks like a sealed concrete floor! :cheers:
now to find the next obscure item...hmmmm
Nicotine filter from your cig holder.

No to everything so far,
Mister is kinda on the right track.
GSatterw, you almost won but sadly it was a table and not a floor.
Damn!
Cigar punch?
is it a fuse of sorts?
or maybe a very small yellow fluorescent light...
Gun silencer
OR a fluid level sight tube that goes on the outside of something.
Part of a "vape" smokeless cigarette. Maybe the "juice" cartridge or atomiser or some other part.

...uh haha...I actually smoked pot every day for the last 6 years...when it was not legal in GA and LA...but have been clean for a month and a half and tested negative 2 weeks ago! It's about that time when I have to get an engineering job, and have to pass drug tests.
But hey, if you don't have to worry about a job and its legal (which is awesome, definitely not a crime, go WA and CO!), I highly (hahaha) recommend that you try it, so long as you have absolutely no prior commitments. Although from what I hear, it is "more powerful" than it was in the 70's...but today's strength is all I know. So be careful. Just take to hits, wait 20 minutes, and see.
This is probably TMI. so I'll go ahead and stop.

damn, I feel like adidas has so much random unidentifiable crap. I'm not getting this one.
As a clue, EVERYONE has heard one of these in use unless you are deaf. Really - AND I MEAN EVERYONE. More like hundreds of these in use and at the same time.
uhhh....something to do with radio transmission?
Nope.

Way wrong in the extreme.
Well, if you consider the most extreme uses, it could be used somewhere with a bell, horn, gong, siren, drum, chime, xylophone, marimba, piano, cow bell, cymbal.
OK - that should be enough hints.
You have to be specific about what it does.
How about from an electric organ? Like a Hammond...this part makes noise when you press a key?

Getting closer, but not Hammond.
Something to do with amplification?
The only other organ I know of is the Mighty Wurlitzer. Went to this restaurant once called the Music Palace, that featured this organ. This guy played everything from Johnny Cash to Hawaii Five-O theme music on this. Amazing!
Sadly, it's a China Buffet now with a gigantic koi pond.
Still swimming around the pond. Dive in and be specific about what it is.
It almost looks like an old resonator, with the business end covered by the cardboard-type paper.

Please be more specific. You're close.

its an organ magnet!
why, pray tell, do you have an organ magnet lying around your house?
OK. There would be one per pipe or percussion note (marimba, xylophone) or effect (gong, cow bell) A vary large organ can have thousands of these.

So, it's some part of an Organ and I'm supposed to have heard Thousands of them?
My uncle had a small electric organ. He used to play "I walk the line" whenever we visited - which was rare. I have sometimes heard a large pipe organ in Movies but don't know if that's real or not. So I can say, I've not heard Thousands of these things. :dunno_black:

now to find some random item that no one would ever guess...damn, I really only have normal people stuff around my house. Give me a little bit.

Beautiful organ, by the way
Quote from: mister on January 03, 2013, 02:32:29 PM

In pipe organs. One per pipe. Hit a full chord with lots of stops on and a hundred or more pipes would play - with one chest magnet per pipe. A rank of pipes (61, 73, 95 or 107) would be that many magnets. A 20 rank organ could have over 2000 of them.
This is a very obvious one if you participate in the hobby...sorry for the blurriness

They come from different farms and aren't familiar with each other. The queen cage has a big stopper of candy in it so while the workers chew through it, the queen and workers get acquainted so they don't kill the queen and think she's and intruder.
Corner brace?
I shoulda sent the pic to my coworker who was an apiarist with well over 100 hives.

A metal rebar stake in the ground. Pulled one out of my front yeard when I got rid of my antenna. That thing was in the ground at least 4 feet.

chain cleaner
dammit that was a short reign. I'll have to go with something horribly obscure next time to make up for it
You're up :2guns:
LOL, oh crap, that was a wild guess, it looks similar to my own chain cleaner, but different enough for me to think I was totally wrong. Give me a bit of time to find something.
Okay, had a look around the office and found something. It should be obvious what it is, or was anyway, so most people should be able to guess that. However I'm a big fan of being inventive and not wasting things, so the prize goes to the first person to guess what I actually use this thing for. As a hint I use many of them in an office environment, from our entry/reception area, the staff office area and the boardroom. I won't keep people guessing for ages, so this has a time limit of less than 3 hours, since that is when I go home. So if not guessed by the time I go home, first correct guess of what it was wins.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-5fu5zw8wHG4/UOZIFSp4YeI/AAAAAAAACEE/uqWwp1nrG-U/s894/DSCN0856.jpg)
um. A bookmark? I have no clue what it was, or what it is. :dunno_black:
A big shiny metal pointing stick
A Venetian blinds adjuster
A back scratcher
A lock bar for a file cabinet
Beyond that I have no idea.
was it a curtain bar thing?
no guesses right so far, but the curtain thing is on the right track for the purpose of the item. just over an hour before I reveal its purpose, then someone else can have a go.
Something to hang loose leaf paper on?
paper does hang from it, but definitely not loose leaf. you're the closest so far with 45 minutes to go.
Dunny roll holder
Toilet paper roll holder for the yanks
paper towels?
not quite, we don't have them (dunnies) in the board room, reception area or general office area. :icon_eek:
drawing/shipping/butcher paper rolls?
fly paper
Wires that hold papers in notebooks/folders
Okay, time to put you out of your misery and let me go home, gsatterw you can have the win since you guessed it was for hanging stuff from. The picture below shows its use and that is a caricature of me, which must be fairly accurate because google photos wanted to tag it as me. :icon_eek:
Basically its an old bike spoke, bent to hook over the top of internal office walls under the suspended ceiling panels in a way that allows a picture to be invisibly hung via fishing line. We have about 12 of these hanging various framed pictures in the office plus art work. Just means we can move them around without having holes in the walls. You can see it peeking out from under the ceiling in the top of the photo.

Right angle gear box - probably from a shaft drive motorcycle as there appear to be air cooling fins, though could be from an electric motor.
Spiral bevel gears means quality!
Not a gearbox, not a shaft drive bike. Think old and Italian.
Well, it is gears in a box and 2 spiral gears do drive something at a right angle.
Now to figure out what it is.
Could be from a screw jack or mechanical lift of some type.
You were on track with a motorcycle, but it's not a gearbox or drive shaft. Like I said, think old and Italian.
Steering stem gears.
(Gear box: any gears in a box. It does not mean a transmission or gear selector thingy - just gears in a box. Could include a differential or a gear box on the end of a motor on a pinsetter to change the direction of force 90* - like a worm gear on a spur gear - or so the motor can drive a shaft going in both directions)
Possibly on one of these for pedals or steering:

aluminum arrow straightener?

Chassis alignment tool?
I've seen one being used before. Buggered if I know what they were doing with it, wasn't paying attention at the time. Arrrggghhhh....

Wheel alignment clamp.
Damn, I shoulda taken scale into consideration haha.
If its not wheel alignment, I'll say...uhh...transmission alignment?

Glove keepers. Clip one to the sleeve of the coat and one to the glove so little kids don't lose their gloves.
Or just general purpose tie downs for tarps and covers on things.
Looks like gaffer's or rigger's apparatus?
Ok, Addy is closest.
They are called Glove Guard (http://www.gloveguard.com/) and are patented in the USA. While, I supposed you might clip one end to a coat sleeve and the other end to the glove for children, I know them only as ways to carry gloves without needing to physically hold them. Such as in this picture...

Many work sites in this country now make it Mandatory to Carry gloves with you - grunt or admin alike - and this is how it is achieved.
There is no way they could tie down anything. The rubber joiner would pop out instantly any load was put on them. I have seen riggers/gaffers use them - to carry their gloves and other lightweight things that need carrying as well.

Piece of metal with make thread at one end?
It is metal.
It does have matching male and female connectors.
I do not think these are used anymore anywhere. They were used a lot in the 60's through the 80's when newer technology made them obsolete.
That should be a really good hint for you!
You should at least be able to recognize the threaded connector.
Close up of the other end:

filter for cable tv to block certain channels or if you have internet only and no tv
Correct on part 1.
For analog cable TV, there were 2 types of filters.
One type was a broad notch filter that would block channels you did not pay for (HBO, ShowTime, etc). Those filters were put where you could not easily access them: on the pole or in a locked box.
The other type was a very narrow notch filter that enabled you to get a station. Some places injected a signal into the premium channels. If you paid for HBO, you would get the notch filter which would removed that injected noise signal in the HBO frequency for your cable system.
The filters were marked as to the type and which channel they affected. Back then, many cable systems ended around channel 39 I think. Some went higher.
The advent of digital encoding has eliminated the need for these analog filters.
Oh, YOU WIN!

So far "remover" is the only word that has anything to do with this little thingy.
Solder Remover?
Nope. Not a solder remover.
blackhead remover. Place the Tube over the blackhead, pull back on the red knob and the created vacuum sucks that blackhead right out.
Drinking Straw Wrapper Remover.
Okay. Now give me a harder one. :bs:

Hint:
A rarely used or even owned tool for electronics. Most often used in fixing a mistake.
Without one, you'd often go "Damn - now how am I going to fix that?" while with it, "I'll just remove it and put it where it should have been" as opposed to "Dang - I'll have to throw it away and start over".
If no one gets it by midnight, I'll tell you and post a different thingy (or is it spelled "thingie"?)
And for Huff1371: it is not used on cats.

Yep, that's what I was describing. I'm guessing there are probably proprietary ones that vary so you have to buy theirs.
This one linked below is like the one I have seen before.

Correct. It can remove the male or female pins. The sleeve goes down to press in the retaining tabs then the main shaft pushes the pin out. You need a different diameter one for different sizes of pins. I don't find anything proprietary about them. You just need one of the correct diameter.

Wow, that would have made my job in high school so much easier. I would just use a tiny flathead screwdriver to press down the retaining tabs on each side.

A dime!
A spacer or liner inside a connector to protect wires from getting scraped or damaged by the connector.
Crazydood, you're close, but adidasguy is closer. Neither is correct, though.
Adidasguy is on the right track, but not for wires & such.
Maybe I was too nice by using a dime for scale? :D
In a compression fitting for a pipe/tube/hose
Does it go around some sort of glass tube for packing so that it doesn't bump and break?
Adidasguy is closest with his compression fitting idea. I'll call that close enough, because I don't think anyone could guess the actual item.
It is a rubber gasket that stretches to fit around the enclosure of a little clock (think watch-size) allowing it to fit into a decorative enclosure without movement.
It goes on like this:

Good thinking. I can bring it in to show and tell and one of the other window-lickers can help me out.
All wrong so far. Though it is a tool and does remove something.
Hmmm ...the open slot in the side of it looks like its meant to allow a bundle of wires or a cable into the tool..... So.... A tool for tightening/loosening an inline nut with wires/cable in place ... Brake cable to lever perhaps? .. Or like a industrial machine where the wiring bundle runs through a grommet/nut combo ... What it's actual name would be .... Well .... I'm sure those tockleys at ikea could come up with one....
It reminds me of the type of tool kits you find in vw's or bmw's ... 'Zose trickzy Germans!' ;)
I'll give it to you. Close enough.
It is a tool to tighten the nut on a coax connector - like for cable TV.
It was intended to allow tightening and removal of cable TV connectors when they have a security cup around them. But they work for any coax cables since you can slip it over the cable and tighten the connector or take it off.
how often have you been frustrated trying to get your fingers in there to tighten an antenna or cable connector?

Looks like the tool that was used to remove the visor on an old NAVA helmet I had almost 30 years ago so I'm going with visor removal tool as my answer.
a bit driver for furniture? it may not be, but ive a half dozen of those its what i use em for ( also use em to open toilet paper dispensers too )
Tis a 'tool' certainly... And obviously it's a turning tool ... :D .. But no close guesses yet.. I'm kinda surprised no Aussies have got it.. But then they are mostly lads and probably bogans too ... Which makes sense ... They wouldn't be near the equipment that this belongs to that often.......
That's enough of a hint un-asked for!!
Ooooooh this power is addictive ain't it!! :police:
Is it used to hold the wrist strap on a body board?
a tool to adjust a ladies razor? hell i dont know. :dunno_white: :cookoo:
Bahahaha .. That be a hell big razor you thinking of there Yama ... Ok .. Scale of the thing ... Diameter ... 37 mm or 1.5" ... Height 21mm or 7/8" ...
The apparatus it belongs to is kinda an Aussie invention... Though the applications for such a device exist world wide.
The item in the pic would be used infrequently mostly ... Though if it was misters probably weekly cos he all OCD an shaZam!! ;)
...EDIT .. The design is Aussie ... Not the original device
Bung for an esky?
And sorry twisted ... Page change meant i missed your guess ... Yeah it does look like a body board thingy.. But it's not! ... And no not a bung either
Ok going off the bogan reference is is something off a wine cask?
Nah .. Bogan reference was for questionable personal hygiene
Alright hint please
Hmmm ... A direct hint ... Instead of a vague hint ... Ok
The thing the widget belongs to ... In most Aussie backyards .. Well .. Probably in most backyards around the world really........ I mean ... One of these things wouldn't be put in a front yard! .... Just not done!!
That any help?

I'm guessing by the clues it it something off of a clothes line. Maybe a tensioner to keep the line tight?

a magnetic switch?
Well, there is a switch and magnets. Need what it does and where its used.
Not sure , an oscilloscope? ive no idea what it came out of, or perhaps a thermostat of some sort, or an appliance requiring such a switch? really have no idea, just looked like a magnetic switch to me. sorry :embarassed:

Nope. We seem to be singing the wrong tune.

Nope.
The switch to turn on the electric bellows for a pipe organ?
While it is a switch used on a pipe organ, not correct.
Hint: there are more than one of these.
Is it a stop, or more precisely, the switch that turns on/off the stop?
Correct. There is a plastic stop tab fastened to it. It turns a stop on or off or a tremolo or percussion or most anything else.
The two small square magnets actually operate like a spring to keep it "up" or "down". Pols facing each other repel so it works like a spring - clever. The two coils are operated by the preset system ("combination action") and flip the tab up or down when a preset button is pressed.
There are other types of stop tab switches. Some old ones are pneumatic. Some have no preset capability and are just a switch to turn the organ stop on or off.

A sinker for fishing?
a plumb bob?
a weight for a balance?
Weight for hanging lights or banners.
- Bboy
id be surprised if it were a fishing weight, that thing is HUGE compared to the woodgrain in background. hmm scale weight or a plumb bob? idk
I dunno Addy, the wood grain is pretty close up ...
I reckon it's a weight sure enough ... But a 'official measure' weight for calibrating and correcting weighing equipment ... I think it's really small ... So maybe a gram/avoirdupois ounce/Troy ounce ... That kinda thing
It's not a device used for fishing or any sort of measurement (weight, level, etc). It is also not a weight used for hanging pictures or anything else. While it's not a plumb bob, it is designed to hang while serving its purpose.
For size comparison, its circumference is about the size of an adult male's thumbnail.
The wood grain in the background is from my dining room table.

Correct. :cheers: Or more correctly - when the cork accidentally gets push down into your bottle of wine. It lets you pull the cork out before serving.
You stick it into the bottle. When the cork gets between the 3 wires, you push down on the red thingy (everything has a "thingy") so the wires grip the cork then pull it out.
Next time I won't give such obvious hints. :nono:
You were right though, I didn't know it existed... I have seen corks removed from a bottle via a plastic bag, but the bottle must be empty for that.

I thought it was a cat scratching post at first too, until I saw the scale.... You know about Maine Coons right?... they can get nearly as big as the cat in that picture... upto 25lbs I'd say, and probably more if they get overweight. Heck I'm pretty, it was Washington State's Vet Med that held much of the research on the Maine Coon breed and their relation to heart problems.

Looks like some sort of headed sleeve insulator for PCBs or perhaps a radio connector insert.
Is it open on both ends?
Is it tapered? (hard to tell due to camera angles and close up settings)
If open both ends, I'd guess it is an insert into the end of a plastic hose for a compression type fitting. I have some similar things in brass for brass fittings.
Open on both ends. Not tapered. Kiwi is on the right track.
One of those rubber sleeves between hard parts and electrical cords so the cord doesn't kink so much at the base?
oh damn.... wrong track thinking for me then... i thought it was a really clinical buttplug thing... for endoscopy type stuff... stop you clenchin down on the camera tube!

Yes - a wine thingy for thingying the thingies of a wine thingy.
Compress gas wine opener. Needle goes through cork. C02 (press down on the cart.) forces out the cork.
That would make one wicked weapon. Injecting someone with compressed gas? Up the butt - one heck of a fart!
one day, ill post something so simple yet no one will know it ;)
Oh god now I have to go into the shed and find something to use. Bear with me a few hrs lol.
We are waiting - why is it going to take you a few hours to visit your shed?
Cause I said so you can wait so wait
Had a quick rummage round and found this to throw up for now

a countersink bit?
One side is a chamfer/countersink bit, the other is for an external chamfer on something that has a thru or pilot hole... I'm just not sure if it's something more specific/particular.

Your very close it is for a specific task on a specific job but can be adapted to another use but it has a primary use
a countersink bit or a tool used in mounting a kitchen or sink faucet? hell idk. next youll prolly ask me to tell you what vehicle it came out of :technical: lol
Nope not that not even close
It's a case deburring tool.
....I don't even know why I bother looking at this thread, I never have any idea about this stuff! I googled what dam posted above me and I think he's right sooo I might check back at what he posts later :thumb: so I can continue my state of confusion.
maybe a tool to grind/deburr valve seats? hell idk
He got it - googled "case deburring tool"

That was a good one.

I think maybe gaffer knew what it was off the top of his head. Applause for that one though. :thumb:

Made of aluminum I think,....
LOL, I never even tried to look them up before... its extremely archaic for us, but it works for general lab use when we do maintenance on our spectrometers. This one is at least 40 years old, but I guess they sell them for like $30 now :cookoo:
It works within 1% to actual, so we keep it around and use it till it takes its last breath.

Countersink for a number 6 screw?
rust
countersink bit for a ratcheting screwdrive or a drill using multiple bits ?
Nope
Pffft ... Case length trimmer for ammo reloading processes.... Maybe .308 or .30-06 .... Maybe 6.5 x55 Swedish Mauser too (cos I remember someone mentioned it recently and I think it was slips) ... Most likely RCBS brand cos again I think slips likes good gear and not crappy Lee stuff...
That enough?.
Janx has it. And talk about eagle eye it is 6.5x55 Swedish. And shock horror it is lee. I have rcbs scales and press but case trimming is lee and dies are lee as well. I have it on good authority that lee scales and entry level press aren't that crash hot. And no one has really bad mouthed rcbs.
Yay.... ... Lee scales are ok ... Just I found them to be a little trembly and over sensitive to wind currents...
How many different things are you reloading for slips? ...
And of course I noticed the Swedish Mauser thing... I have a 1906 Carl gustav! ... Least memory tells me it's an '06
Just the swede so far I think mine is a 1906 as well Carl Gustav

I've got some old 6.5 ammo you can have if you want it. I don't need it anymore since I got rid of my 6.5
How old?
Not so much about the age of ammo ... But storage conditions .... I reckon mister would store it all very well though..
Now... Not the key in the photos! ... Size reference! ... The other thingy obviously!!

Basically. Yeah ... But I have used ammo I loaded 10 years earlier (according to the loading notes on the sticker) .. Still fine ... Dad has used .303 ammo .. That was stored properly... From 1951 ... About 6 years ago he used it.... Bit stinky when fired cos of old tech 'powder' ... But fine...
More important with other ppl brass though .... Every rifle has its little differences... In the chamber too ... Some reload brass that has been used in a 'long' chamber will get stuck in a shorter/tighter one .. Or the seating depth will let the projectile touch the lands and change things too ... Check this stuff!! .. Gently close the bolt on a round ... If it gets tight before lockup ... Stop and slide it out again... Look to see where it's catching...
Empty brass from someone else is much easier to deal with... You put it into a FLRS (full length re resizer) die ... With a tiny bit of lube so it don't crimp the case .. And presto bingo you have orig size brass!
Yeah k ill take it just wait till my license shows up. Yeah I full length sized my brass when I got my press kit.
You got the 'big' press? .. :thumb:
And for those that don't realise... New pics for guessing above !! .. Several posts now.. Mister started the 'jack!! :flipoff:

scissor sharpener?

why is that?
Looks like something you use to cut some kind of sheet with... like those rollers are there to shear it, and you can see a little slot for whatever gets cut to run through on the one side.
Wrapping paper cutter?
or a fabric cutter?
Looks like one side of a handle from a pair of scissors with the cutting bits missing.
Plastic cutter?
Vinyl cutter?
or specifically a vinyl flooring cutter? hell idk, that damned thign looks so close to many household items, its drivin me batty :cry:
Oh geez.. Sorry for the delay guys.. Been swearing at my bike electrics...
But after careful review... Badot had it first ... Wrapping paper cutter .. That's what it is sold as ... But Xmas paper that's skinny just tears.. Good qual wrapping paper is ok though ... It does also work on vinyl although ya gotta be careful... Really stiff/taut fabric maybe ..
The irony of Yama guess was... It looks like a sharpener kinda.. And scissors cut paper... But this is meant to ... "so velly jorry good! You never to need looking for scissor when lost again! .. Try product with excitement and remain happy for many year of gift preparation" .. Replace scissors ..
I bought it with glee thinking yeeeeeah!! End of my scissor hunting days!! ... But with the Xmas paper I soon gave up and went hunting for scissors!! :oops:

Errr Yama, if your cockrings look like that you shopping the wrong store bud!
But I think the item in question is EITHER ... A urethane bush for suspension component .... Or ... A sleeve thingy for the centre of an outdoor table so the big umbrella thingy don't wiggle around too much!

Close enough. It's a plastic bushing made by Igus. Good stuff. I have a plastic Heim joint on my shift linkage: $6 and holding up to hundreds of shifts per day.
Sorry guys, lazy day yesterday and Internet was kaput at work today... So I dug around the project box and found this ... The first photo is just normal side on .. And I would say the thing is 45 mm x 35mm more or less.. Second photo is probably the angle and aspect you would normally look at this widget.... I had to remove this one cos it was worn and replaced it with an aluminium one in same shape... Soooooo ... Lets go!!...

and the look of the thing... based on the part in the pic.. it'd have to be the biggest badass-est man style industrial can opener ever made!! .. which then begs the question... WHY DONT I HAVE ONE!!! :cheers:

The black disc shaped thing on the right side is rubber. Absolutely nothing to do with a can opener.
You probably wouldn't ever directly touch it or push on any part of it, but it is exposed on the outside.

Um, sort of.... In its intended application, the spherical part is up. But you could possibly use it in the down position.

is it a spray bar which uses air to pull a fluid into the bar to spray out of the tip or nozzles along the bar.. such as soaps for cleaning, or weed killer for on the farm?
Light years off I am afraid - I will raise the clue stakes and say that in general I use a hand held annemometer instead these days.. The pictured item is used along with another piece of kit which I omitted since it would give away too much..

used for ligning up bearings or sprockets? or hinges
OK i am a new guy here and will give another clue..if you fly fish you most likely have one of these. that may give it away.
Dont fly fish but is it used to thread the spool?
it has to do with the line and actual fishing. good guess though!
for those of you that love to google stuff like i do..try blood snell or double nail knot.
lol... ease up oldmech!! ... sometimes its a bit quiet ... dont wanna go giving all your hints away in a couple hours without much guess action! ;) :thumb:
used for tying fishing flies?
yes janx101 you are right..but this a fun game..gets ya thinking
and no this is not for tying flys..down the road a bit.
errr... so ... following from the clues... a mini-portable type jig thingy for assisting you in the joining of the backing to the actual casting line and the casting line tip to the leader/tippet ?? .. i reckon... to make the tracking of the knot and neatness of the knot better .. for those with 'old man' eyes or cold fishing hands ..
still dont know the actual name of the widget ...
and i tie .. or used to when i had the time... all my knots freehand... sure i swear a bit more ... and my eyes can still see ok .. plus .. i had to tie a hell of a lot of knots when practicing my fly fishing.... i'd get carried away and whipcrack the fly off.... 11 in 45 mins was the worst day :icon_rolleyes:

gasket scraper of some sort?
welll... it does scrape .. in fact scraping is an important part of its various tasks... but .. gaskets.. no.... like a gasket possibly .. but organic in nature...
and yes in some countries it would be used on wooden items... however i know more modern items they are made from plastics and polymers ...
in ancient times this tool would have been almost useless .. as the equipment it works with would have been ... irregular shapes ..
there has been another reference to the hobby/industry in this very thread!!
a scraper or tool used in hobbies/woodcrafting? maybe used to remove burrs or edges from joined pieces? or dovetails etc?
hell i cant wait til my turn to post a ball bearing ive got. yall will NEVER be able to guess its use. :icon_twisted:

Not a cutter or fake floppy phallus machine of any sort. Definitely examines thingies. Hint?: Outlet could be hooked up to a mass spectrometer if you wanted to analyze the gas composition...not much of a hint, but I'll feed more as the thread wears on.
Graham :2guns:
Ok, in a pathology lab you get a real think glass tube that uses capillary action to draw up blood, then insert said tube into small opening. A blood gas machine. But I don't see the insertion point. So.... a machine to photograph slides.
Laser to vaporize samples and read the resulting stuff for analysis.
Nitrogen cools the laser.
ESPRESSO MACHINE! :woohoo:
some kind of small electron microscope?
Adidas is close, no laser and the machine is not so concerned with what comes off specifically. Heat is involved however.

Oil analysis machine?

nope, nope. weight is involved. highly specific device. i work in the lab and i didnt have a clue as to what it did for months.

no lasers. I'll give a huge hint mid day tomorrow.

Ok I'll tell you exactly what it does, you tell me what it is. There is a microgram balance that a sample is placed on. It is installed into the reactor which heats it up in controlled heating regimes, and the scale picks up small changes in the weight. With the data you can generate weight as a function of time and temperature which can be used to model the decay of said sample in the real world.

It does carry some pretty reasonable high power - but what does it actually do?

They did run a little hot and needed a heat sink - forced water cooling - you cannot see the bottom half... here are the entire units..

well i gave it the old college try. did like janx rap version also.! :cheers:
I have to admit I was going to give Janx some bonus points myself :thumb:
You were close with "power transformer" - lets say the new units use thyristors
industrial sized inverter?
Close enough Janx - since you had the bonus points from earlier...
It is a mercury arc valve rectifier - just decomissioned pole 1 here in Haywards and Benmore power stations. basic gist is convert from AC to DC and transmit DC at about 275kV over a long distance and convert back again.
These puppies were replaced with some seriously large thyristor banks (3 of them at 17 tonnes suspended from the ceiling) and three huge transformers (330 tonnes each) - 1200MW capacity..
The old pole 1 had four valve halls, each valve hall contained seven ASEA type JREV/ 31 or equivalent arc valve assemblies. 4 cathodes per assembly, 2.6L of mercury per assembly. A lot of mercury... and a huge amount of maintenance..

neat, use the same idea on the aircraft i work on. engines have 30 kva variable frequency ac generators and some of that power is run through TRU"s (transformer rectifier units) to make straight line 28vdc.
Heres a blast for anyone that hasnt seen one - picked up an old Yaesu frequency counter for $20 the other day.. going to make myself a clock..

Lever cap for a hand wood working plane?
geeez.... tricky .. strictly speaking Kiwi is right .. cos 'Jack Plane' is http://www.record-planes.com/ this kinda dealy .. whereas the plate is actually off... http://www.diylife.com/2010/02/09/carpenters-pick-block-planes/ .. these ones almost identically ..
can you 2 come to a gentlemans agreement on this or something?? ... mind you a 'bit of biffo' would be fun too... but might get Addys thread "farmed" ..
my thing with the ruling on the ident is that yeah a lot of people call all those type of planes 'jack planes' .. but a serious woodworker (which i am not .. not really) would pick the point apart .. which i wasnt trying to do but seem to be succeeding at?! ..
:confused:

Plunger switch of some sort for mounting into timber?
safety switch for electric equipment doors opening?... err i mean... eg... the one on my washing machine that senses when the lid gets opened and stops the machine really quick so kiddies or fools dont get hurt!?

It DOES mount into wood, or into a plastic housing. I should mention that the little white peice on the end doesn't move, but the silver ring around it is magnetic.
ahh ok.. so .. something closes against the plastic nub .. the ring slips out to magnet itself to a 'striker' plate .. and something inside moves to tell something else that ''the door" is shut and machinery safe to operate?

Wrong and wrong.
I still recon its a brake pad
No. Nope. Wrong. Ain't a brake pad. El wrongo.
Is it some sort of holy stone? For grinding concrete?
I know I have seen that before somewhere but cannot for the life of me remember? Bunnings maybe?

I remember Yama gloating the other week .. for when it was his turn.. had a big ass ball bearing, but was going to require WHAT it was FROM!! ..
now i would be guessing... a road bridge turntable bearing... you know those swing/swivel 90 degrees type bridges.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_bridge

partially correct. now what was it from/used for. :thumb: also the item that it is sitting on is also used by it
One half a set of Ben Wa balls and the tube used to insert said balls
clues will be very vague further out n( beginning now) key date is 1977 key name is westinghouse :embarassed:
Bearing from an AWAC off a Boeing E3?
negative. next set of clues. ( 3 locations) hanford WA, Los Alamos NM, Oak ridge Tn
That would mean a bearing from a reactor generator? or turbine?
Yama has a radioactive Ball?.... lol.... you use that thing as a night light?? ;) ...
"hey baby!!! come check out my glowing balls!!" .. lmao!
Ball Bearing from The United States Department of Energy National Laboratories and Technology Center

partially correct my friend. a reactor....( what) ive one final clue for the most part. although it should wait until maybe tomorrow. because a MAJOR is within that illustration. and no it isnt radioactive. ( was never put into service. ) grandfather kinda snagged it off a parts shelf :oops: he was an acct. back in the day @ this place.
A bit off a control rod for the reactor?
naah just a tad above that. ;)
Look in Australia we consider nuclear reactors the work of the devil ever since the Russians screwed up so my final guess is part of the big heavy tiles that go ontop of the reactor.

... we do??.... :dunno_black: ... maybe you do!! :flipoff:
personally i think Lithgow is the perfect place for an Aussie Reactor!!! .. emergencies included!!
but .. that white thing under the ball ... is it a thingy-widget weight for flow control of steam in a pipe leading from the reactor?....
cos as i understand it the 'noo-klee-arrs' are only used to superheat water into steam .. which then drives a turbine to generate eleck-trickery!!
those two pieces work as a system/together. a bearing and spacer if you will
Hey I'm all for having nuclear power down under we got heaps of space out back to dump all the waste.

Yea like Pine Gap. Nothing good goes on there :dunno_white:
Ok like the very top of the reactor where like the heavy tile things are to keep it all contained?
Would it be something like part of a non return ball valve assembly for cooling water? hanford WA, Los Alamos NM, Oak ridge Tn were all sites also used for the Manhatten project...
that is true. but this was post manhattan. there was a type of reactor or this part was used in these locations. heres a diagram of the structure. ;)

wanting to say this thing is 2.5" in diameter. if not 3". calipers are at shop though. anyhoo the drawing is from a schematic from the site. ( Oak ridge tn area) and contains MAJOR clues ;)
So whats happening? Is there any winner? Seems to have evolved in to a discussion of nukes.
you and slips adidas were essentially tied for being closest. normally the google is your friend here. ( specially in this game. but ill be damned if the only pictures of this item i can find, are dra2wings from a 1970s era document. on pdf the answer IS on the base, ( what it is and goes to etc. ) a bit of background information. this came from essentially a site ( a nuclear plant in the oak ridge area) reactor was more or less modeled after hanford. the initials of the project is CRBRP ( btw it ( item) was never inservice. there were some uses of it to perform a scram ( a hopper of these type balls which would shut down the process if the rods decided not to work or got stuck. this item however was structural or mechanical in nature allowing a process to happen. in a distant way it IS involved with the fuel rods. but not directly. im glowing in anticipation, ill pick closest winner if no one hits it tonight by midnight.
Closer head assembly bearing.
Or
Steam turbine bearing.
Lets see,
CRBRP - Clinch River Breeder reactor project
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinch_River_Breeder_Reactor_Project (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinch_River_Breeder_Reactor_Project)
Some more details on how it was to work
http://www.osti.gov/bridge/servlets/purl/4311171-5DbhpR/4311171.pdf (http://www.osti.gov/bridge/servlets/purl/4311171-5DbhpR/4311171.pdf)
The boron carbide balls they would have used for a scram (entered via gravity) are normally marble sized, and I would have assumed would be much duller than the much larger sphere you have a photo of.. The only other material would be Silver-indium-cadmium which would have been available back in 1977..
So I would guess it may be part of the assembly for introducing the liquid sodium into the system?
I have worked on most other types of power stations here, but we are nuclear free in this country...
Good luck to anyone who can guess it..

pliskin got it. it is a reactor vessel closure head bearing and spacer. ( i was guessing on the size of the scram setup. i was reading through pdfs for hours.
heres a picture of it with label

On a side note a "revolving nosepiece object" sounds cool :D I could really use one of those for those really hard to reach boogers.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. Paulcet is next. It is a COAX stripper. Quality tool made in the good ol' USA. Put a piece of cable in and put your finger in the ring and twist it around a couple time and the 2 razors cut and strip it perfectly ready for crimping an end on. I used them back in the day when I did IBM mainframe support. The dump terminals, as they where called, where connected with COAX (like your cable TV) instead of the CAT5 RJ45 cable used in networking today.

Temperature sensor
02 sensor
or
Turbo blow-off/bypass or pressure release valve.
no and no.
Some kind of special spark plug?
not a spark plug. and to help out it is not a sensor,switch, or valve.
One side has an oily connection. Other side is dry......
Cable pass through?
or gas nozzle thingy?
the oily looking part is probabley from a little antiseize that was put on the threads. these rarley ever get used in the system they are installed in and if they do you are having a bad day.
like i said it is not a switch,sensor, valve, and now nozzle. but it does have an electical connection.
hint 28 volts dc. :cool:

Is a fuse?
no it is not a fuse..but it is an aircraft part,hence the 28 vdc which it operates off of.
if it does get voltage to it..it will only work once.
One of these?

not it but on the right track,
here is an round about clue, value jet.
Oxygen generator firing pin!
sorry should not have sent you down the value jet road. not a o2 gen part. like i said it was a round about clue,not an exact one. what happened there?
you where very close on your last reply. the last part of your answer was partially correct.
dont feel bad some of the stuff you guys put up i never new existed.
sorry when i said "what happened there?" i meant to add to the value jet plane. o2 gens yes, but what did they do?
Metering thing for how much fuel to pump in the afterburner
LOL!! no not that technical. those are pretty much add fuel soleniod valves and its all on!!
google usairways 767 catastrophic engine failure in philly. will give a few clues.
i dont mind giving clues to what i post as a challenge..have more fun guessing what you all put up.
Thats an inductive proximity sensor Pliskin - you can also get capacitive ones - standard issue for industrial control systems..
OldMech - my guess would be a door opening actuator firing pin?

we call them a speed sensor or mag pick up. the generator control unit needs to know the gen is turning to do its stuff.
ok last clue since it is 10 pm almost here..yea i am an old fart that needs his sleep. it is a pyrotechnic device. used in an aircraft system for when things go very bad and it has a one time use. sorry for the value jet reference..newer aircraft may have this system installed in the baggage compartments. but this system has been installed on engines for years.
used to dump fuel?

yes it has everthing to do with fire exstinguishing and fire bottles.. and yes it #6 in the picture. thats a style i have not seen for a while with a single lead, it gets its ground through the unit and bottle. the on i posted has 2 contact pins one for power and one for ground.
all very close!!

It's the actuator?

Expensive scented Candles
The little round thing look like the ones that expand when soaked in water?
I got no feckin idea?
So... glass, plastic, or rubber?
No, no, no, and no. They are all the same ting just different sizes but they are all small.
Wire drawing dies?
Wheels or rollers.
beads?
No
Hint:
Very good thermal conductivity.
still do not know what they are. but are they made of ceramic?
No these are not made of ceramic but some are.
Hardness of 2300 HV
Compression strength 2100 mpa
Women love them
Lets see - with those specs it could be either Sapphire or Ruby - some sort of Jewel bearing assembly?
They look more 'industrial' than jewelry to me...
Are they used as some kind of electrical insulator that transfers heat quickly?
You can get custom whittled jewelled bearings, and instrument parts made from industrial ruby / diamond / sapphire etc. We used to get orifice plates made that used Sapphire since they dont wear down very quickly.. material looks the same

sapphire water jets
You nailed it. They are used in the nozzle of high pressure water jet cutter/driller. It's amazing what these thing can cut trough. I use one a long time ago for cutting Kevlar and other armor plating used in military applications. The jewel orifice (ruby or sapphire) embedded into one of these and is part of the head.

Is a laser bell? Or laser related?
Is it an injection mold?
That must have been too easy.. I will hunt through my work files a bit harder next time.. we call them a laser pump over this side of the world, but a bit of internet browsing shows they can be referred to as a bell since they resonate the laser charge.
You are up Pliskin :cheers:
No not to easy. It's just that the same place I worked with a water jet I also worked with lasers (cutting, welding, and heat treating). The largest was as big as a car. If I remember correctly it was a 5000 kilowatt. You might know what this is. I used a laser to cut these.

It does look like that doesn't it. But no.
Tuning knob?
hrmmm... it reminded me of something else too... but it looked wrong... then i thought about what was and wasnt there...
not a part of a injection molder to make car air vent swivelly thingys?
Nope
almost looks like a handle for a precision tool. but no
can we get a scale or size reference/estimate?
Approximately 40mm diameter
hmmm.. dunno why but i thought about that size anyway...
one of those steering wheel spinny knob things... like they use on forklifts or for old people/disable drivers??
Ah, I see why you would say that. But no.
no clue whatsoever. maybe pliskin or oldmech or adidas has some idea 40mm is quite large was thinking part of an antenna/antennae assy.
I think it is made of vinyl.
It is porcelain. A porcelain thingy?
that looks very familiar..just can not place it :dunno_black:
Non-industrial, used at home.
is it the ornamental thingy on the end of a curtain rod?
and/or a shower curtain?
An attachment. For personal use.
i dont have much hair left so i am not totally correct on the name. but is it hair dryer diffuser?

OH, I was giving it to Addy. Close enough.
A massage thingy? Is it one of the knobs inside of a massage chair that spins and goes up and down?
Yes. Adidasguy has it. You're up Patrick!

I'm kind of glad he got it. It looked so familiar yet so far out of reach. So paulet, what the story? How did you come about such a device? Wait, I don't want to know :whisper:

Nope.

Nope.

Wheel bearing/axle spacer?
Weights for a balance beam scale
hmmm .. similar to addy .. but
'axle' spacer and drive lock-in thingy for a goped type machine ... goes over rear axle/engine shaft and the offset hole is used to secure it to the front or rear cog ... ??
no not goped related nor a spacer or bearing. it is mechanical in nature as part of its function. but not to a machine errm not to a gasoline/petrol/diesel type of machine.
hrrrm... would say heavy calibre silencer baffles but the extra hole wrecks the concept...
something for a metal lathe ... or a heavy drill press .. or a stamping press ...
hmmmm .. something for that printing press of yours!!...
the thingywhatsit part!! :D
a press yes. but not drill or stamping these are less than an inch in diameter
ooooooooo k.... so.. assuming you aint being too sneaky .. and the underside of those widgets is same as top side.. and their is no other hidden keyway or grub screw for securing against rotation... hmmmm
a travel stop 'shim/washer' /s for your printing press .. used possibly in conjunction with a rubber 'washer' also... to control how far the typeface plate moves either on its print or ink phase ?... if that makes 'propuh sents' ;)
Watch back press
heading in the right general area cods. but not watches. it could be defined as a press of sorts. but not for watch casebacks. those that i have are a white almost plastic type material. these are a dense steel. what it presses will give long before it does
press die or wire extruder.
Not some sort of custom made die for reloading?
not for extruding in a sense. its used in a rotary fashion ( same way its shown) clockwise or anticlockwise. will be a fairly major clue tonight
This is too much thinking this early in the morning haha
Some type of sizing die that you press over the part?
10k-14k-18k .925 reversed it makes patterns too.

Lighter fluid or hair spray works as a propellent. Just jam a potato in the end for a tight fit. Potato's turn into mashed potato's when they impact.
Used in railways but its mainly the purpose it's used for the job it performs gives the biggest clue to what it is
Yup ive used that before. but so many times, ( like on the goped) id get aggrivated, BP thru roof, and yell out "START YA BASTARD" weve got similar stuff in us, but not called that :technical:

On the right track Yamma it when fully installed it prevents movement
vertical or horizontal?
Rotational
Reminds me of truss plates.
is it an oversized lock washer/tab device for a bolt?
Old mech has it. It's known as a lock tab tab plate. When a bearing is I installed onto the wheel set the bolts go into the three holes and when they are torqued the tabs are bent up onto the sides of the head of the bolt to stop them undoing.
here is the next one. there are Phillips screws, straight slot,torx, and many others. what kind is this? even though it has a hex head also like a bolt. it is still considered a screw since it has no grip area and threads all the way up.

hrrrrm... i'd be really really REALLY careful with the carbide Yama... mainly because X amount of crystals + Y amount of water over Z time well yeah makes acetylene gas .. but i'm thinking loading the mix into the breech then loading the ammo... all takes variable time... and.. more time = more gas? .. unless really small quantities of carbide .. ?? ... a spud gun/orange gun etc .. mostly made from pvc pipe... and handheld .. i've seen a photo of a breech blowout just from ether spray overload, lad had 15 shards of pvc removed from his abdomen/chest area... an overload of acetylene and your reference to small bomb... errr i dunno about holding that!! .. unless you also have a remote (10yard?) sparker and handy wall to duck behind...
even the ether/hairspray/fuel versions are a recipe for disaster pretty much always (but we test our luck many times eh!!) .. just the calculation of charge for FUN vs OOPS is a delicate area ;) :D
We used to duct tape some tennis ball cans together and launch tennis balls using lighter fluid. A little safer than PVC because the cans would come apart before enough pressure builds to make it go boom.
:thumb: .... although i think in all cases of tennisball/potato/orange launching... SAFE and SAFER is a rather flexible term... :D
could always laod gun thru firing hole ( flame port) err load projectile then water thru small firing hole. idk will see.

You tend to notice these things.. the M13 link has an unusual profile, I have some tracer ammo in d-link which doesn't have the hole.

Well, I have a bunch of that aluminum stock with the exact same hole drilled into it. My pieces are longer. They are aluminum file cabinet lock bars. Looks like you cut a piece and made a tool from it. I used a piece to make a spoke wrench that looks almost like your pic. But your notched ends are to large for spokes. Am I close?
It is a semi custom whittled tool - I did buy it, some time ago.. the hole isnt really the useful part.
Is it a tool used to tune a piano?
not even close.. think electronics, and this tool is not used often anymore
dRAM lever out-erer thingy?
I do have an IC remover, but no, not this tool.

To make neutrons, the tube would have to produce emissions in the million-electron-volts range. The X-rays are a byproduct. But the tube in the pic can only operate in the thousands of volts, so not a neutron generator.

This guess wasn't exactly correct, but close enough. If I had rejected your guess, then the guesses would get farther off base... Cathode rays are rays of electrons. These "rays" (electrons moving in a straight line) excite phosphors on the face of CRTs to produce visible images. The X-ray tube in the pic does emit electrons over a very short distance (from the small round part on the arm above the rotor) to the rotor, then light of very short wavelength is emitted from the metal in the rotor. The electrons have pretty well crashed at that point.

Addy got in first - it is indeed a motor thingy out of an old floppy drive - although Paulcet is more technically correct in that it is the stator out of a brushless motor.

No, not a plotter tip or screw driver. The cross cuts in the threaded part is to let air in. The needle slides in through the threaded end. Along those lines, I've left some typo's on my reply's that are clues. Maybe they will help you connect the dots.

Yes, used in drafting before computers aided drafting.

the .50 device is this the ink or lead holder, and the metalpart, the pivot point? ( getting closer to guessing)

[attachment deleted by admin]
Earth strap
EMI shield for wires
Nope and uh-uh no.
Looks like bare copper stranded wire used for grounding.

Nope.
It is small - and comes in various sizes depending on where you use it.

Solder wick it is! Comes in many different sides - tiny for IC pin holes and bigger for bigger stuff.
I don't use it that often these days - but is great for taking older equipment apart..
Just used some of these on a roading project.. and for some wierd reason I cannot get it to display the correct rotation (rotate CW 90 degress to get normal mounting orientation.

As a jpg, it is not the correct dimension to be rotated (I think a multiple of 4 pixels each way, or 8 ) so it was trimmed automatically when ThumbsPlus rotated it.

Can you guess the application on a road? It is a very specific type of "photo eye" - normally 2 or 4 of these are used for a single installation...

not toll or ANPR related, nor is it DOAS / gas monitoring related... something very convoluted but necessary for a project we had a while back.. a tunnel project, but this device is miles away from the tunnel.

Good one Janx - it is a SICK optical HISIC 450 overheight sensor - frickin expensive gadgets.. we also have then integrated to existing big display signs to tell the trucks to take the next convienent exit.. we installed these here to prevent "accidents" from happening during a temporary works phase..
Our version also has barriers that close the motorway / freeway approach to the tunnel.
You're up :cheers:

Shake cap for spices?
an exhaust baffle of some sort?
ok.. sorry for the lo-res image... built in cybercam on laptop screen ..
the black stuff is actually surface rust .. :icon_rolleyes:
Badot is getting close with his shake cap for spices idea...
but it is 'vehicular transport' related ..
... you all might be annoyed when you realise/find out .. :D ;)
it is the cap from a tire..sorry, a "Tyre" tube repair kit. had to use the proper spelling for ya janx. :D
the shaker looking part is to scuff up the rubber on the tube.
:thumb: ... Yes!!! .... #1 velly good quarity ty-ah lepair kit... Onry 2 dorrar! ... Lmao
It sucks to use... But that's it!!
I wish they would bring back the old school vulcanising patch repair kits.. Little mini vies/clamp widget... And the patches on little metal discs ... Rubber patch on one side and a kind of matchstick/phosphorus tab on the other side....
Clamp disc in place over hole.... Strike the little rough head pin thingy against the 'match bit' ... Pshshshshwshwshwssh!!! ..... Let it cool and remove clamp!! ... Awesome fun.... Bit stinky though!!

An old style LED display
No it's not an LED. It is electronic in nature. It's part of a very well know fictional item. The item pictured is a working replica of the fictional item.
Star Trek phaser?
Looks like an old style 7 segment (or 11 or 13) LED 6 character display.

I would love a working (functional) replica of a Star Trek Phaser.. Did you see the one that sold recently? $230k..
Thought this was LEDs too - am still pondering.. but lunchtime is time to install my handlebar risers that took 50 hours to get here from RI.

Its about half of a cheapish one here, even considering the exchange rate.. Still pretty pricy for a prop from the original series.
prices gone up that much? 300k was the going rate for the average home when the wife and i lived there in 2005.
shame.

Average price is NZ$420k, but a lot of sales are in the NZ$700-900k range (or more for some areas)
It is seen as a big problem here now for first home buyers - a lot of speculators bought up large about 10 years ago, and we have only really large developments happening in Christchurch (post quake) and Auckland.
dang didnt think it had gone that far. when i was there alot of POMs where escaping the uk with there pounds sterling along with the japanese where bying up alot of stuff./buying power. guess it snowballed so to speak. lots of power companies over here dude. sell out and make a mint. the us is kinda screwed up but ok if you find a small town like i did.

Badot nailed it but of he wants to hand it off to Oldmech it's ok with me. It is the power switch on a Master Replicas Force FX Darth Vader Lightsaber.
Actually, I think adidas was kind of right as well. The lightsabers used in the Star Wars movies where made from a old camera graflex (flash holder) and the switch I believe was an old LED lens. They made these lightsabers out of a bunch of real life junk.

Cartoon character? Probably gonna be a transformer. Optimus prime is the only one off the top of my head with blue, but I was never too into it.
You are the man. It's the legs of Opitmus Prime. Don't lie, I know you are into transformers if you know this??? Did you link surf?

How many cartoon characters have wheels? Then optimus prime is basically the main character, right?
And now that I actually look at it you can see the two closely spaced 'axles' so more of a hint it's a semi.

Knowing where I ride and since I took the picture, someone should be clever enough to figure it out.

theatre yes/. fox no. not far from my home. for concerts, plAYS, etc this was right after a show began. it is ornate, the lights make it look almost acid trippish colourwise lol

Sumerset Center
no sir. well ill be obvious. so game can move on. name of facility shares a name with a local city ;)
Probably something like Nashville Theater or something.

Easy. Lets get the game going again.
Kind of easy to know what it is but what is it used on/for?

Yes - CO2 line to charge a PCP pellet air gun. ONLY for CO2 - not air as at 3000 psi you need a bleeder valve or you can't remove it when used for air.
You win!
btw the pic i had posted was of the tennessee theatre in knoxville :) guess i gotta find interesting things to post. anyhoo looking forward to next pic :)

Hint: It goes somewhere on a gs500.
Plastic push rivet you cut off
The plastic cap on the side of the frame. The one to get at the bolt on the rear shock.
Sure does look like one of those plastic retainers that come off the faring.
Definitely not off a fairing, I have an E model. Not a plug for the rear shock bolt. If you want a hint on how big it is, look at my previous items for this game... most of them had their pictures taken on the same mouse pad.
One of the plugs that are in the bolts that hold the handlebars on?
Nope. Note the shinyness.
Cam chain tensioner plug.

well kiwi i will have to say every time you post something i have to say, " wtf is that".
i will guess even though i do not have a clue :D
is it a reset button or circut breaker of sorts?
Not electrical as such - is reasonably common, but not many people glimpse them.

It is used for communications of all sorts - phones, ethernet, others..
i remember the phone set up was a bit different in NZ than here in the states.
would this be a splitter. if no i will give it a rest and see who knows what it is and get an education. :wink:
Not a splitter - will see if anyone gets it - will throw in some more clues after a few hours.

Always good to learn these new things.. I think SC stands for "simple connector" - But I always remember "square connector", but then you have ST, LC, PC, FC and a s**tload of others that never get used..
Fibre optics are also really good for substations and other facilities where large faults could cause meltdowns on comms circuits - fibre optic glass doesnt carry power and can be run with any voltage cables with no interference..

Not really, except it is used in the industry myself and cods are part of. but not directly.
Templates for marking out watch faces... Or repairing the marks/thingies on watch faces?
Hate to admit this yama but I have no idea what those are...............although they do look similar to the drill templates we used? :dunno_black:
Only relation to watches is if it was stoned . stoned being the key word. whether watches or jewelry or whatnot ;) will log in and check later.
Aaron
Marking templates for lapidary shapes.... Errr ... You gets your rock/gem slab and places the template over it... Uses an aluminium 'pencil' to mark the outline then can wet grind or 'lap' down to the line for basic shape.... After that you can start to facet a gem or continue to wet grind a rock to make it all purty like!!
... I reckon..... Did about 2 years of lapidary in my young teens... But our templates were bigger than that

It does goe in a rack - can you be a tiny bit more specific? bonus points if you can give me its proper name (which is also how it works)
not gonna bs you here.., i took a wag at this one. i knew it was a rack connector of sorts. but the specific type? i would call that a modular style. most of the ones i deal with are made of shall we say more harder material and are bolted into racks for all the funny black boxes on airplanes to plug into. not totally familiar with this style.
You are likely to be the only person to have used something anything like it. It is an "Insulation Displacement Connector" or IDC for short. It is used in telco comms racks to provide easy cross patching between cables and cards into multiplexers. Cables terminate on top, jumper wire on the bottom.
Replaced wire wrap (although we still have clients with that too.. )
You are up - :thumb:
ahhh.. an industrial sized audio integrating system connector of sorts! i am used to a box with three 50 pin connectors on it that does all the passenger address, communications and crew interphone routing in the comm system. it has a simple name. an reu..remote electronics unit. works great till something fries and you get to here the comms through the passenger address and the interphone for the crews through the comms when you are not supposed to.
late here and will post something tomorrow, have to get up at 4 am for work.

it looks a little like a safety latch/hook that filing cabinet drawers.. or more specifically the runners/sliders of the drawers.. use to prevent over extension and falling of drawer to floor.. but the orientation is wrong... and they dont usually have a stamp/brand in them that needs to be hidden by some tape!!

a lock for suitcase? errm key?
anyhoo back to exile. take care guys :)
is it a part for a sewing or embroidering machine?
It would almost be part of a helmet chin strap if it had a loop on the other end.

Sure looks like one for a 10/22 Ruger. Butler Creek Steel Lips I believe? Not that I have any knowledge of these things....
Yama I would've given it to you but I was looking for a more accurate description and Adidas got closer before I could respond.
I'll give it to you Adidas, even though you called it a "clip" - lol.
Inside of a Ruger BX-25 magazine. It's the only one that can be disassembled as far as I know.
You're up Adidas.
Well, the package says "clip two together for added fire power" so "clip" is used in some of the packaging!
Champion makes one with a clean-out door on the bottom. Don't know if it completely comes apart. I'd have to look at one.

My guess is it's 9mm or 380
Possibly either Tula brand or some other Russian manufacturer
I believe PPU 380 auto
Yama: It is your turn, though if y ou want you can pass to Kiojojijjojainnnaaa as he was really close as to caliber.
Also known as Prvi Partizan who makes Monarch ammunition which is available at Academy Sports & Outdoors I assume yours was brass as it appears the steel comes in cheaper holders
Friend's 380 box that was left in my air gun bag.
Kijo - you're up.
OK here's a new one

Coil to push up the flint in a Zippo-type lighter?
Only the best for me
It's from a 1934 model Zippo which is extremely rare
Can't beat Zippos you're up W79
I used a Zippo too when I still smoked. Still have it lying around somewhere...
11 years without the damn things now, and happy for it :icon_mrgreen:

Looks like part of a pen
Wait no its definitely a nozzle/sprayer of some kind but I can't place it
Not a moving part of a pen (or anything else for that matter)
and not a nozzle...
Good, this is my first ever picture for this game and I was afraid someone would guess it on the first try.
That can happen of course: if you use these, you'll just recognize it, like I did with the flint-coil. :laugh:

Grrr uhhh
It looks very familiar
Is it actually brass or just brass colored
Brass.
Except for what's in the little hole in the middle.
It's too early in the morning for this crap lol I'm going to sleep Goodnight guys Maybe I'll give it another try in the morning
Morning over here ;)
goodnight, Kijona.
a weight of some sort?
No weight either.
Hint #1: the picture's a bit out of focus because the thing is very small.
Only a few mm in diameter.
not a projectile is it? would think not since youre in europe and guns and parts arent as easily obtained
Nope, but it's called a bullet because of it's shape.
Actual function is completely different though.
Hint #2: when you buy them, there's something else attached to the hole in the middle.
This is just a small part.
Does the hole go all the way through?
It does.
Is it considered a weight, or used in building or enginnering or perhaps plumbing? ive seen these, but for the life of me i cannot remember what its used for. 79 you picked a good one lol
Hint #3: I have six of them.
Most people will buy them six at the time.
rollers of sorts
Wheel spoke weight

Is is used in application where heat is a factor?
Part of a guitar string perhaps
I know nothing about guitars lol
Kijona's got it: these bullets hold guitar strings in place in the bridge. They're made by Fender specifically for their stratocaster tremelo bridges.
When you apply the tremelo, you basically wobble the bridge back and forward, shortening and lenghtening the strings causing the pitch to go up or down. Typical guitar strings start with a little o-ring. These can twist under stress, causing a sudden drop in pitch.
Since the bullets are designed so they'll fit perfectly into the bridge shafts, this issue is resolved. :thumb:
Here's a link with some more pictures.

almost looks like the key that opens a paper towel or toilet paper dispenser.
Kill switch key from a jet ski, 4 wheeler, or other motorized vehicle?
It's a key Kind of It's also a tool Has a VERY specific use, and can only be used for that one purpose
The size of the square portion is approximately 12mm x 12mm

Not quite It's made out of soft, flexible plastic The rounded portion is paper thin at the tip almost like a wedge
It's designed to slipped between one object and another so that the pressure is relieved allowing an object to be removed
To give you a better idea of its size, the square portion is roughly the size of your thumbnail
Some kind of circuit breaker?
phone / small electronics case dissasembly tool for a brand specific device? I have a wider version of something similar for laptops..

Some kind of thing to release the plastic tabs that hold molded covers on.
Oh wait, is it used to push ribbon cables into the socket?
Here's another hint: it's part of a gun accessory
Don't have any accesories that use that sort of tool - blade / rear sight removal tool of some sort?

You're right on top of it but I don't think you have it yet
It is designed to compress a spring
It is a tool used to modify an aftermarket add-on/replacement accessory - it comes with the aforementioned accessory
You know how certain companies make a wide array of one type of accessory for many types of guns but require a proprietary item along with it - it's like that, mostly

Your turn :thumb:
Edit - I got the photo via a work mate here - his father had a pacemaker swapped out - he is an engineering sort, and they let him keep it.
Ill be damned mate, welcome to the hardly ever see it club. we're a small group :cheers:
I've never seen one. Seriously, that was a pure off the wall guess. Something about the plastic fitting thing on top made me think of it. After the fact (the next day) I looked up pacemaker and low and behold, there was a picture of some that look similar. My brother had his replace a couple years ago and they let him keep the old one. I'm going to ask him to see it.
Now, I'm gonna find something really hard for the next pic.
was thinking internal after a while cause of the two fittings @ the bottom
If they let him keep the old one, it will probably be all wrapped up like this one was. Amazing little devices, probably could have done with one this morning on the way in when I had a muppet change lane <1m from the lane to the left of me to my lane with no indication... ah, must be Friday :cheers:

OldMech - you are close - it is a switch of sorts...
EDIT: here is a clue - it is designed to stop something from happening by doing something that happens on your GS500 (both cylinders)
EDIT2: another clue - it has been replaced by a TVS in modern "non stone age" systems
would it be a voltage suppressor/surge protector?
It is indeed - spark gap arrestor - been replaced by semiconductors these days, but the old ones work fine - use an inert gas and depending on the spacing of the electrodes can save your precious control equipment from being destroyed..
These ones were still in service - preventing unwanted 200kV signals making it out of a substation to an adjacent timber mill.

Lol... No not a tube cap .. When I was rummaging though a old box at work (one of those multi thing boxes a bloke just has to get from the auctions for $5 cos it looks too much 'good stuff' ;) ) ... I found the thing ... I had it in my hands and still took me about a min to work it all out!! ... Then I was .... Ohhhhh ! I gotta get me one of these!! Oh wait .. I did! :thumb:
In use ... The bent bar 'cross piece' stays still while the round bit revolves ... I might even have to do a short video on the laptop to demo it after ident has been achieved ... Or youse give up....
I would add .... I have never seen this setup before ... But I think now that its possibly the most 'elegant' way of setting it up in that size range! :thumb:

no not a coffee grinder ...
... and a bone eh? ... well ... in the lower pic .. that random sliver of metal in the lower half of the thingy ... its quite a bit longer than the bit you see sticking across .. could say it coils around a bit .. hmmm?

That's close enough for me ... Because it isn't part of .... That's what it is! .... :thumb:
It's sort of a different approach to the whole retracting tape measure ... You pull up the end (the s l i ver/ strip of metal bit) which then angles up and out under the cross bar bit ... Instead of a spring which tightens as you pull the tape out .. The tape is the spring ... It holds itself tight against the containing wall.... But spools up for small size and not getting broken ... It's not auto retract , you hold the cross bar and spin the drum to extend or retract the steel tape .. But it doesn't slip and go bzzzzzshshshshshshshspppppp back into the case when you don't want it to ... You wind out how much you want and measure against it..... Then you wind it back in .. :bowdown:
I have no idea where/who designed it... I just found it in a box....
I'll do a 30 -60 second video on its operation during the week at the office.... In case anyone looks at me trying to describe it and goes :confused:

Well it looks like an expensive servo motor of some sort with that 19 point MIL connector. No idea of function - flap control for an aircraft?
Looks like a winch?
Possibly fitted to steering?
well coda described it in a round about way but kiwi nailed it! yep its an auto pilot servo for the elevators. and yes those little buggers are expensive!
your up kiwi :thumb:
Coda - if you have something you want to post - go for it - might be a bit slow finding something here at the moment..
OldMech - snow on the hills here this morning, southerly gales as promised.. fun ride in..
here in the states a southerly wind is a warm one that comes up from mexico. first one i encountered in nz felt like someone opened the freezer door!

reset/problem warning transmitter .. automated... for a substation?....that can also accept a signal to close breakers again... maybe? ... i figure?
if it is.. i always vaguely wondered about how do they know when something goes boom/pop .. and or how the reset worked... i mean without 'old mate' driving over to poke it with a stick?
Not a circuit breaker - think what else high voltage wires can be used for.. think coat hanger.. car..
Radio Transmitter?
Quote from: codajastal on May 27, 2013, 11:43:52 PM
Radio Transmitter?
Well - I will give you the title - it is a Power Line Carrier - IE SSB radio that gets a signal jammed down the overhead wires to emerge at the other end. The round red thing is a line trap (inductor) and there are a few other sundry items required.
I hear they still use these over long distances in Russia - we are finally removing them here..
Can use them for voice services (there is a handset that plugs into the cabinet) or really really low baud rate modems (2400 baud max)
... but you said it was a radio transmitter after the photo.... :icon_rolleyes: .. then cods said radio transmitter .. without specifics .. and then....

'we' - that sounds an awful lot like 'volunteering'..
Last summer was great over Christmas - if you go up north (avoid since thats where all the Aucklanders go) - you can expect 25-30 degree days. Further south / South Island you get about 20-25 inland. Usually we get a bit of wind at the start of December, then it all settles down and the BBQ gets rolled out for the next month or two.
You doing a cruise-cruise? like big boat cruise? seem to get a lot of massive cruise liners here a lot over summer.
Anyone got a photo they want to put up? Otherwise I will have to find something a bit obscure.
your christmas time of the year sounds ALOT like our springs/summers lol
Yeah - we sort of get that being in the southern hemisphere and all.. some parts of the States (east coast) and Canada felt the same when I was there in spring and summer. We don't tend to get covered in as much snow during winter though..
Heres a new pic - item is the clear thing, about 2 inches long.

Is it a line fault tester?
Consumer product - good for camping and such
mains tester?
Its more useful when you don't have mains..
flashlight?
hmm, works best in daylight.
solar powered radio?
rechargable razor/ electric type.
getting colder... it is something you use with another device - think USB
something like an ipod music player, the correct wording eludes me right now.
colder again. good if your USB device goes flat.
ok last go at it, solar powered gps.
It is solar - but only serves other devices.
ok i lied, this is my last guess. you have me curious what it is. to put it in simple terms is it a solar powered battery back up of sorts?
yeah.. what oldmech said... solar recharger for usb chargable gadgets .. probably got a little weeny inverter or something inside it to ensure reasonable voltage supply from such a little surface area of solar cell...
I'm sure thats what he meant!! ... :thumb:
have to ponder though ... and yeah i know having your phone or a portable cb radio would be a invaluable life saving tool if you were camping or such and got into serious trouble... but .. isnt the point of camping to 'get away from it all' ...
spose it could be used to charge the ipod/iphone or whatever too.... on train commutes or something... so there was absolutely no chance of being social network free!! ... :icon_rolleyes: ... mutter mumble social schmetworks!!.. mumble grumble

This little puppy has an internal battery can charge off a PC / USB charger or the solar panels which clip out.
I take it so I can charge the phone or GPS. Can charge tablets / PDAs.

immediately thought caddis .. but .. not... hmmm
caddis? you got them buggers over there? i thought everything over there was poisonis? or would take a bite out of you. :D
yeah.. caddis .. cicadas .. mayflies .. lot of trout streams around the world seem to have versions of the same critters eh ...
not ALL the things will bite you over here.... not all!! .. sometimes they are full already! .. or sleeping... ;)
do you have these critters? yes they are ugly!
http://www.hellbenders.org/The_Hellbender_Homepage/Home.html
yegods!!! .... no... not them... thats a mother love only critter right there!! :icon_eek:
Certainly some interesting critters right there - still think I would prefer fishing in the US compared to Oz - last time I went fishing in Cairns I am not sure if I caught a shark or a croc, but it just kept on swimming.. some great fishing to be had in Oz really, never tried freshwater though.
Went fishing a few times when I was in Canada - some good fishing there - imagine some parts of the States would be similar on lakes / rivers?
The bug in the picture - Giant Stonefly?
eh Kiwi , depends on how your 'runaway' moved.... if it was a fairly quick but steady pull .. most likely shark ... possibly a croc... though from what i know they will usually surface so they can see you ?
im gonna guess a little further... if it was just a really strong slow underwater pull.... most likely a big stingray?!? .. had one of them on the line up in NT years ago... 20lb line on a strongish boatrod and shimano overhead reel (smaller one not the game reels) ... we had to follow him down the river for a while to gain any line... was like trying to pull up a jammed anchor! lol.... got him to surface ... about 4' tip to tip... 'decided to set him free' .. :D
they aint quick .. just strong!
Palmetto Bug
Could have been a Stingray now that I think about the last one I caught - just a really strong pull up river. was in a tidal part of the estuary / river that runs out at Cairns.
What I remember most about Cairns (aside from sitting in a pool drinking beer while bats flew around, was a hatch of cane toads and a heap of kids running around trying to squash as many as they could..
yeah they get right down on the mud and hoover along eh ..
you see the beaches up at cairns?... sand like coffee-sugar size!! ... great if you want to clean your foot calluses up but too cheap to buy a pumice stone or such..
lol.. cane toads... you see some hectic and creative ways to deal with them up there... best not mention it though.. might have the PETA fans down on me!!
How about a Muskie mouth? One of these (Muskellunge) tried to eat my little brother when we where swimming at Raystown Lake, PA. They hunt with their heads out of the water. Looks like a gator coming at you.

Ooooh yes, they are one of the tastiest fresh water fish IMO. Same with Northern Pike. They are similar to Muakie's. Both have very sharp teeth.
I am so glad we don't get pike here.. maybe we should start a fishing thread - recommended spots / lures / flies etc.

Is is some kind of cricket?
it is an aquatic insect which spends most of its life as a nymph living under rocks in cool flowing streams and rivers.
it starts out like this...
(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1075.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fw438%2Ftroutmaster65%2Fbrownstone.jpg&hash=f33dcddfedc503042eb9077fc60cfe5f520dab5a) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/troutmaster65/media/brownstone.jpg.html)
then when it is ready to hatch it will crawl out of the stream onto a rock, tree, or whatever and hatch into the adult form which has wings and flies around. this one is a large brown stone and is about 2 inches in length. big clumsy buggers when they fly past your head. and look like this.

gun cleaning rod thread adapter for different thread size patch jags , brushes, and or bore mops.
Well, guess a few people also have about 10 of them laying around.. your turn (again) :thumb:

It's not an orbital gear arangement of some sort is it?
no not that complex at all. shall we say it is a piece of hardware. a way to secure something.
Flint striker/spark maker?
Is it a threaded insert which you rivet to sheet steel / aluminium? I used to use the rivnut things on switchboards, just dont know the name of this little beast.
very close. installation is a bit different.
With the grooves I would guess cast or moulded into the material
you are guessing correctly.
looks like some kind of little fuel filter.
So so far we know it is a threaded insert (like a captured nut) that is moulded into plastic (grooves prevent is spinning), and it does not expand when a bolt is screwed into it (to prevent the plastic it is moulded into from cracking).
Does anyone know the name for this little beast?
kiwi vou are verrrrry close. but i may have misunderstood one of your replies. this insert type is not typically cast or moulded in to the material it is going into. at least i have never seen that application.
here is a small clue.
the installation too which is attachedl in the fist post which has holes to match the insert is removed after installation.
sorry for the confusion on my part.

Is the tool used to heat the item (induction type fastening)?
no very simple actually. and very durable in the harshest environments if done correctly. the installation tool shown is clear plastic and has adhesive to stick it to the insert. some are metal ( that's one half of its trade name, insert ) and these little guys are shall we say are glued in. the method or style of "gluing" with different resins gives it the other half of its trade name. the one i have posted is a blind/floating nut style. there are also straight thread and thru sert styles with no threads.
heres a clue. they are installed in honeycomb core composite style panels.
what is the other half of the trade name? it is the same as you do with a young plant.
Potted composite blind insert - floating nut. No idea of manufacturer though - Metal+Pot?
metal - mow? .... metal - whippersnipper? ... metal - cat eats it? ... metal - kids fall on it? ;) :icon_lol:
Couldn't nail down a brand name. Potted insert, though.

Doesn't come any more apart, but you do have to use it with something else. Good luck :cheers:
Well - not even a wild guess from anyone yet.. should I offer a clue?
It's a oil dispenser. I've seen the plastic tube part many times....comes with printers. I have no idea why that one has washers and legs.
They are sometimes called Dropper Pipette and are used for other liquids.
hrrm .. ok.. looks like a small squeezy bottle thing .. and a plastic leg thing with brass washers for weight ..
therefor .. i am thinking it sits/floats in fluid .. and you attach a line/rod to the hook bits...
hrrrm ... could be for fishing ... for overflow control in a tank of some sort...
now i'm going looking for pictures ..
Dropper Pipette (disposable)
Whiskey tango foxtrot alpha motel India roger echo alpha domino india november george ? India motel november oscar tango domino roger under november kilo yellow edward tango :cookoo:

Plisky .. i suspect that while that may be a dropper pipette in other lives .. in that config the pipette bit is used because it suited the design purpose ..

Drink another one. You'll be able to read.
Not a pipette, and good luck with Google... you won't find it using the image search functions either...
:icon_idea: You do use it with water though
:icon_idea: And Janx is right - it does sit in fluid when it is being used
is it a commercially created thing Kiwi? ... or a home engineered solution to a issue?
It is a cheap chinese made object - bought for about $1 - lets say its purpose is educational / toy

those kooky chinese eh! .. hrmm .. educational/toy ... hrrrrrrrm
i figure it to be used to suspend something from those hooks .. in water hrrrm.... the brass washers are weight to keep that end downwards .. if the plastic bulb bit had a loop on the end i would have said thingy for one of those hook and loop fishing games at fairs .. win a prize kinda thing..
ive seen similar things used to suspend fishing lines/bait off the bottom .. but those are hooks .. not loops ...
would be the worst squid jig in history!!
dang it... i can picture so many uses in my mind ... but defining them is a bastard!!
:icon_idea: it may not quite float due to the washers
chinese lunch pail delivery 'control float' .. for diver/welders working on their mini subs?? :D .. make sure lunch pail dont crash down hard and upset the bean curd!! :icon_lol:
thing to sit on the bottom of the soup pot with the dumpling bag string tied to it?!?!?!..
i know i'm gonna be annoyed when this one comes out! :icon_rolleyes:

yeah .. i got the function of the thing... its a zero buoyancy float kinda thing...
just trying to decide for where its used in or what its used for...

Now that would be awesome, but you normally have to use this in a sealed container so you can make it work..

That time of the year a big boat is probably the least stress option for travelling... and you get to see most parts of the country.
:icon_idea: Neutral buoyancy has been mentioned - add a sealed container...
'Science kit' thermometer ... Like a newtonsgalileo thermometer?
Gas can float. Gas gauge.
The buoyant float part of a toy. Put in a larger container something that sinks to the bottom and has a bail that faces up. Put the subject in the photo in. Fill with water or other liquid and seal. As you squeeze the larger container, the subject whatcha ma callit sinks. Use the grapple at the bottom to hook the "fish" at the bottom. Release pressure and your catch will rise.

Thats close enough for me Paulcet - it's called a cartesian diver - but this toy did exactly that, picked up small objects using the hooks.

You can do a bit of Googling to find out what's in the middle, the blue circuit board. The main board is my design. What do you think I'm making?
Hints to come as needed this evening.
Kind of like a Basic Stamp single chip micro on a board.
IC1 is a voltage regulator.
Probably making a gauge indicator for your bike.
No micro controller here. The Digi product would interface nicely with uC, but my application doesn't need the brain. Which Digi International product is it? That might get you going the right way.
Hmm, XBee wireless RS232 shield for an Arduino - can do some very cool things with these things. Would be interested in whatever application you are putting this to..
The XBee is the upper board, radio and all. Not a shield in this case. The lower board isn't really a shield either. Again, no uC involved.

It's a Series 1. There is something you can do with Series 1 that you can't do with series 2 or 3.
Here is what is under the XBee radio.

Eh, kinda blurry. Optocoupler, a few 3904s and associated resistors.
Hmm, the series 1 would do point to point wireless, where the new ones only do a mesh network.

Well, the power circuit is just the voltage regulator as mentioned by Adidasguy (and the two capacitors). Something else the Series one will do that the two will not... Keep reading! Oh, and no serial or data communication over this link. These XBees are great for that, but I just don't need all that data.
This in the picture is the receiver. The transmitter looks nearly identical.

used for wifi 802.11 b g or n?
Not wiFi. Some other protocol over 900MHz.

The outside world connections.
Well, you forced me to read the maunal for the series 1 - you can send analog values directly from one Xbee module to another in series 1.
Remote battery monitoring?
Close enough Kiwi. I can also send general purpose I/O directly from one to the other. So, I have a flow meter with discrete outputs @24vdc for low flow and high temperature. The location of the meter is in a room about 50 feet from the operator's control panel. I can run conduit and wire over or under a glass tempering furnace, about 100+ feet for the under route, or make a wireless "wire". The XBee "transmitter" is set up to monitor two digital inputs, and the "receiver" is set up to ouptut whatever is on the inputs of the transmitter.
Thats a pretty sweet little module being able to do straight level sending - have done quite a lot of telemetry design over the years, but usually a little more complicated.
Simple = good :thumb:
Am stuck trying to resolve some politics on a design at the moment - if anyone has a item of interest post it up. Otherwise I can post one later today.

As we approach the end of a pleasant Sunday evening here in Australia, it's a time to reflect on why this Janxie bloke has had to make 9 posts today. Is it an obsession, is it cruelty, is it a desire on his part to make the forum appear foolish? Whatever it is, he really needs to get a grip on himself and take up another hobby. Sad that he will never see this advice as he is now, apparently, blocking critic's posts. Another sign of a troubled poster. Farewell, Janxsie, I'll leave you to your obsession.

nail trimmer?
Not a nail trimmer .... And err ... I fail to see how it could be my gnarly toes Plisky ... Looks rather like a POV shot ... And seeing as you posted it! .. :icon_rolleyes: :flipoff: .. You have nice ankles! Bahahahahhaha
.. Oops edit for another clue ... The pictured item is used on things that come in an amazing array of shapes, sizes (right from tiny 2" to over 4' tall) ...... And they sometimes smell .... Identify that and you may do a mental link as to what the item does!
Attaching hair weaves?
Trimming Flower stems?
Nup ... C'mon lads! ... Some of you gotta have a Missus! ... And that Missus would probably have the things this item is used on! ... Rattle your brain buckets around and see if you can come up with a 'bright' idea..... :icon_idea:

That was a great picture for the guessing game though. Props on that one :thumb:

Probably not QLD chicks ... They just like the scent of a man fresh from the sugar cane factory and with a dab o' bundy across the chest don't they? :laugh: :flipoff:
Anyway ... Off ye go with a mystery item then!
You will have to give me a few hours or so to find something. Bedtime for me now :dunno_black:

This one was for microwave radio frequencies - although it is unsual in shape - most are either a tube or box section shape. the LNB at the narrowest part should have been the giveaway

Yup. it's a cap gun. Good guess, you're up. Janx guessed it right away (he pm'd me) but he wanted to see if anyone else could figure it out. He also wanted to pass to whoever got it next.

Thankyou John, Good to see the system works
Carry on
Janx - is the receptacle capable of holding fluid? could it be a roller setup for applying glue on the side of something?
Have seen something similar in paper / cardboard factories for applying glue - except your example is pristine, which is a bit unusual..
Yeah kiwi ... It's 'watertight' ... The lower roller is smooth ... But marked from the light patterning on the upper roller .... The patterning is sort of diamond shaped (like that tool used on a metal lathe that gives you 'grip' on a socket wrench handle?) .. But real shallow .. Half a millimetre deep?
Makes sense that could hold glue I guess.... But what the hell needs glue applied like that?
:dunno_black:
Wall paper wetter applicator?
Fiberglass wetter applicator thingie?

It rotates about one axis, and can traverse along another.

Telephone switch?
Getting a whole lot warmer - in fact I will give you this since probably not many of these systems were ever installed in large numbers.
It is an electromechanical line or group selector module for a Telephone exchange. A typical exhange would have had about 400 of these modules installed in racks. You could scale up the system by adding extra columns of these modules and installing a rats nest of wires...
Your turn :thumb:
That's cool. My dad was an old school Ma bell (Bell Systems) guy. I doubt he ever say one of those. In fact I'm going to get some pictures of his old "tech" stuff for my next turn.
I'm in the middle of my first phone system install at work now. The list of features on modern business phone system is mind boggling. And it all fits in a box about the size of a couple desktop computers. I'm learning a lot of new stuff about what they call "unified messaging systems".
I dare say I'm getting to old for this stuff.
Speaking of phones go to walmart pick up the handset on one of their phones and hit function 1020 which basically puts every phone terminal in the facility on speaker/broadcast mode. aka page mode
Youtube has interesting video of telephone switch working.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZePwin92cI
Very nice. Is this switch same as posted switch? I like electro-mechanical operations.
I stiil have to experiment with youtube posting here. I will get it OK I tell you.
Putting all telephones on page is very naughty trick. lol
The exchange card I showed you was a rare install here - we had a lot of the British made cross bar style exchanges.
Just did the VOIP thing at work - our clients who have private wide area telephone networks are also going VOIP. Some pretty sweet gear out there, but really difficult to configure when you want to cross between VOIP and 2 wire / 4 wire systems.
Looking forward to a good challenge :cheers:
Here is interesting youtube video about old telephone and telephone jobs. My, my how the world has changed as Mummy says. I like electromechanical things and I would have liked to work in old telephone exchange. Very noisy, ha ha ha must wear motorcycle earplugs!

My friends say voip big challenge for telephone utility compabnys in future. What do you think? Will world go voice over internet protocol way entirely? I don't know.

My friends say voip big challenge for telephone utility compabnys in future. What do you think? Will world go voice over internet protocol way entirely? I don't know.
I think traditional lines are on the way out - the biggest issue that Telcos have faced with going for VOIP is the fact that the traditional phone was a service that could be maintained during civil emergencies with battery backup.
Cellular phones have changed all of that - the decline of the public phone, the abundance of mobiles and the fact a cellular site with a backbone of fibre is pretty robust in terms of maintaining service. I think eventually you will see VOIP take over - its already started with home users here, and a lot of people don't care as long as it works and is cost effective.
Amazing to see how quickly the gear has changed though - 50 or 60 years. Only issue I see is digital routing edge synchronisation which is using GPS - we have one big solar storn and we are all going to be stuffed.. Thats why I keep a MW/LW radio squirreled away..
In sydney last year had vacattion job with Japanese Education Industry company. All phone call to Japan HO on Skype. V-conference all the time to Tokyo on internet. The boss in Sydney always trying to keep telecommunications cheap and he did good job there. Australia also crazy now on national broadband so speed will get much faster. Speed now suk when I think about internet speed at home. You have many troubles with squirels also like the adidasman in other post? This is so interesting. So many predators everywhere. My predators in my house in Australia are called possums. Very very noisy. Very smelly predator too.

Sorry, been working crazy hours. Something coming up in a few, stand by.
One of my unscheduled tasks this weekend. What is it?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzvy_H58gWw
A drill set up with a drive wheel and the trigger zip tied. The sled floats along the rollers and the drill turns the rollers.
Not sure what the clear hose is.
It looks like the conduit is being used not only as a handle but doubling as a vacuum extension.
Your cleaning the rollers some how.
Quote from: Slack on June 16, 2013, 01:38:51 PM

That's it. What you don't see in the video is the driven end of the rollers, and what the drill is driving, which is a brush roll. The clear hose is for water.
At first I thought the drill was driving a wire brush, but then changed my mind and decided it was turning the rollers.
You found anything yet Slack?
Here she is. Extra points if you not only know what it is, but know exactly which product it comes from.

I realized I needed to clarify myself. It would be most likely found in American bedrooms. There are very few of them in Australia, it's probably illegal for you to own Janx.

no not french fry/chip machine...
and its electrical tape!! .. TYVM .. if you dont mind!! ;) ;) ;) ... it would be easier... itd be even easier if i took a photo of the bottom of the whole thing which has all the info on it... gotta have some challenge though..
should i pop up the next pic?... or wait for a few more guesses? :flipoff:
.. also... this thing WAS made under license from a USA company design ... manufactured in Aussie though...
I dont know for sure... but i bet Beavers dad probably had one .. which is not really a clue... just thought id mention it... couldve been one in the Bewitched household too?.... they would probably have needed one.. well if it werent for the witchcraft anyway... :D

Was it used in a radio?
Not used in a radio, was used in an industrial application.. You could use it for an amplifier I guess if you wanted to.
Don't know what it is. But I just have to say that Kiwi posts the most interesting stuff. To me, anyway. :thumb:
All I can say is that this is one of those first generation devices that bridged between mechanical and electrical.
This one is just a bit different in layout to the many devices that peform a similar function you still find everywhere.. hence why I snaffled it for my collection.
Is it a fuse, resistor, or capacitor?
I hope I didn't break any rules with those multiple, broad guesses.
Well I guess technically the closest element this thing contains of an active component is a resistor. But thats only a part of how it works.

:thumb: You got it - Thermal relay. The fine filament inside (held between the tiny ceramic spools) expands as it heats up, releases tension on the end spring, and the main spring forces the contact closed. The contact is hidden inside the ceramic bead.
This puppy is 70 years old and still works perfectly.

Looks like a well made assembly with some bearings in there - and maybe a small spindle motor of some sort...
Those copper colored things... Are they hard plastic material? And are there usually more of them when this thing is in use?
Yes it is some kind of motor with bearings. And, I don't know what those copper colored plastic things are. I have an theory on what they are. Based on that theory there could be more or less of the copper colored plastic things. They are removable. They are not important......ignore them.

Quote from: Paulcet on July 08, 2013, 08:32:17 PM

That video is actually a bus disconnector being opened after a circuit breaker failed. Usually you have a disconnector on either side of a circuit breaker (in case it fails) as well as earth switches (depending on the layout of the bus work) to make it safe after it is isolated. I can relate to the statement of surprise at the end of the video though...
We used to have air blast breakers that used high pressure jets of air to extinguish the arc, but now days everything new is filled with SF6 which quenches arcs very quickly - lot smaller physically for the same power rating.

Dammit my friend I try to be subtle yet I give the answer. its all you now. it was the plug from a disposable E-cig. misplaced the damn thing earlier when I was getting sick. cant remember. friggin health issues makes memory dodgy sometimes. misplaced it and my zippo. whyt a lighter AND an ecig?, was testdriving the ecig had zippo in pocket. anyhoo it covers the mouthpiece err where the inhalation happens. a 1 use unit ( for the plug. ) or reusable to keep air from pulling thru it.

Soldering Iron tip?
Dammit that was on my guess list also lol. but 2 at one time was enough. so had to wait lol
Yep, soldering iron tip. Coda's up again.
Well, This thread has slipped unacceptably too far down the list.. Coda hasn't been keeping score..
Found this unusual item a while back.. yes they are locks and keys, but I want to know if anyone knows what they are used for.

One clue for now - they are hideously expensive..
They kind of look like they'd be used as circuit breakers/switches for some kind of heavy machinery. Like in a power plant, perhaps.
What you see behind it is gas insulated switchgear - 220kV filled with SF6.
Another clue - the keys don't operate anything directly.
Used in hydro production?
Is it a something like a miners ID tag board? Something to identify when a plant worker is "in" or "out". Looks like this one is organized by crew or something.
Maybe Lockout cabinet. When something needs to be shutdown for repair or something.
Quote from: tcmia on October 02, 2013, 10:43:16 AM

Correct - it is a bank of interlocked keys - Castell to be exact. The idea is that the keys can only be removed in a certain order by obtaining the matching keys from the operational equipment. the keys are retained mechanically in the locks until the reverse order is done to return the equipment to service.
Very very very expensive, but pratically idiot proof - used in oil/gas and electrical systems quite a lot.
Feel free to post up a new item :thumb:
Eh, I was close lol.

nothing is practically idiot proof. give an idiot enough time theyd figure out how to bugger it up lol
True idiots will inadvertently bypass all idiotproofing. It's a talent, really.
Well.. that is all true, part of the weeding out process is applied to identify the idiots and stop them getting into these installations to start with...
We also have a nice checklist we usually use when one person does the key thing, they call it to another person who calls it back. So you actually need to have let 2 idiots in the building..
Odds are minimal then. hadnt seen a setup like this in a LONG time. never did ask what it was for. ( never did see anyone use it either )
Let's see...
[attachment deleted by admin]
drawer support?
Its actually a motorcycle part not OEM tho.
not a funky bar end weight is it?
reckon its a funky axle nut or other cap type nut ... allen wrench head style
I didn't think about that janx lol. its small whatever it is. ( judging by the woodgrain on the table)
yeah the woodgrain is what i noticed ... :thumb:
perhaps a trim screw of some sort?i don't see much in the way of threads underneath though
It is a motorcycle aftermarket "thingie"
the thing is sitting above the table surface ... so i am thinking collar extending from/part of the internal 'theoretical' screw thread .. so when it would be tightened up the collar would be within a corresponding sunken gallery and the main outer edge of the thing would be flush on the surface ... if that makes sense :dunno_black:
agreed. ill take a stab at it and say to me it looks like a decorate nut for a trim piece. not really large enough to be structural or hold a load. a trim screw/nut if you will. just enough room internally for a small screw to go into.
There you go. Its an aftermarket tappet cover. Older Honda's have access oles to adjust the valves. Also fits the oil filler on some shaft drive bikes.
so whos up?
I think you got it close enough.
KK thank you sir :). now up next. this was pulled out of a toolbox at work. I claimed it for use in my goped build. its titanium in construction, and roughly 6" long MAYBE1.5" in width
(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gs500.net%2Fgallery%2Fdata%2F500%2F3rd_leg.jpg&hash=4227249ba2809b8e47da36094c55e2e541ea2047)
C'mon folks youd know this one if you think about it long enough. its rated to hold weight, and while in motion. quite strong.
Is it a shock absorber of some sort?
Quote from: JAS6377 on October 05, 2013, 05:52:09 PM
Is it a shock absorber of some sort?
in a roundabout way yes. but that is not what it is ;). has one specific duty on a vertical plane.
Reckon its part of a monopod/tripod for cameras?
No sir. not for cameras or electronics of any kind. its made for transportation :).
Hrm ... A stem for a quick detach steering wheel?
not automotive. its made for human mobility.
Errr ... Hmm ... Part of a wheelchair... Stub axle perhaps
Or a vertical adjuster?
youre close jas it IS used by people. but it cannot be used by itself. before people start giving up and moving on, ill put one final clue on there. a shoe is often used along with this.
Part of a prosthetic leg? Might be the lower part?
Prosthetic 'Cycle-Leg'
yup. I suppose the shoe was too much of a clue lol. normally people would just post something else and quit trying. yeah I found this thing in a toolbox. going to set this up as part of a camera mount.
OK, this is about 12ft long.

Some clues - you find one of these in a radio, just a lot smaller - this unit is about 12m high, 3m in diameter and mounted on nice seismic restraints (the shock absorber is part of the seismic system)
:icon_idea: It is in a substation, and nearly completely hollow.
Is it a capacitor?
Not a capacitor - has a very specific function..
I could offer a better clue..

We call it a smoothing reactor - but yes, air coil. This one is rated 350kVDC 200A continuous. so a tad bigger than you find in a radio.. this unit is used to smooth the output from a large stack of thyristors.
Your turn :thumb:
What is this?

A really weird vacuum chamber of some sort?
Nope. Nothing to do with a vacuum.
I initially thought it looked like a fluorescent light bulb lol. Does it have to do with fluid flow of some sort?
Nope. No fluids. No light.
Well, I'm fresh out of ideas. Darn.
looks like a fibreoptic thingummy ... :confused: :dunno_black:

An airsoft speed loading tube??
Oh, so close.....
Does it go bang. or help something go bang? a magazine perhaps?
I'll have to let Jas have it. He's close, and has been trying hard all evening so.....
It is a speed loader - for .22's in a tube fed rifle like a lever action .22
[attachment deleted by admin]
[attachment deleted by admin]
right on, ive never seen a clear one before. seen black ones tho. damn I feel like qan idiot. isell guns. I should know this lol. well done jas. well done sir. :cheers:
It's a bloody big speed loader though?! ... Not exactly gonna be packin it on a belt clip now are you?
This comes from the land where pretty much anything is legal. except in a few left leaning states lol
Lol .. Yeah .. Not unfamiliar with the concept ... Used speed loaders on my S&W 586 .357 years ago ... And the venerable old .303 had 5shot speed clips also ...
But .... How many times anyone plan to miss? .. That's an awful lot of ammo to be flipping around on your person... :dunno_black:
Quote from: Janx101 on October 09, 2013, 12:53:07 AM

has 8 tubes of .22's. 15 LR or up to 22 shorts.
Really fun at the range. Lever or pump .22 rifle. Bang off a tube full in 30 seconds then refill in 10 seconds and go again.
I have 4 of these. So..... almost 500 LR's in not too much time. Need to change targets after 50 or so since I'm now a better shot and can hit the targets. When I couldn't hit them, a target lasted a long time.
Quote from: yamahonkawazuki on October 09, 2013, 12:56:33 AM

Remember this is just a speed loader - not a magazine.
No limits on tubes in a tube fed rifle since they are slow to re-fill (unless you have a speed loader). and it only works for ones that feed from the end of the tube. Breech loaded rifles can't use a speed loader. Then I think the speed loaders are only for .22's. Though there are tube fed rifles for sizes up to .45 colt and even 30-30.
So, JAS, you are up for the next challenge!Seems we hijacked the thread.....
Arrrr! ... Ahoy me hearties! :D
Aye addy, it was hijacked my friend. no worries. i didnt disagree with the winner ( he won fair and square :)
Woohoo! Let me find something worthy of a picture lol. I'll get back to you shortly.

An adjustable tool for winding a brake caliper piston back in?
I'd say it's an adjustable wrench to change the cutting discs on the angle grinder.
Y'all are close. It's definitely an adjustable wrench lol. It's not so industrial, though.
MTB gear cluster wrench?
From the size of the points I d almost say for larger cir-clips.

Case holder for a multi-station reloading press?
Correct. For a Dillon 650.
Came in the mail today in the kit for loading 30-30's.
Maybe a bit easy because I'm sure someone on here will instantly recognize it...

Cylinder for a smith and Wesson 500?
Nah that's too many yamma my guess is a 460
Yea has to be a very large cal cylinder. Eventually somebody will guess it. I guess 45 long colt.
Hint: it's probably 95% plastic, there are just a few small metal parts in it. Definitely not going to be setting a round off inside of it.
Wild guess....powder dispenser?
Revolver speed loader?
maybe a 454 casull?
seems to be awfully deep for a speed loader. the ones ive seen MAYBE a half in to 3/4
Quote from: adidasguy on October 12, 2013, 10:29:16 AM
Revolver speed loader?
Yep.
It's not particularly deep, the overall length of the cartridge goes less than half in. 38 special btw.
Hey adidas, you're up lol.
OK. I feel like reviving this.
What is this? (or WHERE is this?)

Laska in Poland?
No. (I was not in Poland last week.)
Look for a more memorable clue.
Let's see... Using the second picture, the block of white text in the middle, and the red text at the top left... you're most assuredly standing in front of a v****a in Philly. Either that or there are so many insane people painting on that wall I have no idea.
EDIT: Nope, figured it out. Saw you went to prague in the christmas present post, googled 'prague laska' and got: The Lennon wall. I thought thad dude looked familiar.
Correct - the Lennon wall.
The only place in Prague where graffiti is legal. When John Lennon died, that wall was painted. Next day the commies covered it up. Next night painted again. Next day white washed again. Soon they gave up and allowed the graffiti to remain. To this day, anyone can paint on that wall.
Lennon never went to Prague.
Looking for a technical, one-word name for this:

a small lathe?
both wrong (but is new)

nope
Perpetual motion generator (AKA Perpetual motion magnet machine)
Here is a pic of another one. Does yours work? Any net power output?
(https://sp1.yimg.com/ib/th?id=H.4662858211985505&pid=15.1)
this thing supposed to generate either electricity or a signal?
Nope all around.
It kind of looks to me like a small press of some sort. I'm just not sure for what, exactly lol.
Electric sharpener?
Gem cutting tool?
Chain breaker?
Closer.
It is electric.
It does cut/sharpen/trim (or whatever) something
Knife sharpener
Bullet sizer
Edit: ... maybe more like a case trimmer... haven't seen an electric one of either before though...

Ah, suspense was killing me.. had to google it to see if it even existed... lotta homemade stuff out there apparently, but this came up at the bottom of first page... looks like it is a Gracey Case Trimmer :icon_mrgreen:

that looks like the adjuster for a dial bore gauge, or depth gauge?
Alien rectal probe?
Nope and definitely nope lol
bboy should have seen the case trimmer due to its poster. now what you've posted resembles some type of precision measuring device. just cant place it :(
this go on a micrometer?
Well, not a measuring device by any conventional definition... As measuring is not its primary function. But it does relate heavily with ohms law.
- Bboy
this used in music by chance?
CO2 tire charger maybe? No idea what all those various threadings would be for :cookoo:
It is small.
Hint: Medical, mechanical or electronics?
was thinking co2 I have one for goped. ka N02 injection sort of. but that appears to be too slender.. although the fitting at end looks like it.
Some type of RF terminator?
None so far. To say it is electrical may lead you down the wrong path, but It is a battery operated electronic device.
otoscope or endoscope light?
Fiber optic laser diode?
Or, could it be just plain old laser diode?

Still nothing on track. Here is another photo of the front of the device, with a size reference.

Close but no cigar! :cookoo:
It's about 5" long. Hand tool. Useless for its intended application without other specific hand tools.
thought it might be a fatum vero imaginarium est consilium version ive really no idea sorry
I was told what one of these was ... Many many moons ago... Been steadily racking my brain for days now whenever i look at the pic ... But nada so far ..
Even looking at it though ... I know it winds something.. I think? ... It looks like it placed temporarily in a section or 'slot' .. Back of the metal bit has that little notch to hold on a panel (sheet metal?) ... Spring is there to keep the square key end held into the bolt or whatever it needs to turn ... Plastic tab is there because you need to be able to slide it out of fiddly places by compressing the spring ... And there is white/grey powdery stuff on the end of the key rod bit ...???
Or possibly the square end bit has a small variety of attachments that slide on and the thingy chamfers or bores crud out of a tubey thing....
Trying to help others visualise this.... And myself .... Aaaaargh!! :icon_rolleyes:
No attachments. Tip goes into the object it operates on, every other part is hands only. "White powder" is just a worn finish.
Part of a paint shaker machine? I don't know, just putting it out there.
Nope.
Is this part of a rivet tool or similar device?
- Bboy
Nothing to do with rivets.
Big hint: Primarily used on doors but its specific use goes well beyond that.
Screen/storm door closed/stop.
It doesn't directly open, close, or stop a door.
A hinge pin remover of sorts?
It's not used to disassemble a door in any way.
Some type of spring latch?
-Bboy
Not a latch of any sort.
Mostly used on/with a specific part of a door but is never installed on a door and would not be found in a hardware store. Doors not compatible with this device probably wouldn't have a use for it anyways.
Bulkhead Basement door spring. The thing that hold them open.

Is it used to tension springs in door openers . Or roller doors ?
Part of a clock hand puller
Not used to tension springs in door openers. There's a slight chance it would be usable on a clock, but not the actual clock mechanism. Not a door roller tool/tensioner. It is used to tension something, but only for a very brief time.
cam tensioner compression tool
Chain tensioner
Alright, seems like it's time for a big major hint.
Could be considered a burglary tool under the right conditions, but burglars probably prefer different tools.
Pick tool for locks
Kinda but not really, be more specific.
Some kind of weird tension wrench to be used in conjunction with a pick?
Used after a torsion wrench and pick, but before the lock is unlocked. Allows you to do something differently in the picking process.
almost resembles part of a pistol pick
¿ hola ?
Nope, not an actual part of a pick or pick gun. It's a very special type of torsion tool for a very specific purpose. May have to throw up something else real easy just to keep the game moving.
is it used to pick locks or remove tumblers? I know you said not a pick or pick gun. just asking about its usage and former hints ;)
It's not used to do actual picking, and not a disassembly tool.
Big major hint: it can be used to allow you to manipulate a lock multiple times while only actually picking it once.
used to spread apart the pins?
Nope.
Works by using a high enough speed that the pins can't move in the time it takes to do what it does.
I have hear of something like a bump pick or bump lock is that was it is ?
Nope. Bump pick/pistol pick/pick gun are the name for those. Those lift the pins. The object in question is a torsion tool.
does it by chance remove a lock cylinder ?
Not for disassembly in any way.
This has gone on long enough
It's a cylinder lock plug spinner
I said R.I.P to the game over a week ago.
No hints to guide us to the right thing. Only things like "its not that"
Yep, that's it.
And there really wasn't much more hints I could give besides spelling out the name :dunno_black:

removes ford car stereos ?
noooo .. not for a car ... the main thing that these are used for (as a tiny but handy widget) ... is INSIDE the average house... and they dont/not used for .. remove/ing anything.... :thumb:
Some sort of retaining clip? say for a desk lamp?
Right purpose ... Wrong end object ...
However ... Desk lamps are made from metal and plastic .... So is the other object that the clip is used in! .... That's a clue! :thumb:
It's the latch pin of a mouse trap ?
No mouse trap .... Bigger than that ... Bigger than a desk lamp .... Much bigger....
Don't overheat yourselves with this guys ... Chill ... Grab a cold drink and think on it a bit :icon_idea: ;)
Its for opening those doors with the push button locks.
No not for a push button lock/door ...
This thing has a passive in place retention usage. Usually found in 'sets' of 4 ... Sometimes several sets are used in the 'main object' where the item is found
To tell the truth I'm not exactly sure if they/it are put there at thee factory to ensure safe transit to delivery destination and meant to be removed after delivery.... Or folks just leave them in place because they can continue to serve a purpose ....
So... Continue to CHILL .... Wander over and grab a COLD drink .... Ponder on it a bit .... If you are real lucky you may even spot a similar item!
involve fridge or freezer?
Why yes ..... By looking at your fridge/freezer and then the item .... Can you work out why/where?
It's a lever for the ice-maker...
:dunno_black:
place glass against it it dispenses either water,ice or with proper tubing, beer
Beer holders! Not that I'm drinking or anything lol.
i gave up drinking for the church . although red wine would benefit my damaged legs now
umm lets see ... no, no ... and no ...
its a light gauge wire ... ruler in pic show it as 3.5" or 9cm long .. strictly speaking in the photo it is upside down ... that is the left side U shaped bit should be facing up ...
its not an actuator lever or part thereof ... of any sort...
once in place it is simply static ... and its job is to keep another thing/s static also ...
come to think of it i better do a pic of the widget in position .. for visual verification purposes later! :icon_mrgreen:

Don't know about you, but my freezer's shelves have food on them. In my experience, weight on top of things usually means they don't move up easily :icon_rolleyes:
Anyway...
Next picture! My curiosity has been piqued!
All the ones I've seen have shelves that slide forward on 'tracks' molded into walls of the fridge. No open -> no slidey. Just out of curiosity, is that a norm where you are?

lol.... room full of wiseguys eh!!! lol
the fridge section down lower has the track things as Badot mentions .. the pic is the freezer/top shelf ..
yes weight holds things down Watcher! .. but a iced up freezer can get pesky with stuff stuck to it!
being a removalist i have seen many fridges with these still in.... i DO think they are transport purposed retainer clips to stop the shelves jiggling about and maybe damaging the inside of the freezer .. when us clumsy truck driver type people move them about!! .. but as i say .. quite a lot of fridges in 25 years i have moved.... and quite a lot of clips i have seen! :flipoff:
... better fridges in the USA !! ... pffft .. of course!! .. to hold all the extra cold food and icecream that keeps most of the country extra fat!! :flipoff: ;)

In a sense yes, but I was looking for a more complete answer including what it is used in.

Right about the firearm, right about the combo tool, wrong about the number of notches because, as you can see, mine has 4... I have two, one for an M44 and one for an M91/30, both are identical.
Quote from: marcusk on March 13, 2014, 06:45:22 PM

Gotta give it to you, marcusk, as you are the most specific.
It's a "go, no-go" gauge for firing pin protrusion on a Mosin Nagant pattern rifle/carbine.
The two inner of the 4 notches are sized to minimum and maximum depth. The larger one should slide over the firing pin (go), the smaller one should stop on it (no-go). If the smaller one goes, you are too short. If the larger one does not go, you are too long.
If you are out of spec, the tip (flat screwdriver) can be used to adjust the depth of the firing pin.
The 2 outer notches are just relief for the edges of the bolt face.
Next!
Ok after finding a way to downsize a pic on ipad here it is . The micrometer is for scale the little silver bits are the item they are a set and come from inside something. This could be a bit hard but is the only interesting thing I could lay my hands on.

I'd like to add on... the outer notch with the rounded top is used as a firing pin wrench (I haven't heard of adjusting the pin with a screwdriver before) and the cutout in the middle is supposedly (I haven't tried it yet) slid over the handguard/barrel band spring to help pop the bands off. Also the flathead can be used to remove the action from the rifle and remove the trigger spring... then not including disconnecting the barrel from the receiver I think after that it can be completely disassembled by hand.

Yes, you are right about the large slot being used as the firing pin wrench. I usually just use the screwdriver in the slot cut in the end in the cocking piece to adjust it, I had forgotten all about it.
I haven't heard about using the loop to depress the barrel bands, but I just tried it on my M44 and it's physically impossible. Even if I could fit it over the bayonet, the handguard appears too thick for the hole.
It might work on the first band of an M91/30, though I can't try it on mine as it's apart for smithing at the moment.
But even if it works on the first band I don't think it would make it all the way to the second band...
Anyway, what is this?

We learnt to shoot at little birds like that they would only sit for a couple of seconds then fly a couple of feet in one direction. And they where so flighty you couldn't get close enough to get an easy shot. We used a single shot break barrel air rifle and there where 5 of us that learnt to shoot at these things and not one of us ever got one but after that rabbits where a walk in the park.
The species is lucky feathered bastard.
They are pretty cool, the long tail relative to the body is what makes them so agile in the air - great for catching insects... Once upon a time I wanted to be an exotic species veterinarian with a specialty in birds (that changed after 2 year in undergrad), but the fantail was an example used for divergence resulting from competitive food adaptations... with birds there a countless examples of this, so its funny that this one showed up here and happened to be the specific example I remembered from 7 years ago in the only class I would ever fall asleep in...
ANYWAYS!
Next one up should be fun, and not too hard...

That's very nice of you Janx but you are giving me way to much credit.
It's of a piece of equipment an electrician might use
Hmmm ok... Can we get some sort of size/scale reference... I thought it was a little thing... But your comment above implies it has 'some' size.... So ??
wire nut?
Nah Janx only. About 20mm long lol.
I'll give it another day and then end this one. A fast game is a good game.
Probe cover for multimeter use in tight packed cabinets?
Nailed it using the probe cover give you a 1000 volt cat 3 protection so you can poke around in places that you shouldn't.

For cleaning the bugs out of your beard.
Actually it reminds me of the little brush you use to clean electric barber's clippers, but that wouldn't really fit the criteria of being a dedicated rider...
Cleaning yes... Clippers no ..

Detail brush for cooling fins on the cylinders.
Nope..... Dirtier and more regular job....
It actually came with some stuff I bought.... Attaches to the main thing.... The end I am holding is hollow....
I thought it was stupid... Till I tried it!
Brush for a chain cleaner.
brush attachment for a keyboard vacuum
On the topic, Janx, how much does that extend part usability for you? I've always been on and off considering one but it's hard to justify spending that much just to save myself a little time here and there -- my buying point would be in monetary return.

this!!! :thumb:
the local bike shop gave me a twin pack deal (clean and lube) on this stuff pictured... the cleaner can came with the brush that goes on the nozzle... i thought it was a crazy idea... till i tried it and 95% of the cleaner spray went on the chain with only minimal overspray 'everywhere else' .. plus (for me anyway) the brush bristles ran along the chain easily and stopped me doing my usual wobble about to coat - the tyre, the swingarm, the ground etc etc etc...

... and Badot, i have cleaned and lubed different chains with all kinds of stuff over the years, spray cans are easiest for me now... when i went to the shop for clean and lube stuff .... it would have cost me $48 for the ones i chose off the shelf, the bloke in the shop said try the twin pack for $26!! .. hard to resist a shop owner offering you cheaper stuff!! ... and the cleaner really got into the grot on the chain!! .. the lube also is very good so far (900km ish with a few touch ups after wet riding), with bugger all of it flicking off also! ... probably '
equally the easiest to use and most effective' that i have encountered yet!
Ok, here is a stumper. We use it at the machine shop almost every day.

Tarot Card - Death
Not a playing card or a tarot card. But there is some printing on the opposite side.
Security tag for merchandise.
Or, one of those water sensitive stickers on cell=phone batteries...
Not a security tag or from a cell phone.
I believe the pattern is meant to keep it from being easily forged. Also, the item is 30 years old.
Picture of the other side? Or will that give it away too easily?
The other side is printed and would definitely give it away! It is torn in half and I don't have the other half (hint)

Is it the collar for holding a shovel handle on ?
No bro..... If it was then would only be one of those little grandma hand spade thingies...
It's 1 part of a 2 piece set.. The other piece does not look the same!
does it involve hand tools?
Ummm .. Not directly.... Hand tool is used on this and it's counterpart ... But it is not part of a hand tool
Hints?
It's part of his chastity belt ?
Hints....ok .... Not chastity belt .... But in a way it serves a similar purpose ...
The other main part of the 'set' this belongs to.. Has a metal sphere in the guts of it... The sphere has small holes at 3, 6, 9 and 12 ... A specialised bolt goes between them .. The sphere draws the thread of the bolt inside itself...
The set is used on ... Large heavy things!?
Tie down of some sort? :dunno_black:
Possibly an assembly piece for metal scaffolding.
Not scaffolding or tie down, though it does join 2 objects...

Not firearm related.
a motion lock type device? ( keeping item from moving/moving past a certain point?) btw love the stamps my friend. can I get my hands on one?
Aaron
Some kind of spring retainer.
Does the thick end have an internal thread?
for use withthose clips that retain items or keeps them from sliding off?. I think its a pin for a retaining clipo although it is a bit small lol. using the stamp as size reference
It sort of hold/retains something.
Is it for the jaws of snap-ring pliers?
I used to have a set where you took the jaws off and put them on a different way to convert them from internal to external.
Or used for the lock latch to hold springed tools closed, like said snap-ring pliers?

...caster pin?
It's a pin for the stop-arm on a door.
Like on a large door that would open vertically rather than horizontally, it would have a hinge at the bottom and near the top along the inside would be an arm with a track in it. Arm is attached to the door, slides on the pin, pin is in the cabinet, door can only open as far as the track can slide on the pin.
Nothing door related.

I don't even know what that is, so no.
well i dont even know if i named my idea right.... i know what it meant in my mental image... but oh well...
i better have another look at the widget....
if that is a standard postage stamp size then its a small widget!!
edit...
ok.... is it a small pin that retains a spring and cable for either the handle of a recliner lounge chair or down on the actual action end of the cable where it joins the scissor arm bit that extends the footrest?
it may not be right... but its pretty specific!! ;)
Sounds to me like it's used to stack/affix multiples of a type of some sort of furniture together... like stacking shelving units or something. As far as specifics, no idea.
Is there a clip that goes into each groove? That is the only way I can see an attachment point through a piece of metal/plastic.

The clip that's just over 1 inch wide. It is a clip, but he wants the general application. Fair seeing it is obviously a clip.

1.25" across.
I don't want the more obvious answer, give me the application for it as well as what it is.
nevermind see below
Internal Snap Ring used to fit into a tube or over a shaft in different kinds of machinery and vehicles
Like this one

You are right, but care to be more specific in the application? It did come off of a vehicle but where?
Is the bit running left to right across the center critical? I imagine if it weren't some specialized type it wouldn't do anything and just be a waste of material...
Outside of that, my only guess would be a snap ring made to be used with standard pliers. :dunno_black:

Do you know how fricken hard it was just to find that picture and description :dunno_black:
Give it to someone else :cookoo:
Well, "internal snap ring" and "used in machinery or vehicles" is kind of incredibly general... Even john said requiring an application is fair since it's obviously a clip.
I was hoping more people would actually guess things so I could steer it along with hints :cry:
But whatever, lets move it along.
It's a snap ring for an automotive universal joint, more specifically for a drive-shaft.

Impact driver?
Nope. It does drive something, but possibly not in the sense you're thinking, and if it used impaction it would probably do a pretty bad job.
Used for installing bearings?
Ugh, I swear I've seen and possibly even used one of those in the past, but I can't place it. As soon as it's guessed I'll be all "OOOOHH!"
Almost looked like a flaring tool of some sort
It is used to 'install' a part, of sorts. The part it installs is consumed in the process of a single, succinct use. The item it installs into could be considered consumed on use, but can usually be re-used.
Some sort of primer insertion tool?

Yep. Casing gets put into where the die normally goes on a press, then this item goes into where the casing holder usually goes. Primer gets placed in the little springloaded cup on top, 'close' the press and the primer gets pushed in by the anvil.
It has the look of high carbon steel firearm related wholesome goodness about it..

Not even close, its not a tool of any sort.
Almost resembled a part of the mechanism of a retractable ball point pen. Similar to my waterman
Is it metal? The inconsistent shape along the transitions in the square area makes me think it's hand ground metal, like you'd find on an old gun or old tools.
Tension/spring arm from a windscreen wiper
Its metal, not for a pen, not for wipers but it does apply tension.

I'll say again, Badot was the closest so far with his two guesses. He already got the material, era, and what type of thing it goes in, but not what it is.

The word you are looking for is "extractor". It came out of my 1911, far from a old pistol as far as production date goes but definitely an old pistol in design. Aside from advances in manufacturing technology and some aesthetic and performance improvements, they're still made the same as they were over 100 years ago.
If it's not broken, don't fix it!

No and no and stop thinking rolls of stuff. You dont find it at the end of a roll of anything.
It has a very specific job of keeping something in place on a machine that is common all over the world. This item is used to hold a XXXXXXXXXXXXX in place when using the machine.

very close. a 2 stroke diesel, just not gm May give the answer or the manufacturer tomorrow eve. I realized I set myself up for failure on this one. but figured a wth deal on it. I collect oddball pistons for some reason. this one as part of a set I bought on ebay in 2005 the bcr piston used for comparison, is going to be the foot on my cane here soon. specially once I get a better cane. but in meantime will use it on the one im currently using. Anyhooo back to the game :)
2 stroke diesel makes me think train. For some reason I assumed the 2 stroke diesels didn't have valves but I don't see a reason why they can't... would probably get a tad bit more efficiency that way.
If I keep this going it would be details not easily thought of. cause its now getting into nitpicky stuff lol. it is a 2 stroke Detroit diesel. ( from a tractor trailer. was told by seller is a 6-71 but am not sure. or a 6v71 but a Detroit 2 stroke for sure. technically youd be correct if you ahd said a 2 stroke in a road train lol. going toi go ahead and call you winner on this. or as I say, meh close enough :)

I fixed the picture before I even saw your comment. Out of habit I read my posts after I send them, so I caught it immediately.
It is a drumstick, nylon brush, made by Vic-Firth under the name of "Rock Rakes". Very stiff bristles, they sound amazing on a high-tension snare-drum and have a little bit more punch than a steel brush on a typical drumset snare. Handy for acoustic gigs when I need more volume on a rock-shuffle or something like that.

Correct, steel insert in a brass fixture. Used as an assembly, so the two are one.
Hint, several of these are needed to perform their function.

It does not pertain to strings of any kind.
Hint: the steel insert is threaded.
that's what, bout a half in in diameter, by nearly if not more the same tall?
Brass bit is about 1.125x1.125 inches, about 2 inches long on the insert.

I doubt you've seen a piece like this, it's a prototype my company manufactured for a local entrepreneur.
That being said, I guarantee you've seen pieces with the same function. Don't think about what it looks like, think about what it could do.
Brass fixture, steel insert, insert is threaded, the fixture does not turn, rotate, or transfer a substance, several of them work in tandem to accomplish a single task on a musical instrument, and the instrument is of a genre I have used on several occasions.

Lugs are attached to shell, skin (head) sits on shell, rim sits on head, rim has flanges for a bunch of tension rods (screws), rods screw into lugs.
Essentially this but mine is 2 sided for both the top and bottom head.

Some manner of press, not sure what for, though. Also beer.
Seeing as the beer is there, a cutter press for cork or nylon seals for under beer caps,
Not alcohol related. Honestly the beer is just there because that's where the item in question happened to be.
In it of itself it serves no purpose besides decoration. Its merely a model. The thing it represents is bigger. A lot bigger. Like, incredibly big, so big that the "jaws" of the real one probably stands about 3-4 feet tall.
Press is the closest guess, but that's not what it is... Any ideas?
I'm not sure it's a fair item to use for the game, if the thing isn't the thing it really is, if you know what I mean. :dunno_black:
Is the 'real' item typically made of wood, like the model?
Ps the game is supposed to be hard and not "fair" it's better when more people are involved hopefully if we continue it more and more ppl will join in.

Well, a model is a model but that's entirely generic. Saying it's a model isn't saying what it is. It's like showing a picture of the Mona Lisa and asking "what is that" and someone answers "a portrait". Yes, but no.
I don't think this game had any rules to begin with. Just show a part, object, device, or anything, really, that you think would stump others and have them guess at what it is. Just because it's decoration doesn't make it any less of an unknown thing...
Yes it's a model, but I guarantee that anyone who knows what the real thing is would immediately say "Oh, that's a model of a ____." Besides, the real thing is something I don't have access to for a photograph, and probably has a background that would give itself away.
The 'real' one is steel, and without a doubt many parts on a GS500 have come from one of these.

I'll take it. Not castings, and not technically a press, but you're in the ballpark. I don't expect everyone here to be a metal worker.
It's a working scale model of a forge drop hammer like this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1k2A3_MQMM
My machine shop typically makes the die blocks, which are the two-tone pieces in the jaws of the model. Except they are usually 24x26x11 or so, not 3x2x2 or whatever those are...

Not a fuel thing ... mojo and mura are closest, but it's not railway stuff. .. not that I know of anyway. ..

[attachment deleted by admin]
Some kind of gas burner?
Kinda like a burner... I thought it was a mortar shell to start with! Lol
Not a burner, you're actually fairly close Janx!
Its a harpoon
That guess makes about as much sense as your profile gif. :woohoo:
Nah, it's not a harpoon. Janx is closest so far.
Ooooooook..... one of them bomb stabilizer thingies. . Don't know correct name.. but sits in nose or tail section of unit. . Possibly also has fuse function by the look of the big corroded tube bit. ...
??
Nope, but you're still in the general area.
You guys tell me when it's time for a clue, in the interest of keeping things moving.
Torpedo?
Rocket?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Watchers guess made me think.... there's gunge on the thing that looks like dirty corrosion stuff. .. marine environment type gunge maybe. .. towed weight/bomb- for deep fishing or some kinda sonar test......?
Ok I know that's two guesses in one. .. but a towed marine weight?
You're all kinda in the right area, but it's not water-related at all.
That is indeed corrosion, however...
Righto. . That leaves earth or air related.. thing not look fire touched so NOT a volcano tester. Lol
Thinking out loud. .
The bomb/weight bit is mostly crudded.. while the fins are fairly fresh.. so replaceable parts... caustic/saline environment possibly...
The fins look definitely to be stabilising in function.... whether in air or maybe contained in a cylinder. ...hmmm. . Heavy looking weight. ..
A thingy to drop down vertical bore lines/pipes to break up a blockage/test for straightness?
... and you said you had nothing interesting that would be hard to guess! Lol
It's not a volcano tester (I want one of those!), but your guess about it not being in contact with fire is not strictly correct, if that helps...
Not replaceable parts, just different materials.
The 'fins' are indeed stabilizing in nature.
Ok, hints time:
1) It's not any sort of test equipment
2) It's meant to be one-use, disposable I guess you could say
3) Aluminum corrodes rather quickly under certain conditions, stainless does not
Anyone else wanna take a stab?
Yeah, I guess this was tougher than I thought. :)

Chimney of some kind... Not sure, just wildly guessing at this point.
Aluminum corrodes quickly in acidic environments... Or even just open air if its not treated at all.
You said mortar was a close guess, it can't be a sabot can it? Nah, thatd have a lot better construction...
I'm stumped.
Not a chimney, but does involve smoke, to a degree. *hint*
Yep, aluminum does corrode quickly, but not from acidic compounds (that I know of). What else corrodes aluminum very quickly?
Not a sabot, but you're still in the right area.

Not a rocket pod, but that and the earlier guess of a mortar are about the closest.

Is i t a smoke can for a sky-writer?

OK what wtf :dunno_black: is an fracking moon probe with a self disinteresting boring tip that emits smoke when its done :dunno_black:
Or maybe its your vaping ecig thing?
Is it an old aerial countermeasure dispenser? Like chaff or flares or something? I don't know the technical terms for it.

You guys are really, really close!
One more round of guesses, and I'm calling it.
If you say chem trail dispenser by "secret world government". .. I'm going to be really cross!..
Hang on.. .. chem! ..
Cropduster spray tip/nozzle thingy?
I have no idea what that is, so nope, not that! :)
Nah that can't be it. . Plisky already said that. . Dang!
Nope. :)
So, in the interest of moving on, should we call it a stumper and reveal?
Pffft why not! .. I'm gonna be annoyed though. . I can tell...
Fireworks launch pod thingermajigger? ... last ditch guess!!
That was actually the closest guess yet!
Ok, here it is guys. It's one of these. (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/3-23-30/ch5.htm)
For those disinclined to click links, it's a hand launch signal flare. Or more accurately, the spend body of one.
Lots of info I've found online mention them in reference to Vietnam, or even WWII.
However, this one is current issue. I'm not sure if the design has changed over the years, but it sure looks the same.
The corrosion is from the rocket motor and all the nasty stuff it puts off, plus the burning flare material itself.
So, do I get my cookie now?! :cheers:

A gold tester or gem polisher?
Gunsmith's stone.
You're both very close.
Is it indeed a stone, used for polishing, but not for gunsmithing or gems.
It's fairly soft (as stones go), if that helps any.
See if you can guess the material, that'll be close enough for a win.
Jade stone.

I've never heard of using Jade as a stone. And it's small size made me think it wasn't for knives. The only other small stones I've seen like that are stone-files for gunsmithing...
Except, you said it's a very soft stone and the Jade being labelled as both 10,000 grit and super fine would make it an extremely hard stone...
Used for sharpening knives or polishing the sharpening?
Looks like soapstone?! ... pain in the butt and fiddly/powdery crap! Lol
Fish hook sharpener
Watcher has the right product, and Yama has the correct usage.
It's solid jade, used for final polishing on the edge of my forged knives.
Jade is very soft, as stones go. The "10k grit" is pretty much made up, and has nothing to do with the hardness of the stone.
All I know is that it puts a finer edge than my 6k grit diamond lapping compound, so maybe it's pretty close...?
Anyway, congrats to Watcher, since he even found an eBay link that looks similar to the one I bought it from. lol
Watcher, PLEASE post something, I'm out of ideas.
I can put a edge on a knife that will shave hair but I've got to get one of those. Are they just for forged blades? Never knew those existed.
I feel like I've used one of these before, but I had a busy day and this was readily available.

It's a brass plug with a round copper (or sometimes aluminum) disk at the bottom. Depending on the thickness and type of material, it can be rated to a certain pressure threshold and if the pressure on the other side of the disk exceeds that threshold it will "burst" and vent the pressure. I use them in varying pressure thresholds (1.2k-7.5kpsi) on CO2 tanks, high pressure air cylinders, and high pressure regulators.
Ahh! .. cheers. .. elegant explanation! :thumb:
That WAS a good way of explaining it. I was thinking of how to answer, when I saw your post. I thought, yeah, what he said. lol
No, Janx, I did not find it in my pants, but it IS quite sharp and likely to cause trouble if not handled properly, so I see the confusion. :icon_mrgreen:
Microscope eye piece
QuoteMicroscope eye piece
Huh? Umm...no. :cookoo: :tongue2:
Looks like the white part has a point in the center of it.
It wouldn't be for testing metal hardness, would it?
I was gonna guess part of a gunpowder measure/thrower for reloading.... but it's not quite right for that
Nope, not a tester, but that is a sharp point, good eye!
It's actually carbide, it that helps.
It's not related to firearms at all, at least not directly.
It's a tool that goes in something else....
Is it like a tip or clutch for drill or some other power tool?
Not really. It goes to a power tool in the sense that it plugs into the wall, but not like a handheld drill or saw or anything like that.
A lathe part... for making extra fine adjustment for a cut?
Nope, but it is a cutting tool of sorts.
The tip is solid carbide, and the exposed portion only protrudes maybe 1/8" at full extension.
Etcher? Like, for writing on steel?
Nibbler head?
Watcher is the closest so far, but still a bit off.
It's a cutter head, very sharp, very small.
Does that help any?
If its not an engraver I'm not sure I have another guess...
Ok, I realize this is a tough one, but isn't that the point? :icon_twisted:
Here's what we know so far:
The body is plastic, the 'blade' is carbide.
It's about 2" long, and is a cutting tool of some sort.
New HINTS:
The numbers are used to set the depth of cut.
The deepest cut is about 1/16". I said 1/8" earlier, that was wrong, sorry.
The machine it's used in is sitting on a workbench in my office, and is about the size of a desktop printer.
BIG hint: I used this machine recently when restoring my GS, repainting the tank, rust spots on the frame, side covers, etc...
Any of that help? :whisper:
For cutting stencils?
Close enough! :woohoo:
It's a cutter head for my vinyl cutter.
Stencils are one of the things you can do with it.
I used to to make the "SUZUKI" decals for the tank.
Watcher, that's the 2nd one you've won, you MUST post something. :up:

Oops, my bad, I was thinking of someone else from an earlier round, sorry.
I'd take a stab at your new item, but I can't see it.
I'm assuming it's the thing on the membership card, and not the card itself. lol
Can you post a larger/closer photo?
Looks like the cap to a flashlight with a keychain hole
Flashlight base?

Can you post a larger/closer photo?
I would if I could. Truth is it's pretty small and all I have is a cell-phone camera and it doesn't do macro very well.
Membership card is just for size reference.
That being said, you guys are oh so close. You are right that it's for a flashlight, but wrong about the application.
I figured this one would be harder.
Flashlight focusing lens?
Filter lens holder?
Nope and nope.
Having one of these is pretty useful if you set the light down a lot.
So it's not a base?
I had one that fit around the body of the flashlight and held the light vertically or at an angle depending on where you positioned it.
It looked very similar to this device.
Reckon it's kinda what mojo said. .. but the collar goes around the body of the light and stops the bloody thing rolling away across a hard surface. .. doesn't seem wide base enough to keep a torch vertical?
Mine would hold it vertical no problem, as long as the light was super top-heavy.
Most of my tactical-type lights had fairly small heads, and it worked well.
Still wondering what this one is, though... :dunno_black:
Janx got it. Anti-roll device. As a bonus it serves double duty as a set of "ears" which make the light very usable if held as a syringe, and it has an attachment point for a lanyard in addition to the attachment points built into the tailcap.
It fits on the body about 1/3 the way from the tail-cap switch, the screwed down tailcap is what holds it in place. It's not wide enough to hold neither the tailcap nor emitter head to act as a stand, it's just there to keep the light from rolling away when set down.
And for those interested, it's from a Nitecore P20.
Hey, that's what I said it was initially! :technical:
That's cool though, Janx wins this round.
Ok Janx, find us something really tricky!
Hmmm ... Don't know how tricky.... I had no idea what this thing actually did till I took a photo and asked a particular mate... The thing is on display at my work, One of the sydney council depots.. The mate saw the series of pics , asked if they would consider selling it to him! .. They said no
This one is a quite old version.... There ARE modern versions of same thing.. Ranging from full size workshop jobs right down to little portable toolbox size job site ones.
I think it's likely that there may be instant recognition IF someone works with this flavour of equipment....
The most closeup pic first.... Will add more pics with extra visual info as clues if the guesses are too far off the mark :thumb:

trencher?
Looks like a Ditch Witch blade.
Yes it does look like a ditch witch blade! .. But it isn't ;) .... If the machine used a blade the size of a ditch witch though.. DAMN that would be impressive!
It's a lot smaller though
Don't know, but it's small. A grease zerk is visible at the top of the picture.
Zerk? ... now I have to look that up!
Ok.. zerk = grease nip.ple. .. never heard named zerk before! .. cool.. learning day!
Hmmm, the chain doesn't look aggressive enough for wood...maybe a tile saw of some sort?
Possibly this : ?? :thumb:

Bitchumen trencher for traffic light signal wires and shaZam!?
He said it was really small. Based on the grease fitting at the upper hub, I'd say the whole "blade" is maybe 7" long?
He also said that they come in various sizes... :dunno_black:
I'm swinging wild here! I haven't the faintest clue what it is.
Teeth look like carbide, I'm going to have to agree on some sort of cutter meant for concrete or stone. Otherwise carbide just seems excessive...
Ok Janx, I think we need some more pics/hints. :)
Is it one of the chainsaws on a pole kinda like a weed whacked attachment
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ok lads.... Some good guesses but off the mark... (Robot is cool! But no) ...
It is for wood.... Trencher? Not as such, right shape but wrong desc
Mojo got the scale pretty much right
Not sure if the teeth are carbide.... It would be used in AUssie hardwoods a lot though.. And some of them are BLOODY hard! ... So tough teeth they are!
This is the unmodified version of the last pic

A rip saw for milling raw lumber to dimensional sizes?
The setup looks like a band saw, but with a bar and chain blade.... :dunno_black:
That is closer mojo..... But used for dressed timber pretty much.... And dimensions ... Yes it could be used for exacting dimensions :D
I know I'm close, I just don't think I've seen whatever this is before.
I'm stumped, anyone else have a clue?
Something to cut joints into boards, then, perhaps? :dunno_black:
Hint. . You know when you build something with timber.. you can just bodge it and just butt the timbers together... OR ... you can go old school and make a proper joint? .. this machine is old school way! .. think of carpentry/cabinet maker terms. ..
Trench is vaguely right. But that's a ground/earth thing mostly. . So think trench type thoughts but in wood!
Wups.. missed Menno post. . Nearly there mate!
Joint in timber is a ??.. that a cutting chain would make?
So it's a groover, or mortise, if you want to be technical?
I thought of that right away, but it seems really inefficient to have a machine setup up for such a specific cut.
I guess if you're making flooring or something where you'll be cutting thousands of board feet of the same cut?
Anyway, very cool tool! Do you have a photo of the whole thing?
Yep Morrissey cutter, have pic, will post when home. . This is for cutting big mortise joints into hard timber, fence posts, house sub frames, old factory roof bearers etc, gimme half hour and pic will be up
Morrissey? Ffs! . Don't text and drive people!
Dagnabit, so close! Should've known. :technical:
I reckon if Mojo hasn't got anything handy Menno then it defaults to you... It was damn close!

Well THAT'S why it didn't look familiar, it's from the stone age! :D :cheers:
Wow, that is VERY cool!
I never knew those existed, but now that I do, I want one! :cookoo:
Kinda makes my router look puny. :-[
Menno, please go ahead and post something, I'm out of town and won't be able to scrounge for a photo until later this week.
Besides, your guess was close enough for me.
Oh man, I'll have to look. Will get something up in 24 hours, even if I have to break out the camera!
No good, you have 20 minutes! *tick* *TOCK* :icon_rolleyes:
Cmon lads!.. we could institute a new rule come to think of it...
Nearly everyone has a mobile with a camera on them now, find random things to guess and pix with phone! Pre prepared! ... everyone's gonna win sooner or later!
Honestly, if you arent prepared to find something in a reasonable amount of time (maybe a day at most) you shouldn't even guess.
Too many people have guessed right and "passed" to someone else. If you are gonna play then play :nono:

lol chill guys, it's early morning here!
OK, let's see..... try this one
[attachment deleted by admin]
Straightener for paper that's coming out of processing? I've got no idea, just a guess based on what I see.
Nope, but you're in the right industry.
That looks like brass strips feeding through the machine. .. and some sort of design on the outgoing side? ... stamping press for continuous strip? .. no idea what the strip be used for though?
VERY close.
Not brass, though...
What else is shiny metallic like that?
Bahahaha is that tinfoil??
In a way...
What other types of foil are there, besides "tin"?
Aluminum foil.
Don't tell me I missed it on a tiny difference again! :2guns: >:(
I think the tin foil vs aluminium foil thing is. .. the same. ... depends on where you grew up kinda thing... yes technically different materials, but commonly referred to as either!
Yeah, "tin" foil no longer exists, it's all aluminum, or aluminium if you're of the British persuasion. :cheers:
Regardless, you're ALL wrong. BWUhahahaha.
There are lots of foils that aren't aluminum....
What do the rollers appear to be made of?
Gold leaf?
Hard to tell material when it's spinning, but it looks to be soft cloth rollers like a polishing wheel.
Still don't understand why someone would put text on gold leaf. But I don't have a better idea. :dunno_black:
Yep, it's gold foil. Most likely not real gold, but you get the idea.
The rollers are lamb's wool, just to protect the delicate foil.
Sooo....can anyone think of what industry would put text on gold foil, and why?
It'll be somewhat obvious when you heard the reason.
FYI: The machine in the photo is currently in use, it's not an antique or on display, though I can't say how old it is.

What's are placks? :dunno_black:
Think watcher may have meant plaques...
Oh, right! Sorry.
Nope, not those either.
You're kinda sorta in the right industry though.
Quote from: mennobike on March 11, 2015, 03:47:21 PM
Think watcher may have meant plaques...
Yeah, I did.
"Plaques" initially looked a bit odd to me, and when I googled it to double check the spelling I got that stuff that builds up on your teeth. When I googled "plack" I got images of, well, plaques. So I went with the latter.
Combine the haste associated with using a phone for personal use while on the clock at your job with a touch of laziness and you get all kinds of horrid semantics.
Anyway, if it's like plaques but not plaques the only other thing I can think of that might have fancy gold-foil writing or images on it would be a box. Like a fancy box you'd buy an expensive bottle of champagne in, or maybe like a wedding invitation or something of that nature.
Rich bastard xmas decorations?
janx, I really hope that's right :icon_lol:
Watcher and Janx sorta close, but still not it.
Watcher, when I said sorta like plaques, I meant that it's a similar process, not a similar end product.
HINT: Janx is closest so far with xmas cards.
The part that's right is that the method of applying the foil/text to the product is the same as it would be in you were making a fancy greeting card.
It's centered text, there's a fair amount of it... Hmm... :dunno_black: who writes on gold leaf?
trading cards
Not a card at all, but a similar process.
Is it time for another hint?
I really didn't think this would be a stumper. :)
Church decorations then?
Nope!
Window application?
Windows? Nah.
Think smaller, not larger.
... 27 posts (incl mojo replies) since the photo... yep another hint please!
Ok, fair enough...
Why would the text be gold?
Could it be to make an IMPRESSION on the viewer?
Sometimes, even a simple difference can make a common thing rather imPRESSive.
I hope that's not too cryptic. :icon_rolleyes:
Looking at the photo. .. big 'metal' section, a gap then thin metal section.... is it goldy/foily stuff layer onto plastic/polymer sheet? Can't see how they keep it parallel otherwise. .. not a guess but trying to figure out base material
Hey! .. concept! .. Braille wallpaper for really rich blind people! Lol
The 2 strips are kept parallel because of the text. *Hint*
What gets printed on the big sheet is closely related to what gets put on the smaller strip. Does that help any?
Name tags?
Nope.
You guys tell me when you give up.
I'm fine to keep this round going or call it a stumper and move on, either way.
Chocolate box wraps sheet!...
We shall never... surrender! .. we shall guess them on the beaches!... and in the air! ... lol
:embarrassed: :cookoo:?......... k:holly pissshit its sofa king just gold foil :technical:
Can we please get the answer please. It's clearly gold foil no mater what the application. Is this the "guess the application game"? No, its the what is it game.......its gold foil right? :thumb: :icon_question: :icon_question: :woohoo:
Sorry, lots of stupid drivers got me going nuclear today.
No more coffee for you plisky! ! Lol
Thanks janx you really know how to calm me down. Still, can we get the answer? I don't think even he knows what it is.
I have been wrong before
Well my early thoughts were. . Its a polishing machine thingy! .. but then it became apparent that the strip was the thing... things are NEVER or at least rarely OBVIOUS! .. it's the what is this game. . Not the ...this is a! game...
I thought my mortise saw was easy. .. once I knew what it was... 'surely there'll be a wood type person guessing here!?"...
But yeah. . To stop plisky road raging some sweet white haired old lady in a old school Cadillac. .. better/closeup pic of the strip in question? .. or despite my Churchill quote above.. give!
And I just found another thing for when it's my turn again!. .. :woohoo:
Janx I've actually just thought of something as well, much better than that dag nabed broom :cookoo:
Oh how I hope its something that actually exists' in real life
I took a pic .. Couple of pics of my find! :icon_mrgreen:
Sorry for the delay guys. I'm about to get on a plane, so I'll keep it short.
The "thing" in this case is the machine, not the strip. It's a foil embossing machine for impressing titles on hard Cover books.
Fair enough mojo :thumb: ... maybe a prompt towards machine purpose rather than the mysteries of the strip would have helped tho! Lol
And just open thought. . Been ages since I actually saw a hardcover gold embossed book! . Most of mine are paperback now, bit of gold title here and there but not much. You work for readers digest printery ? lol
I never said the thing was the strip. I just figured it would help determine the machine use if you can figure out what the strip was.
The machine is used for soft cover books too, but mostly hard Cover. That particular run was bibles, I think.
Ok, who's next?
No it's cool mojo.. Wasn't meaning yous said the strip was it... Just that a nudge back towards the machine for us OCD chaps would help .. Lol ;)
.... And...
It wasn't guessed....
So YOU up!! .. .. Again! :flipoff: :thumb:
Yeah, I should have given a hint about it being the machine and not the product, sorry.
I'm out of state, so can I pass to someone else to post this this round?
Ooh me? .. hang on!

Flexible pipe shielding for the space shuttle? :)

Guess you'll have to hang around to find out what eh? .. eh!? ;) lmao
Oops sorry, and yes there is a fitting/flange at each end
Fitting at each end, wear/rub marks easily observable evenly around each element... Does it relate to plumbing or something along those lines? I've no idea. Unless janx has very specific tastes... :nono: :icon_eek: :nono:

So it's train-related. :whisper:
Looks like a flex coupler for a pressurized gas line, but you already said that wasn't it....
Maybe a handrail stanchion? Can't imagine why that would be flexible, though. :dunno_black:
Robot spinal cord
Flexible microphone snake like at the fast food drive through.
You into the coffee again plisky? Lol
Mojo. . You are very close. Train, handrail, flexible.

Bloody hellfire!! ... Another "I know I've seen one of those" moments.... :confused: :dunno_black:
Vague memory saying... Engine or gearbox part.... crush washer?
Looks like it has lugs on the side facing the camera that fit into a hole with matching cutouts, then gets turned to lock into place.
@Menno: Is it metal or chromed plastic?
Metal. Mojo is on the right track...
Hrrrm. ... ok. . Lock ring for camera/action camera lens area?
Very close, why isn't it attached to something?
Because you needed to take a photo of it?? :flipoff:
Because it broke off?
I'm tired and it's sleep time and I just can't think why the thingy is flying solo... unless it's the locking ring of a replaceable filter or faceplate of a waterproof housing? ... straw grasping here!
Not for a filter or waterproofing, how about a hint?
It's threaded on the inside, and is never used with new lenses.
Key ring
Lens adapter from one mount to another?

Janx, do you have anything else to show? If so, please take my slot until I can get home to find something worthy of guessing.

Pressure sensor?
Flow meter?
I see abrasion on the pipes, which I can't imagine how that could happen.
Looks like electrical conduit though, so may not be fluid-related at all... :dunno_white:
It's a sensor. . But not fluid. . The lines are there but separate part of the system and not connected to the sensor
Wups my bad... not lines (they different section and lower down.... I forgot where I just took a photo? Lmao) .. the corroded bit is the mounting bracket/rail that the sensor is on... and the corrosion itself is just result of bad galvanizing
Do you really mean not for fluids, as in no liquid or gas, including air?
If so, then that pretty much leaves temperature, atmospheric pressure, vibration, and radiation (all types).
That part in the lower left is IP67 rated, so it's water and dust proof, to a degree.
I'm drawing a bit of a blank. Any of my musings jogging any brain cells free guys?
It definitively has no oil, gas, liquid of any kind. .
Its on a truck at my work. . There are about 12 of them in total (some different shape but all same function)
They are very important on all the trucks I work on!
LPW .. Feb 24
Probably a gas (non liquid) sensor then... Co2 or something?
He said not any sort of gas...
GPS maybe? Can't imagine why that would be under the truck though.
@Janx: What's LPW ,, Feb 24 mean?
Whoops, thought he meant fuel :dunno_black:
He may have, lots of people call all types of fuel "gas". However, I think Janx is in the UK, so I assume he'd call gasoline petrol.
Am I even close, Janx? Lol
Light sensor
I'm Aussie!... lol. .. not GPS, NOT liquid of any kind .. not fuel/gas/petrol/gogo juice.. Suresh and stone the crows!
Not light. ..
On the side/rear of truck. ..
You guys don't know LPW? Omg!
Tard farm, last post wins.... thread!... find the date.. mention my work place! ... not doing ALL the work for ya! Fair dinkum mate!
Suresh?. Sheesh!
backup sensor or is it a rear camera?
Blind spot sensor?
Mmmm nope!.. good thinking tho! ... it is a safety thing. . Just not the ones you guys mentioned. .. work further thru the possibilities! . ;)
And you've really got to look at everything in the photo. .not just the sensor!
Some gyroscopic thingamabob to measure tip angle? I've got no idea. Temperature?
Not temperature ... Not gyroscopic... But ..Tip Angles.... That's vaguely along the right path...
These things come into play when we go to unload the trucks ...
Guys
Maybe look up some vids of modern waste trucks .... Unloading....
Once you see the process .. It might bring to mind what such a sensor would be used for :thumb:
Proximity sensor for sensing when the rear gate is fully closed?
Or is it to sense when the truck is empty and the garbage has stopped coming out?
Proximity it is! ... Little magnetic job .. When the steel whatever moves away an alarm goes off in cab.
They are all over the load area of truck.... Scoop blade, hydraulic ram travel, inspection hatches etc
You got something this go mojo?
Oh man, me again?! :o
Sorry guys, I'm stuck in a hotel in Richmond, VA.
If anyone has something to post, go for it. I doubt there's anything interesting in this room. Lol
Oh, hang on, I think I found something.
Try this one...
[attachment deleted by admin]
Not sure what that is yet... looks like a bulkhead bit from a ship?
Hmm, something to do with pipes?
You're right about it being on a ship, Janx, but the machine itself isn't related directly to the ship itself.
Big Ass water pump.. maybe for bilges or firefighting (fire IS any sailors worst problem!)
Nope, not really related to fire fighting at all, although water is vaguely associated with its use.
Anyone else got a guess?
Some sort of press?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Nope!
Hint time:
1) It's on a ship, of the WWII era.
2) It's not related to combat operations, but is essential to the continued effective running of the ship.

:technical: make up your mind!!! :technical: :flipoff:
...... Right ... I wasn't seeing the whole pic..... Remind me to remind you how to resize photos! :flipoff: :icon_lol:
Why it would be essential to running a ship I don't know.. But I reckon it's a sausage maker!!
Looks like a giant cake mixer to me...
Janx, everything I said is correct. There's no need to attack me. :dunno_white:
Also, the photo isn't that big. I made it that size so you can see the details.
Watcher takes it! It's a mixer.
It stands about 6-7' tall and can mix over 100 lbs of bread dough or cake batter or whatever else they are making.
See what I mean? It doesn't have anything to do with combat or the running of the ship itself, but in order for the ship to continue operating, the crew must eat! :up:
Ok Watcher, your turn!
Sorry mojo, not attacking... I'm too used to LPW where 'nothing is real heat' ... I used emoticons! ... If I go on an attack rant there is no smileys of any kind and folks know the heat is real...
Didn't mean to sound nasty! :thumb:
No biggie, I'm hard to ruffle. :)
What's LPW?
Last Post Wins. ..down in the Tard Farm section.. all the cool kids hang out there.. lol
Its... a bit like the local bar?.. chatter, random thinkings, somewhere to vent.... you just DONT ;) claim you have the last post and have won! Bahahaha
My mobile really doesnt like my image hosting site. If I can get to a PC I'll have something up during the day, otherwise I'm home around 9pm central time.
All good Watcher... ironic though! ;)
Yeah, sorry. I had something but my work schedule is kind of psychotic right now.

old nasty cheese? :flipoff: :icon_mrgreen:
That a penny for size reference?
Part of a hunting bow?
Penny for size reference.
Not for a bow, but if you are thinking of the little piece that holds the arrow you are sort of onto something.
Its flexible.
Ok it's a holder of something.. flexi.... but not big. . Windscreen wiper (at rest) widget for newer cars with those fancy wioers
Wrong direction entirely.
Honestly it's pretty closely related to the bow idea.
Piano string holder thingy?
Cmon guys... chime in any time!.... guys?
Its made of like a rubber and is designed to flex in only one way.
A harp string ummm tuner/muter thingus? ...
A box magazine stopper widget?...
A soft close mini gate latch!?...
Dammit now I've gone all "Pliskin" ;)
Sorry guys, I wasn't getting post notifications for some reason. :dunno_black:
I've seen that thing before, I just can't recall where!
Is it an anti-multi feed stopper for an airsoft gun?

Oh man! Right application but wrong type of gun! Look at the size of the radius and imagine what would sit against it.
Paintball anti-chop stopper!
Quote from: Elmojo on March 27, 2015, 11:40:34 AM
Paintball anti-chop stopper!
No!
But since you got the right answer between the two guesses, you got it.
Its a ball detent for a Tippmann. Anti-double feed for a paintball gun.
That's what I meant, it keeps more than one ball from loading, which can cause chopping.
Anyway, yay for me!! ;)
Oh, now I have to find something....
Okay folks, give this a gander...
This is another one of those things that you either know immediately, or have never seen before. :up:
[attachment deleted by admin]
Chop implies chop, bolt splits ball in half. Everything else is just considered a breakage. But's that's just me being pedantic :thumb:
CPU
Good point. I didn't know specific you needed my answer to be. :)
Yep, it's a cpu, but the kicker is which type?
Pentium 2 :dunno_black:
Nope, older.
Is this too vague?
It may be unreasonable for anyone to guess the specific generation of chip, since they look so similar.
If you guys think I'm being too picky, we'll call Watcher's answer good and let him post something new.
hmmm, with more detail i might be able to get it, but not with just the pins. Watcher's got it, in my opinion, but I'd say wait for a couple more people (or just janx :D ) to chime in.
Sounds fair to me.
It's a Cyrix 486! :o
Here's the other side.
Watcher takes it.
Your turn....
[attachment deleted by admin]
Alright, fair enough.
If I've used this before let me know and I'll find something else. I started up another "what is this?" game on another forum some time ago and I'm bouncing back and forth between them.
(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimagizer.imageshack.us%2Fv2%2F800x600q90%2F537%2FO09rr7.jpg&hash=5df94a79ab76d3b58f57b74cbcf091963c705271) (https://imageshack.com/i/exO09rr7j)
Ummm. .. which bit?
That's my question also. The piece at the top is a buffer for an AR-15.
Can't really see the lower one, looks like a business card maybe?
can't view the picture... :technical: :technical:
Bottom item is just a business card, and is not the item in question.
Elmojo got it. It's an AR buffer.
Back to me again, huh? :woohoo:
Let's see here....how about this?
[attachment deleted by admin]
That's a metal casing with screws that is! Lol
Oooh, yer a quick one! :cookoo: :icon_rolleyes:
Hang on, actually, your WRONG. It's plastic. :flipoff:
Plastic ye say!... fair enough.... some form of games machine controller!
Correct, but you'll have to be more specific than that if you want to take the coveted cookie award. :tongue2:
A fishing game controller?
Nope.
I meant be more specific as to the design and function of the controller, not what type of game it's used for exactly. :up:
Ohhh. ... specific.... plasticky body, plasticky buttons, you pushes a button and shaZam! happens on screen! ... light gun controller?
Nope, but you're on the right track...
Anyone else playing this game now?
:dunno_black:
is it one of those ancient hunting games?
Nope!
It's not really all that old, maybe 4-5 yrs.
Janx is correct, that it's a game controller of some sort.
I'll give a couple big hints:
1) it's made for a PC, not a game console
2) It's not for a specific game, but more for a general type of game
Not that many controller types out there........ So ..... Part of a steering wheel controller
Not a steering wheel, but you're very close...
Joystick/flight controller then!?
Close enough!
It's a Saitek joystick. Can't recall the model number off hand, not that it matters.
I use it for my flight sims, though I haven't played any of them lately, hence the dust. ;)
Ok then, Janx, hit us with a tough one!
Tmw... busy day today... tired.... sleep now ish
Feck! .. forgot.. had this in car. Have to do for now

It's a coin! :icon_rolleyes:
Sorry, couldn't resist.
It looks like part of a toy.
Exhaust end of a plastic spaceship/jet.
It's an exhaust .. But on a who rather than a what....
Fairly popular type character :thumb:
Popular character the world over, or in your neck of the woods?
World I would think..... ;)
So, rocket boots then?
Let's see, what character has rocket boots?
Colors are wrong for Iron Man....
I'm going to say they aren't boots. Possibly a jetpack
Tis a jetpack. . And it's on a? ...
If you open the whole photo there's a tiny bit more to see
Is this a character that an adult male would know, even if they don't have kids?
Yep I think so. ..
....
....
Banana?
Buzz Lightyear?
No..... more recent. .. have own movie now
Transformers? The plastic type doesn't look right, though.
No.. sorry. The item is more recent than toy story.. transformers are heaps older! ..
Cryptic clue. . Russian military/ police acronym? I think...
Correct acronym gives a solid pointer!
OMON?
SOBR?
KGB? (not police as such) lol
None of those seem to help me, maybe someone else?
Ummm I sent you slightly wrong... Russian military intelligence ... Not the speznatz .. The boss of them
Ah, ok.
GRU?
Yes ... Now .. Gru ... Who is he involved with? .... Hmm?
Gru?
Never heard of him.
Is he a toy/movie/cartoon character?
... Google it... :whisper:
I did. He's a character from the movie Despicable Me?
Not helping. lol
Minion from Despicable Me. Wooo!
Yep it's a minion... thought the sliver of yellow in edge of full photo might give it...
some fast food giveaway toy I found on the road at work..

Oh, those things!
When I opened the full photo, it didn't show any yellow. That probably would have helped some.
OK Iarn, hit us with something good!
Things? ... things!!? .. they are Minions! ... not things!! Lol

Here you are, courtesy of my grandmother (since it's Easter Sunday)
Statue of one of the dwarves from Snow White?
:bowdown: That grandma hint was too potent, I see.
Can you name which dwarf?
I just recognized the classic Disney shoes. lol
Based on the dark red pants, I'll say Grumpy.
Since mojo seems to be an avid Disney viewer.. bet he can't wait till the new Star Wars comes out! ... (shameless bait dangling!) Lol
Actually, I'm not really a Disney fan, I just grew up in that era, and have apparently been brainwashed. lol
Okay, okay.
Darn you elmojo! I'll be sure to make it way harder next time.

Uhuh! ... deny it! ... that's the way! ;) ... you've been outed as a Disney freak now! Bahahaha! :thumb:
That looks like Sneezy, not Grumpy. So, does that mean I won or not?
I do like some of Disney's stuff, but not all of it. I've actually never even seen the Snow White movie! lol
I'll freely admit, though, that most of my favorite movies are animated. :up:
Ok, I'll assume it's my turn to post. Lets see how you cats do with this one!
[Pen for scale]
[attachment deleted by admin]
Yes, elmojo, you won.
I'm going to say a ink cartridge for a printer/copy machine.
Nope, not a print cartridge.
Sewing machine thread guide... thing?
Wow, that would be a BIG sewing machine! Nope.
Look at the pen and guess the general size. 8)
It looks 'computery' .. but the color seems odd for that (don't know why that caught my attention first?) ... but the shape/design isn't anything I can 'place' in a computer... looking at the words. .. odd mix of terms.... so. ..as I haven't seen a 3d printer 'in the real' .. I'm gonna say a part for a 3d printer... controller/valve box for the print head/jet thingy? Maybe?
You're a little closer with the 3D printer guess, but it's not directly related to printing of any type.
The color is irrelevant, if that helps any.
I had another thought... I think the box itself is a tool... stripping/joining/crimping/tipping thing for electrical/electronic cables. .. ? .. and fancy color (probably a range of them) because tradies have to be stylish nowadays! Lol
I suppose you could call it a tool, but it would be a bit of a stretch.
It does help you accomplish something, but not directly, as in physically making/repairing anything.
Does that help or confuse more? :flipoff:
Is it some type of jig?
Eeeehhhh....only in a very vague sense.
Ooooh oooh! I know now! ... it's a. Baby Borg!!
Come now, do you really think the BORG would be so crass as to allow their cube to be PURPLE?! :icon_eek: :cookoo:
Ok hint: It's hollow inside, and the inside doesn't do anything... helpful, right? :icon_rolleyes:
It's a baby!.. lotsa babies look a bit purple or red when born!
Ok hollow... so it's a gauge of something measurer? .. ie. .. if it fits in 'that bit' you can use it to do job but too big or small and try again?
Okay, fair point, purple babies.... :laugh:
You're sorta on the right track, but it's not used to directly measure or gauge anything physical.
..... ok. ... much head scratching..... hrm. ..
A layout map reminder thingy? .. for different parts of a machine/circuit board? ..
just happens to be shaped as a cube?!
Failing that... a paperclip holder for a company wanting to advertise their stuff in a novelty way!!?
I posted a tough one, I see! :woohoo:
You're getting closer with the layout reminder guess, but it's not for a machine or circuit board, though those types of parts could be related to the complete product.
You are correct that the shape of the object is not directly related to its function.
.... and we are the only ones bothering.. sigh.. .
Template blank panel pusher outerer? ... ummm like for assembling stuff and you push whatever appropriate side into the thing to clear the injection molding scraps away? ... I'm sure there's a term for what I'm tryin to describe but I don't know it!
Gonna need a direction pointer soon.... not so much a clue but a nudge toward industry type?
I've got nothing :dunno_black:
I have no earthly idea. :shrug:
Ok mojo. .. a direction pointer or a hint or a hot tip. ... if you please !?
Design guide for injection molding?
Sorry for the delay guys, when the site went down, I stopped getting post notifications, and only just realized.
Watcher takes it, it's a best practice guide for injection moulding!
Ok dude, your turn!

That's all I had besides little internal parts and specialized tools that are so out there noone would be able to guess without hints that would basically give it away. Maybe I should just go for it next time if you guys want really hard ones.
ok sorry for the delay everyone! i was going to pass but! i figured id get in on this :)
good luck!

Dalek 'pecker' ? Bahahaha
Looks like sort sort of test probe maybe?
Is that end piece flexible, or bent in that shape always?
probe yes. solid end not flexible at all.
Does it go into some sort of electrical slot and give you data? Fuse tester, perhaps?
electrical yes! fuse tester as in? good or blow fuse?
Voltage tester. It lights up when AC voltage is present.
you cheated!

Nah, I didn't cheat, I've just used one before.

Close enough! It's a highlighter.

Or if larn has something ready or near ready to put up. .. I'm off work today with chicken schnitzel REVENGE ... I been on the lounge or on the loo all day. .. and finding something right now is gonna be a challenge!

A bear high-fiving a cactus? lol
I was thinking more the medium than the image.
Yeah, I figured. :angel:
Carved into a steel plate, then painted red?
Or do you mean what it's carved into? If so, I have no clue. :dunno_black:
Guess the object, not the image nor the material. Though, I suppose you get bonus points for the latter. :P

Thanks Elmojo! I just might start to make some guesses in the future :laugh:
I think Elmojo got it, but just in case:
a cap for a . . . radiator? bottle of some sort?
I don't think my guess was specific enough, if it was even on the right track.
Janx is playing coy with us this round. He's usually quicker on the replies.
Maybe he got tied up with something... :police:
Been working garbage in the rain boys. .. lets see. . No, nope, nah, not even. ..
I know all the things it looks like. . But it's not. ..
A gentleman might use it!?
A butane lighter for a cigar
Robotic sphincter? :tongue2:
Cigar cutter perhaps
Nose hair trimmers?
No way that's a cigar cutter. Too small to chop and isn't the right shape for a cigar punch. I could be wrong, though.
Rage has it! Basically this one but mine is older model and it's night/raining and in car. .. so no photo of my one! ....

Don't sweat it rage, we're glad to have you on board. :woohoo:
Wow, that's tricky! The hand helps with scale...
I don't see any threads, and it appears to be aluminum, but otherwise I'm stumped for now. :dunno_black:
I was thinking some sort of lock ring, but I'd assume it would need threads for that.
I was thinking a lock ring for a projector headlight?
Is that anodized aluminum or brass/copper?
Hard to tell on my phone from the color.
Looks like it has some depth to it. Could have external threads on the back side of the flange.
I'd guess lock ring as well, but for what...
Twist lock for some kind of large hose like for a shop vac or something?
It's made of bronze
No threads. Reverse side is identical.
No correct guesses thus far.
Drop in lock down axle or shaft locator/centerer!?
Whatever those things are called! Lol
Janx, the shaft bit is tangentially related.
Mine does that all the bloody time! :thumb:
Bearing race?
I'm tryin think what applications/environments use bronze. .. was gonna say marine but they use more brass. .
And the design of the thing.. either a lock ring for something or a shifter type thing for gears maybe? .. hrrrm. . Feels like I have seen that type of thing (once again) before... or at least read/seen pic of usage.
Curious and curiouser!
I'm trying to think of hints, hmmm.
Its function relates to a cylinder.
does it relate to helping to twist something? like, with a wrench or some tool?
Janx: Marine applications do use a lot of bronze.
Iarn: cylinder as in engine cylinder, or some other sort?

It's a stationary component.

It doesn't produce power, per se.
Not helpful, dude. Lol
Are the "lugs" tapered or the same thickness on each side?
The thickness is uniform. 0.250" throughout.
I'm having trouble thinking of helpful hints. This isn't a common thing. Ha
Okay, how about this. The machine it goes in is used in industrial applications. The component itself isn't designed to move whatsoever. The ring is meant to interact with a piston inside a cylinder. However, the piston isn't to produce power.
That's kinda along the lines of what I was thinking, though I can't begin to guess the actual application.
So is the ring designed to prevent a shaft from rotating inside a cylinder, such as a hydraulic ram or similar?
No, the ring as another application directly related to the piston. The piston and the ring interact, on the regular. They are explicitly separate components, but they do touch. Not the shaft that the piston moves along. The ring and the piston only interact at very specific times. You could say they only interact in extremes.
Man, we went from hand sanitizer to this?
:icon_twisted: Someone guessed my last submission the first try. This is my revenge. :icon_twisted:
Is it just a phosphor bronze bushing?
No, it isn't a bushing. You guys give up, yet?
I do. I even tried a Google search
Time for another clue!
We typically will give 2-3 clues before calling it a stumper. :cheers:
I have like 4 by now! Haha... let me think.
It sits at end of the piston's travel. One on each end.
What I mean is that when the first type of clue (how it's used) doesn't help, then we move on to something like what industry it's used in or similar.
I agree that you've posted a good one, and I'm fine with calling it a stumper and letting you post something new. :bowdown:
Let's see what others think...
A blocking ring for a synchromesh transmission?
Ragecage. That is closeish, but it doesn't go in a transmission.
Okay, im going to go ahead and give up the ghost here.
It's a cushion for a 4" piston. Stops the piston moving any further along the cylinder and isolates it from the other bits.
Who's next?
Cool!
Since we didn't guess it, it's still your turn. :up:
Cool that's what it is... but a 4" piston for a what? ;)
Retractable thermocouple is what it goes to. It's basically a giant thermometer that reports the temps to whatever it's hooked up to. The piston moves the thermometer into the slurry while isolating the sensitive bits from the super heated material.
Anyway, here's the next bit.

Pay no attention to the wild co-worker in his natural habitat.
Hmmm...little bit...
Kinda looks like a pencil case. :)
Naw, not a pencil case.
Stick of wax for saw blade lubrication?
Nope. It's plastic.
P.S. There is a tornado warning in my area and a supercell right over my head. If I stop posting assume the tornado got me.
Yikes!
Where are you, Nebraska?
Nah, Louisiana. Rare event here. There are a bunch of huge metal things all around this shop waiting to fly around. No good shelter at all.
I think the worst has passed, hopefully.
The item is electronic.
Wow, that is odd to get those in LA. I'm in NC, and we get them now and then, but not typically severe like the monsters they get out west.
Electronic you say? Hmm...non-contact voltage tester?
Here is a pic my friend snapped today during the storm. That's a twister with a bolt of lightning inside of it at LSU. Strange to think I was just there yesterday.

Nah, not a voltage tester. Sadly I can't take a picture of any other angle as that'd give it away rather quickly.
Holy crap that's a cool photo! :o
Too bad it's so dangerous.
Don't let the SyFy network see that, they'll make a "lightning-nado" movie. On second thought... :up:
I'm kinda out of guesses at the moment, let me think a bit....
Plastic trippy cover thing for a shifter wrench handle?
Oh bugger.. never mind. . Electronic. .. :(
Stud finder?
Or laser level?
No, it's about the size of a finger.
Is the thing in the photo a case for something else, or the thing itself?
The red thing is the "this" and it is the object itself, in its entirety.
what's it called? maybe then I could tell you what it is. :embarrassed:
Th... hey, wait a minute! I'm on to you.
Hahaha rage, that almost worked! :icon_rolleyes:
Ok, here's what we know so far...
Red
Plastic
Electronic
About the size of a finger
We're looking at the object itself, not just a case
That help anyone? Not me... :dunno_black:
It's so easy. You guys are over thinking it. When it's revealed what it is, you're going to slap your self.
It's "universal" in its application.
A remote!
Nope
Awww, thought I had it. :cookoo:
A battery?
A voltmeter?
Nah, elmojo said that earlier, rage.
You can "bus" things around with this.
bus fuse puller? :dunno_black:
:icon_lol: It's commonly referred to as a three letter acronym.
I am so lost :cheers:
It's "universal", and you can "bus" things with it?
Are those 3 letters BUS or is that an unrelated clue?
Something tells me you may be too good at this game. :icon_twisted: :bowdown:
:cry: It's a USB (universal serial bus) thumb-drive.
Really?! That has to be the biggest USB drive I ever saw! lol
Most these days are tiny. How old is that sucker? :icon_eek:
Regardless, you win...again! :woohoo:
Third time's the charm, right? Hit us with something good, but guessable. lol
It's only the size of my thumb!
I'll find something tomorrow morning at work. I'll be sure to add something for scale and not make it some esoteric part.
That's still pretty big, unless you got tiny girly hands. :icon_razz:
The last one I bought was smaller than the size of the USB connector, and it was a 16GB drive.
Ok, tomorrow it is, I'll be waiting. :)
Far out... you guys give up too quick! Lol
I agree, Iarn is too good at this game lol.
Rubber boots for scale.

Challenge accepted, Janx. Haha
Hahaha!
Hey, I know this one, it's a laser printer! :woohoo:
Yeah, the wheels are for convenience.
Right! Those dang printers can be difficult to move around the office. :cool:
Are you really gonna go with that fork lift as your item? :nono:
I can't use all my good stuff all at once! You guys are killing me.
Haha ok, I hear ya!
So is it my turn then?
Take it away, Elmojo
OK, here we go...
Sorry there's nothing in the photo for scale.
If I had zoomed out enough to include a scale ref, you'd be able to see enough of the item to ID it quickly.
As a clue, the circular piece is 1/2" in diameter.

Plisky. . Pull ya finger out eh!?
Sorry I haven't put up a pic, I've been busy. I'm watching this Baltimore broblem. I live and work near by and it's been keeping me busy at work. Why don't you go ahead an take my turn Janx.
Ain't have any right now.. :icon_confused:
... We shall wait....
So long as it's not a pic off your pee pee wrapped in a hoodie! Bahahaha
Hahaha! :whisper:
I seem to have missed the whole last round, not that I knew what it was anyway.
pliskin, I'm willing to wait for you to post. Sorry to hear you're affected by the stupidity in Baltimore. :embarrassed:
Pliskin? .. paging Pliskin?!! ..
Baltimore eh?! .. how about a 'what looted item is that?' Picture?!... too soon? ;)
Is it possible we continue and when he has a picture we switch back?
Fine by me.
Anyone with something to post, go for it!
if nobody else posts something within 12 hours, I'll give it a go.

Can't get really good look on phone screen, contrast/brightness not size issues! .. the cable bit and the square thing. . Is that it? .. just I think I see a bowling ball shape below/right of the square?
Please do!
Yeah, cable bit and something square, opening the image in a new tab (on a computer at least) helps a fair amount with seeing it.
That's a climbing nut. you use it to secure yourself, at the other end should be a loop, to put a carabiner on it. Am I right?
Oh man, Axe beat me to it!
Specifically, it's a jamb nut, but I say Axe takes it! :woohoo:
Well, mennobike should decide :)
True. He may be looking for a more specific guess, although I'd say your description is spot on, unless we're both totally fooled and it's something else entirely. :-[
Well it's a keychain version of a nut, but there's no way to tell from the picture. Didn't expect climbers on a moto forum, darn! Axe takes it.

Okay, standby, searching office....
That is what I did, and that was the most strange thing I had around, and it was to easy for you, I have to find somthing harder next time.
That's the trouble with a lot of these items, either you know it immediately or you'll never get it.
The really good ones are those that take some deep thinking and investigation.
That's really the point, to make us think and learn something new about the world that we didn't know before. :up:

Oh man, that's a tough one.
Looks like a mounting plate of some sort, but I know that's nowhere near specific enough. :dunno_black:
It is a mounting plate, but if you can guess what for then I'd say you got it.
If I could do that, I'd be psychic! :dunno_black:
Let's see if someone can get it. If not I'll give to you, elmojo.
Nah, my guess was way too general. Anyone can see it's a mounting plate, I'm just not smart enough to figure out what kind.
Hopefully some of the others will chime in with better guesses. 8)
Mounting plate for all your bits and bobs on that one thing so you can tie it all together?? :flipoff:
Give us a clue ragecage23, what industry?
Mounting plate for servos and stuff on a r/c car/boat/plane/drone. .. ??
It pertains to something that goes on a car.
Related to a racing seat perhaps?
Mounting plate for a seat belt.
Part of a roof rack/bar?
Nope, hopefully this hint will "light" the way. It goes under the hood.
Ignition coil mount? :icon_razz:
Engine bay work light for breakdowns/repairs in the dark?
Some kind of mounting bracket for a hedlight?
Boom, axexandru got it. It's a mount for a ballast.
Cool! For an HID, right?
OK axe, take it away! :thumb:
Beginners luck :)) Here you go.

Yeah for an HID. Is it some sort of tape measure holder?
Nope.
Trays for a food dehydrator?
Nope.
Filter cage?
No :)
Is it a stand of some sort?
No., not a stand
the lid to a salad spinner? - I don't know exactly what they are actually called, or exactly why they are used, but my wife has one.
Or a coaster?
No. I have never seen a salad spiner :))) i'm gonna google it :)
Can we get a size comparison?
Hot tub prefilter?
I think they're called lazy susans, Slack.
Is it some varient of a spool?
Yes, it is a varient of a spool, but for what? If no one gives a more specific answer, i will give it to you Iarn. It's about 15 cm in diameter.
Na, a lazy susan is the round spinning thing in centre of table for condiments or side dishes etc,
Spool for industrial weaving machine... carpets etc. .. ?
No :)
A spool for weed eater string?
No

I think you rinse veggies and use that thing to dry them :dunno_black: I eat my veggies dirt and all 8)
Spool for electrical wire?
And I've never seen one of those in my life, Slack.
No, not for electrical wire. It's a spool or a reel. One small clue, it is used in some sort of chemistry
Centrifugal seperator thing? Spins solutions to seperate them?
Aka centrifuge.
magnesium spool?
Not that kind of chemistry. It is used with chemical substance, and it was used a long time ago, now only passionate people use it.
And it's not some type of metal strip spool?
If it isn't a magnesium spoil, I have no idea.
I'm stumped.
No, it' some type o plastic that goes around it.
Hmm chemistry... spool. .. a dip tank spool for coating or anodising wire spools?
Hmmm it is a tank spool, as it goes into a tank and the substances goes in there also, but for what? It's not fo anodising wire. I like johnny cash, he has a song, god's gonna cut you down, it goes like this: What s been done in the dark will be brought to the light.
It's a film spool?
Great hint btw!
Oh I bet you that's it...
YES, it's a film spool, you put the exposed film on it (35 mm) and then you put it in the developing tank (you must do this in complete darkness), after you close the tank, you pour in the chemicals. first the developer, then the fixer, after a few minutes, you can remove the spool from the tank, and put the film to dry (in the light).
Take it away Iarn :)
Very cool!
That was a good one. Not too impossible to guess, but not super easy, either.

I am going to guess emergency blanket, or inflatable pool toy
It's really dark for me. Hard to make out what I'm looking at.
I think bluesmudge got it with emergency blanket. Let's see :D
Pocket size weather balloon! :cookoo:
Hmmm close enough for me.. emergency 'space' blanket! .. don't think the whole world calls them space blankets just emergency blankets. The 'Space' thing was one of the early marketing ploys, when everyone had to have space stuff cos it was ultra cool! , space food sticks, astronaut (dehydrated) ice cream etc!.

Man, this is a tricky one!
The level bubble tells us it's made to operate flat like it sits in the photo.
The 'window' appears to be mirrored. Can't figure out the pattern in the lens yet...
That looks like a Walnut body, possibly hand made.
Any of this help anyone? :dunno_black:
The object is inside in the picture, Elmojo. I see what looks to be a cabinet/cupboard. A printer or a cash register, and some other nic-nacs in the reflection. Rotate the picture 90 degrees and you see it more easily.
I see how the thing I thought was a tweeter speaker is a level, like you said. I still have no idea what it could be...
That is a bubble level, because it is indeed intended to be operated flat.
I will admit that this is a hard one, as it is fairly specific to my industry. Let me know when I should give another hint.
For astronomy?
Is it a device used to map the night sky? Works via reflection and you use those little square quadrants engraved on it to map areas more accurately or something?
You are on the right track as far as how its used, but its not for astronomy.
I think it's safe to say that we need another hint
Agreed.
Help us out Blue!
Here is a photo from the internet of this measurement device in use. That should help a lot. Who can get the name of the device?

Oooh, I know! It's the invisible measuring thingy! :flipoff:
You tease! lol
In use? Okay. Well, given your other hints and your confirmation of my previous guesses... forest canopy in the image? Does it map forest canopy coverage? Density, perhaps?
I see the photo now..wow that's huge. lol
I'm guessing it's for laying out greenhouse supports or similar?
Nah, not that big. Ota fitting in that person's palm.
The suspense is killing me.
Spherical Crown Densiometers
*Ding Ding Ding* We have a winner!
Now I see what it's for. You measure the crown of a single tree, I think.
Hopefully Blue will confirm and tell us how it's used. :)
That's amazing. I never would've guessed that name. I totally got the method of use correct. :icon_lol:
Yup, with a very concise answer, axexandru has it!
Iarn had the use correct. It is for mapping canopy density in forests.
Hold instrument level, 12" - 18" in front of body and at elbow height, so that operator's head is just outside of grid area.
Assume four equi-spaced dots in each square of the grid and systematically count dots equivalent to quarter-square canopy openings.
Multiply the total count by 1.04 to obtain percent of overhead area not occupied by canopy. The difference between this and 100 is an estimate of overstory density in percent. (Assuming each dot to represent one percent is often accurate enough.)
Make four readings per location — facing North, East, South and West — record and average.
What do you have next for us, axexandru?
Very cool!
Ok Axe, back to you....
Hy,
I am busy at work right now, don't have time for a picture. Iarn, since you got the method of use correct and without it I would have never find the name of the device, I thing you should take this one, if Bluesmudge is ok with that.
I really don't have the time now, sorry.
Alex
Canopy density device? .... I have one of them! .... it's made by husqvarna! .. 18" bar.... awesome for bringing the canopy down closer for inspection! ;)
Sure, I got your back Axe.

Got one that looks just like it sitting on my workbench.
I keep telling myself I'm gonna use it to make a knife handle one day.. :icon_rolleyes:
OK, my turn then?
Let's see....give this a gander:
[attachment deleted by admin]
Oh poo... I got mixed up who posted the challenge... my bad.... was nearly bedtime. .
Horse hoof bone is very similar. Ah well. Got my pic ready for whenever :thumb:
Presentation folder binder machine!
I know 'presentation' isn't the right term. But those plastic ring/spine folders you put the clear plastic sleeves in etc. My kids use them for school/university assignments and presentations
Dang Janx, give the others a chance! :cheers:
That's dead on. It's technically a comb binder, but yeah, it;s for binding reports.
Okay, show us what you have!
Hang on, I'm not at all happy with how that sounded. :-[
My phone don't do widescreen pics so I can't show what I have bro! Bahahaha. .
Anyway. . This was giving me LOTS of trouble lately, so I swapped it out for a new one.... fairly easy I think?
(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi940.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fad244%2FJanx101%2FMobile%2520Uploads%2FCAM00183_zpsxgrlsy0j.jpg&hash=208d65853270b7bd157b2b21c6e020e2b692a143) (http://s940.photobucket.com/user/Janx101/media/Mobile%20Uploads/CAM00183_zpsxgrlsy0j.jpg.html)
'Exploded' view, I opened it up to see why wasn't working!
Stator, clutch, something that goes on a motorcycle.
I was gonna say starter solenoid?
Some kind of timer?
Weed - eater string receptical
Hahaha not unless weed eaters have started using copper contacts and dielectric grease! :cookoo:
Yeah, it's a long shot, but you never know these days.
Some sort of battery terminal?
Ummm nope, to all. .. but mojo is closer so far, size/diameter reference.. about a golf ball...
Not bike bits... car bits!
Timing advancer for a really old car?
Quote from: Elmojo on May 19, 2015, 12:05:53 PM
I was gonna say starter solenoid?
This was tracking roughly right direction
.....
Hey my car is not really old!! And it don't have a timing advancer ... I think?? ..... It's turbo diesel!
... In related news I can now park anywhere I want!.... And will only miss the work train if I oversleep!
C'mon lads... I'm suffering smuglessness from not saying nope here! Lol ;)
I have no more guesses without some.....help....
maybe time for a hint?
Is that the horn button, and contact on the column?
Or a "stomp" high beam switch?
Based on the wear pattern on the copper contacts, I'd say it moves rotationally, at least in a limited fashion.
Can we get a rough size reference? I'm thinking it's fairly small, maybe 3" in diameter?
Repeat .. ;) .. Size of object is about golf ball size .. Maybe a wee bit bigger?
Rotational movement yes...
Mojos guess of starter solenoid was on the right track
My statements of giving me a lot of trouble lately and NOW I can park anywhere (instead of in specially selected spots) and won't miss the train unless I oversleep are salient to the items normal usage.
..
A fresh hint/s ... Sometimes it was fine, sometimes 3 actions .... Sometimes 30 actions .... Sometimes nothing .... Which is also why I had To choose carefully where I parked!!
My car is a manual/stick ..... In case you Yankee types still only drive auto/slushbox cars!! ... Manual was important to my situation!
Reverse gear switch?
Convertible top or sunroof/moonroof switch?
I have to assume your specially selected spots were on hills so you could bump start it.
Ooh you know how to reason things out don't you Slack!! :thumb: ..... Continue!
You said it's a turbo diesel, so I can't imagine bump starting is an option, unless you work on the edge of a cliff! lol
Clutch cutout switch? You know, the one that keeps the car from being allowed to start without the clutch depressed?
Internal guts of an ignition barrel..
What's an ignition barrel? :dunno_black:
you know - the bit you shove a key into and start things with (hopefully) :icon_mrgreen:
Oh, an ignition switch! :cookoo: :flipoff:
Quote from: Elmojo on May 21, 2015, 07:56:09 PM
Oh, an ignition switch! :cookoo: :flipoff:
That would be about the right size, with several electrical contacts. And I guess if the "on" always worked, it was just the "start" that had issues then bump starting would still get you running. Why didn't you just install a push button :flipoff:
If it is an ignition switch (not barrel - I stand corrected since the barrel is the keyed part and not the electrical bit) I shall let Elmojo take it - have just been roped into two days outside of technology coverage..
Yep ignition switch..... It's the electro side of the setup .. The key barrel simply has a little metal tang sticking out the end that slots into the end of the electro bit
:thumb:
Oh, that sounds like a real pain in the butt if it wasn't working right.
My dad had a similar issue on his motorcycle. He would have to switch it on and off until it finally made contact enough to start.
So, my turn then? Yay! :cookoo:
Ok gents, try this one....
[attachment deleted by admin]
ground clamp for some manner of old electrical piece. Maybe a lightning rod?
Negative. No pun intended. :icon_rolleyes:
A suspension wire/anchor?
Nope!
Tensioning device?
No, but that's on the right track in a very vague way....
Is it used in marine applications?
Looks like 1/2 of a latch for a strap securing loads.
Not used in marine applications, not half of anything.
Hints: It's a tool, it's not all that old, it's currently in use
Argh... another seen it and don't recall moment...
Something something pipework. ...
Is it used to bend something? Like pipes? Or crimp the end of them?
Sorry janx, not related to pipework, not a bender either.
Not related to pipe work
Not a bending device
Vaguely used for tensioning
Not used in marine applications
Not used for securing loads
Does it latch to anything and pull something into place?
Is it some sort of a plug, or a faucet?
Beats me.
Rage and Axe are the closest so far, if you combine their guesses.
Remember, it's a tool, and it's used in a general way for tensioning.
That's a fairly significant hint.
The physical condition of the tool (corrosion, rust, etc...) is NOT directly related the the tool's function, it just happens that my boss isn't very careful with his tools. :icon_eek:
Let me know when I need to give another hint.
Faucet for a hydrant, or something like that?
I'm gonna call that close enough!
It's a fire hydrant wrench.
We use it for opening hydrants to do flow testing.
Good job Axe, take it away!

According to the patent office:
"Connecting part, such as a plug or socket, preferably for miniature audio connectors"
It is a connecting part, as in it connects to a board. At the other end of the wire is the connecting part but that is not the end that i am interested in. It has nothing to do with audio connectors.
So it's a connector.
It appears to be very small, based on the texture of the table it's on, and I can see shrink wrap on the end.
There's really no way we could guess its use beyond that unless you give some context.

Exactly how I feel about 99% of the pics in this thread!!!
:icon_sad:
Hahahaha I know what you mean. :o
It's tough balance to post something that has enough details/context to be guessable, but not so much that it's too easy.
I think Axe needs to give a hint if he wants a more specific answer that simply "a connector".
Lead for a lighter plug base? As in car cigar/cigarette lighter
The whole connector is 10 cm in lenght, what you see there is about 8 cm of it. It connects to a board that is used in BTS towers.
Unrelated: The weather in Bucharest is verry hot and sunny: http://www.accuweather.com/en/ro/bucharest/287430/weather-forecast/287430
Bts tower?
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_transceiver_station
Uhh ok :thumb: ... so the wire/cable. .... the bit that connects the board to the antenna? .. no wire no signal broadcast?...
Possibly one of those 50cent parts taking down a million dollar installation type scenario?
:)) no, but it will tell you if aomething is wrong with the million dollar equipment
Sooooo. ... plug in diagnostic lead? ....
This is a bit esoteric for identifying!
I will take that as a correct answer, Janx take it away :)
It's a temperature sensor, it plugs in the board of the equipment where the antennas are connected.
Good guess Janx!
Ok dude, hit us with a good one. :)
Ok people, if you know specific name of this bit then sweet! But I don't. ... so what it is a part of will be fine!

Thermocouple?
Looks like the temp sensor for a refrigeration unit of some sort.
Bang! .. might be a thermocouple!? .. but yep refrigeration part! ... you up mojo! You glad you got it? Lol
Dang it!
Now I gotta find something.... >:(
Alrighty, give this a shot....
For reference, the metal X shaped part in the center is roughly 2.5" across.

Electric motor for........ vacuum cleaner?

Electric motor for........ vacuum cleaner?
Or a computer?
Nope, not a motor of any kind, although there is a motor in the photo... although it's barely in the frame and is mostly hidden by the other stuff.
Reminds me of the spring tabs that 9v batteries use. Is it some kind of electrical connector?
Nope, although there is an electrical component to the unit, as you can see from the wires in the background.
Those are connected to part of this system, but not directly.
I can't wait till I get one right. I have such a good challenge.
Here's your chance! :)
Heat sink for a light of some kind?
Nope.
It's mostly plastic, so it would be a terrible heat sink. :D
Ok, time for a hint: It's automotive-related.
air filter cover?
Something to do with the air ventilation?
Not, not related to intake or exhaust in any way.
Some part of the power supply?
Nope!
Time for another hint....
This is part of a system that's important for the safe and effective operation of the vehicle, but not directly related to any part of what makes it go, steer, or stop.
That help any?
Airbag deployment sensor?
Thermofan, back of thermofan to be precise?
Some part of the lights, like the part where the bulb is mounted, or something like that.
Nope to all those, but Axe is is the closest to far.
It's not really part of the electrical system per se, but it is powered, and has a motor as part of the system, as mentioned earlier.
Another hint: They say hindsight's 20/20, but sometimes things aren't exactly as they seem...
part of the radiator fan?
Nope, not a fan of any sort.
In fact, it doesn't even move that much, but it does a little....
Part of the motor or the system of the whipers.
Negative to all those. :cool:
My hint about HINDSIGHT was a big clue.
Reverse lights? Side mirror motor?
Bingo! It's the internals of a power folding mirror from a Toyota Sienna minivan. :)
Good job rage, take it away!
Yes!!! Alright let's give this one a shot.
(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1021.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faf336%2Fragecage23%2FB49397CC-7E02-44DA-AE29-1D2CD4E1F5CA.jpg&hash=ba864e0fe7c8ba2bf1748d32c5df1f81881d9531)
Looks like the sear for a small firearm of some sort. 22 pistol maybe?
Nope not a sear, and it's not for a .22
is it firearm-related at all?
Extractor for a semi auto 12 gauge?
Is that a safety lever for a 1911?
Ejector pin for a firearm.
I'm still waiting for rage to confirm if it's even firearm-related at all. :nono:
It is firearm related, but none of the guesses so far are correct.
Can we get a rough size reference?
It's the roughly the size as a quarter.
Magazine feed ramp thingy? . ..... I used to know that word for real ;/
Fold down sight.
Hammer??
Nope nope nope
Quote from: Janx101 on June 01, 2015, 08:38:01 PM
Magazine feed ramp thingy? . ..... I used to know that word for real ;/
I think you're thinking about the follower.
That's the one! Lol
Nah, the follower is attached to the bolt, and "follows" the cartridge. The feed ramp is what guides the loaded round out of the magazine into the chamber.
I figure we're got guessing right anyway, might as well learn something. lol :icon_rolleyes:
No, the follower is normally a plastic piece attached to a spring inside the magazine.
That's a magazine follower, totally different thing than a bolt follower.
Mag followers are almost never metal, at least not heavy gauge like the part in the photo.
In any case, I have no clue what the mystery part is. Can we get a hint maybe?
Do you have a picture of the follower you're talking about? I'm curious now. As for another hint, it's hard giving one without giving it away. Hmmm, the mystery piece doesn't move and is a part of a handgun.
The most common follower is what everyone calls the Bolt Carrier on an AR-15 platform rifle.
Also, on an AK-type rifle, it looks like this...(https://www.k-var.com/shop/images/d_1374.jpg)
Interesting. I don't own any rifles yet, so I wouldn't have known. Elmojo dropping knowledge...
Elmojo, I've never heard of anything like that called a follower. Even in the AK example, I'd still call it a bolt carrier. It doesn't simply follow the bolt, it holds the bolt and directly influences it's manipulation by camming and such.
But potayto potahto.
I guess magazine disconnect (magazine safety, not release switch).
Never herd that called a follower either :confused: (until just now of course, 1st time for everything)
It's a Locking Block?
Yeah, pretty much everyone (including the US army manual of arms for the M4 rifle) calls it a Bolt Carrier, but the "official" term, by the man who designed it, is "Bolt Follower".
You'll see the term 'bolt follower' used more often in auto shotguns, but it pretty much serves the same purpose.
Like you say, it matters not one bit in practical application, but that's kinda the point of this thread, right? lol
I'm ashamed to admit that I still have no clue what the mystery piece is.
- Appears to be stainless
- is a pistol part
- does not move
- is about the size of a quarter
wait....is it an ejector?
Edit: I see that Watcher guessed ejector, but I never saw where rage said yes or no to that...
Edit Edit: Actually, rage did say that ejector is wrong. Dang it, back to the drawing board... :2guns:
I'm wondering if it's the upper trigger plate. (what I mean by that is the bit through which the trigger would descend. The trigger guard would be attached to this thing, I guess?)
I think I got it.
It's a slide rail. Steel insert for a plastic framed handgun like a glock for the slide to ride on.
Slack got it. It's a locking block. Take it away!
My bad memory... yep follower is what y'all said.... so what's the bit that sits on top of a magazine spring then? ... it has been nearly 20 years!
It's called a follower lol
(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi228.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee70%2FLittle-X%2F015_zpsowgokhdd.jpg&hash=525a6f862dea0f5551d8939351bef7e9c5e7e956)
:flipoff:
Oh man Slack, that's a tricky one!
Obviously aluminum, seems to be anodized.
Looks like some sort of mounting bracket.
I don't see threads in the center hole, so maybe a centering bushing of some sort?
Any of this on the right track?
Regarding the "follower" discussion, both the bolt follower and magazine follower are called followers.
The common phrasing is "Bolt Carrier" and "Magazine Follower", probably to avoid just such confusion. :)
It is aluminum and there are no threads in the center.
8)
Is it a part to a telescope?
Nope.
Is it attached to whatever it's on?
No, that's just my dirty table, with some clean boxers, a quarter, and the mystery piece.
hint? this is a tough one
Hang on, Ragecage, what firearm was your piece from?
Guess:
Spindle for an RC helicopter?
Ok, so it supports something, 3 'legs' to seat into the thing it supports.
No thread centre. .. so it spins freely. ...
DJ turntable axle/support thingy... (pintle?)
Yeah, I was hoping to get a photo or description from rage also.
I think the last piece was from a GLOCK.
I pulled out my cleaning mat with a G17 schematic on it and it was shaped the exact same, part #21.
(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F08MG7RM.jpg&hash=1fdf17aecd457c4f7defa8d315e092981f594b05)
NOTE: part #29 is a "follower", not a "magazine follower" hahaha! :icon_twisted:
(I've always herd "mag. follower" and "bolt carrier" myself, but completely feel it doesn't matter. I just think it's funny that Glock just uses "follower".
Watcher is on the right track!!!
Quote from: Watcher on June 03, 2015, 04:55:03 PM
Hang on, Ragecage, what firearm was your piece from?
Yup, Glock indeed. A gem 3 G21 to be exact. And I KNEW it was just called a follower lol didn't want to start any trouble though.
And with that diagram there goes all my other challenges haha
Quote from: ragecage23 on June 03, 2015, 06:45:07 PM
And with that diagram there goes all my other challenges haha
As good an excuse as any to buy a new gun!
Glock only calls it a follower (not magazine follower) because it doesn't have a bolt follower, hence no reason to specify.
On other platforms (AR for example) there are BOTH magazine and bolt followers.
Benelli shotguns also have bolt followers AND magazine followers. In that case, the bolt follower is a separate piece that adds weight and inertia to the bolt, smoothing operation.
In a shotgun (tube-fed type), the "magazine follower" is commonly called the plunger, for some reason.
I knew I had seen that part before! I was working on my Dad's Glock a while back. :)
This new part has me stumped.
Janx's guess of a turntable spindle seems reasonable...?
Interesting. So I wasn't really wrong that it was a slide rail, just got beaten to it (and beaten with a more specific answer).
Quote from: Watcher on June 03, 2015, 08:25:50 PM
Interesting. So I wasn't really wrong that it was a slide rail, just got beaten to it (and beaten with a more specific answer).
The slide rail is different from the locking block. There are four rails embedded into the polymer frame that the slide, well, slides on. The locking block locks the slide back after an empty magazine.

That's wrong. That's part #26, "slide stop lever", and only part #26 is involved with locking the slide back. Follower lifts lever, lever fits into groove on the slide, slide gets captured.
The locking block cams the barrel into the lugs into the slide, locking the action into battery.
In retrospect I was wrong, the slide doesn't contact that whatsoever. I mistook it in the blowup diagram. Apparently on Glocks the side rails are permanently in the frame. My Ruger SR9 as well as my buddy's FNS9 both have a dual purpose block that is both slide rails and locking block.
Here's a hint: It's a tool.
And like I said, watchers guess about a spindle was on the right track.

So it's a type of spindle? Would I put a roll of seeing thread onto that piece then into the sewing machine?
And you know, I tried using a shotgun and I really didn't like it.
It is not a spindle, it is not part of anything, it's a tool used to work on something very specific. Something watcher may have mentioned in his spindle guess.
What were you shooting out of and at with the shotgun? High brass (slugs and buck) is painful, but field loads are pure fun.
Paper sux. But I love setting up 8 bottles randomly down range and seeing how fast I can make all 8 jump 10 feet in the air! And there is nothing like shooting clay pigeons. Very few things can replace the smile on your face after breaking several moving targets in a row and watching the pieces shatter down to earth. Don't get me wrong, the first one you ever break is great. But the first time you break 8 or 10 straight, your on cloud 9.
Blade balancer for RC heli?
not quite, but your close
Wheel balancer for RC car/truck?
Clay targets, didn't happen all the time but I used to get an even bigger smile when I got the sucker dead centre at close range and it just vaporized into a small cloud of dust! .. just BAM!
Push key for RC battery cover? ... fancy schmancy instead of usual slide job?
Or possibly push key for blade/prop/wheel release?
Nope, it is used for working on rc heli's, but it's non of those.
Hmmm, you're right, this is a tough one!
Are we talking about micro helis, or the larger 600-700 series monsters?
I know we're not allowed to ask direct questions, but I'm counting this as a hint. ;)
You can get bigger ones for bigger heli's and smaller ones for micro heli's. The one pictured is for a 450.
(Real, Hobby Grade Heli's, not mall kiosk stuff)
That you on the sticks there, Slack? :bowdown:
My buddy flies 3D, but not anywhere near that level.
Me, I'm just glad when I can fly a full pack without bouncing off the ground multiple times. :-[
Tick-Tocks were always my favorite moves when watching competitions. The physics and stresses involved are pretty amazing.
Ok, so it's a tool, and can be scaled to work with various size helis....
It's not a blade balancer.
Is it a diagnostic/adjustment-type tool or more of a normal operation thing?
In other words, is this a tools you'd use when there's nothing wrong with the heli?
Hell no that's not me, ha!
I can do some 3d, but NOTHING like that (my 3d often bounces off the ground too, lol).
The tool is sort of like a ruler for part of the helicopter.
It is Up-Side-Down in the picture, compared to how it would be used (to give you guys, and SBW if she's in here, a better view).
So its a guage? Is it for setting the blade angles so they're all uniform?
You use this before the blades are installed during assembly. But, If you didn't set this right, you could never get the blade angles right later, as what it effects is connected to the blades.
Rotor clamp alignment tool for a tri-blade head!
below the blade grips.
Standard 2 blade head.
You guys are really really close but not quite there, should I just call it?
Swash plate leveler?
Control arm adjustment tool?
It is a swash plate leveling tool.
take it away.
Finally! Whew, that was a tough one! :woohoo:
Ok, time to do the great search for something interesting to post....hang tight.
Ok folks, give this a shot....
And before some wiseguy chimes in, no, it's not a USB flash drive!
Would I really make it that easy on you? :cookoo:

High brass slugs were the only thing allowed on the range.
Axe, you're very close.
It's not really a dongle, since it doesn't have to stay plugged in, and not used for logging into a computer...
Certificate for signing is to a website or a vpn, or something like that.
Close enough.
It's a 2-factor authentication key for logging into a secure service.
Ok Axe, your turn!
Paging Axe. Paging Axe. Come in Axe.
Sorry guys, nothing until tomorrow :(
It's all good.
I won't know what it is anyway :technical:

Clutch something something.......
No.
Rotary cutter blade hub?
No
Here's what I can tell...
1) It's quite small, based on lint in frame
2) It's electronic, based on the kaptan flexible connector visible on the right side
3) It's very clean, so probably not a tractor part, for example. :)
You are right, I am not looking for a name, just what is it a part off :)
Disk drive?
Yeah, that's definitely the little doohickey in the middle of tray loading DVD/CD drives and players that holds the disk in place.
yes it is, your turn elmojo
Yay me! :woohoo:
Axe, while I look for a new photo to post, can you show us the whole thing, or at least a full name for it?

Mosin Nagant bayonet. Better get on cleaning that up! Looks like it may have been reamed as well...
I figured someone would get it right away. It's one of those "you either know it or you don't" things.
This one is junk. It was taken off a Mosin that I turned into a custom bolt gun project.
I have a few parts left over, like this bayonet and the original stock. Gonna find a use for them one day....
Ok Watcher, take it away!
I never would have got that. The mosin nagant is a beautiful rifle though, quite jealous.
They're not expensive, you should get one.
I've had several. They're fun to shoot, even if they kick like a rather unhappy mule. :sad:
Here's my current one...
The only things that are original are the bolt and chamber, everything else was replaced or reworked.

I've got an M91/30 that I was planning on but never ended up sporterizing. It's sitting in pieces at the moment. Also have an M44 side-folder, and that one is the beauty of the two! More fun to shoot because it's louder and lighter, it's just as accurate, and it also doubles as a flame thrower!

Go! Watch for size reference.
M44 side folder? Do you mean the bayonet side folds, or it has a folding stock? :icon_eek:
Part of a R.A.T. 7 (or 9) mouse?
Bayonet side folds, had m44 also. .. always remember earplugs!... can't imagine how soldiers weren't stone deaf from the little beast! Lol

Yeah, bayonet is permanently attached to the muzzle and it just swings out or folds in.
Nope, not part of a mouse.
I'd never use one of those Cyborg pieces of garbage anyway. Roccat makes the only mice I'll ever use! On the subject, got myself a mechanical keyboard finally. Been a long time coming, and I've purchased and tried out many but never ended up keeping any until now. Got a CM Storm Quickfire TK with the blue switches. Soo amazing to type on! Also just got a Razer Orbweaver for gaming. It's pretty legit. Still getting used to it, though.
No other guesses yet? Do you guys need a hint?
Yeah, I think it may be hint time. :)
Yeah, I've got nothing...
It looks so familiar....
Part of a putter?
It has a smaller part that it works in conjunction with to perform its designed function. The side farthest from the camera is of no particular relation to its function.
Hmm, there's an L on it... I've still got nothing. This is a good one!
The side closest to the camera has a specific shape that dictates its use.
Hmm... let's start some questions...
is the dimply stuff on the back side to help with grip?
:icon_rolleyes: ... Another item that I've seen over the years.... And no memory of what it is...
... Something something to line up/align something
And it's small...
... Hang on... It looks kinda like a screw holder thingy ... Saves the fingers from getting a screwdriver tip in them in difficult access situations..... Only ever seen them in plastic/polymer though...
Kinda like... But not exact

No, not even remotely, but a screw of a certain kind IS part of it.

It could be, I could see how it would, but I think the intended result was more aesthetic in nature.
New hint. It is used to work on something that is common on most two wheeled vehicles.
Common on 2-wheeled vehicles, but uncommon on 4-wheelers?
A shock adjustment tool?
Spoke wrench?!
Chain link tool?

Chain tool for a bicycle.
Dang, wouldn't have gotten that in years... makes sense how it works, though!
Alright, watcher, got anything else?
Janx got it.
Congrats!
Ok Janxy, hit us!
whoops! my mistake! Sorry Janx! :cheers:
It's 3am and I've been awake 15 mins. .. errk! .. find something today :thumb:
Elmojo, in actuality since its from a bike multitool the chain jig also happens to be designed to be taken off the screw and used as a spoke wrench.
Chain tool is what I was looking for, though.
That's cool, Janx' guess was closer, he can take it....if he wakes up long enough... :icon_rolleyes:
Terribly sorry chaps..... Life happened!
Anyway.. Hopefully easy to guess this one

Cor this one's easy!
It's a lousy photograph!
:flipoff:
Yeah well. .. potato cam was charged and ready to go eh!
Silver metal thing. .. 20mm along top edge... that's 3/4" in archaic measure! ;)
Glass cutter?
Indeed it is Mojo! .. away ye go! :thumb:
I've never actually seen one of that exact design before. The ones we have around here have a carbide wheel on the end.
Okay gents, give this a try...
It's the yellow thing, not the SD card beside it, that's just for scale.
This is another one of those things you either know or don't, so I'm looking for a fairly specific answer.
[attachment deleted by admin]
Shunt for a jumper set?
I have no idea what that is, so no. lol
I think it's a small cap for something, but i don't know what .....
Yeah mojo... until I saw this one all.I knew of was the wheel end type, but the little point is carbide and a tiny bit of industrial diamond apparently.... is a bit easier to use than the wheel one IMO ....
That yellow thing. .. reminds me of battery caps on little 6v acid jobs.... but it hollow. ... so... no idea! Lol
Looks like I picked a good one!
Hint: It doesn't really DO anything on its own, but you'll be glad you have one in certain circumstances.
Now that I think of it, that's not very helpful... lol
Another hint: It gets lost/discarded/forgotten pretty frequently.
Could it be a fiber optic patch cord protector, or a switch port hole protector, or a swicth expantion port protector, you know, the hole where the sfp goes ....
Not exactly any of those, but VERY close.
It is indeed a port protector/dust cover, but for what type of port specifically?...
It's not anything too esoteric. All of us probably have a device that uses this type of port.
rj11?

Now your just hitting the key board randomly. But, I guess if a room full of chimps will eventually type Shakespeare, then we can eventually guess this mystery bit. Is it a bjug9u24bkas? :icon_lol:

Yep!
It's a port cap for the phone line on my printer/fax machine.
Ok axe, take it away...
Pen tip for size referance. The actual thing is longer, it has about 20 cm, this is a part of it, it has around 2 cm.

Pretty sure I know what that is.... But I've got too much on my list at the moment to search up a replacement.. So I'll leave it alone ;)
Coiled part from an antenna?
Yes it is. Hope you have a better one Watcher, at least better then me :)
'Correct' name is piggy tail bit! ... coiled ... pffft ;) ;) lol
Hahaha right!
Oddly enough. some antennas are actually called pigtail coils. Not sure that sort of antenna this one is.
Maybe axe will post a photo of the whole thing. *Hint hint* :cheers:

Are we right?
Yup. Bottle cork. This happens to be from some of The Real McCoy 5year aged rum.

Dust buster corner attachment?
no
Inner tie-rod end tool?
Well Done.
Normally just called an inner tie rod tool.
Next.
Wooo I got one! Ok here's something... let's see how it goes. My phone is in the pic for size reference.
[attachment deleted by admin]
Popcorn popper? :cookoo:
Also, you need a new phone. :icon_razz:
Naw, not a popcorn popper!
Haha I have had that model of phone since 2010. :icon_rolleyes: The original I had finally broke in half back in December so I just went on eBay and got the exact same thing for $16. Idk maybe someday I will get a smartphone but for now I am still happy with my flipper. :kiss3:
Oh, don't get me wrong, flip phones are the real deal, that one's just busted. lol
I often wish I could ditch my complicated smartphone and just go back to a phone that, you know, MAKES CALLS clearly and reliably.
But then, I end up needing to do something that requires my smartphone, and I'm back in the pit. :bowdown:
There are times when I wish I could look something up while out and about... or play a game when I'm bored somewhere... but I just remember that it's good to not be connected to everything all the time.
I had some awesome games on my phone that broke, it could actually play versions of Wolfenstein and Doom that were fun and addicting... and I can at least check my yahoo mail and the weather. It is indeed nice to have a phone that always gets and makes calls... it is very small and I don't ever have to worry about updates haha... I also don't want to pay for a data plan and all that, it leaves more money for my vehicles :D
Is it part of a slide projector?
No sir
I know exactly what that is! Used to have one. I'm on 3000km truck trip tho, I have to make sure I have a replacement item before I blab a 'guess'
They great things eh Showbiz!
Hey Janx, if you know what it is, you can go ahead and guess.
I suggest that if you're right and don't have something to post, you can designate someone who does have something to take your slot, then you'll get the next round even if you don't guess it.
That sound fair to everyone else?
....yeah but part of the fun is tracking the idea/object down!... this is a good one actually, plenty of hint subject matter! ... give it some time! :thumb:
Yes yes the fun is in the guessing :D They are indeed pretty awesome things Janx :D
Is it a light housing for an adjustable lamp? Like at the dentist....
Not that either but I can see what you mean !
When I first saw demo I suspected foul play! .. then realised effect was legit! ... THEN looked at previous item with disdain!
It's the top of a Rainbow Vacuum maybe?
Omg you are sooooo close!!
The middle of a Rainbow?
The top of some vacuum not a Rainbow? lol
You looking at a parts diagram there mojo?
Nah, my mother in law had a Rainbow back in the day.
I seem to recall it looked like that. They have a water tank that the air flows through that strips out the dirt.
It is killing me how close you areeeeeee
Derierre mojo
Ooh! Ooh!
Thanks to Mojo and Google, I know what it is....
I think Janx or Mojo deserve it though.
No way, if you get it right, it's yours.
The game is a collaborative effort to some degree.
Besides, it's not like we're keeping score... wait, are we Janx? lol
This is so much fun... you all bring such a smile to my face :D
An aquarium for a Beta fish.... haha.
No scores... but someone take it, I've checked the truck and have nothing that wouldn't be instant :/
If nobody gets it by morning, I'll call it. I'm not allowed to take pictures of anything at work....
Don't they let you go home? :o
Only after working a 12 hour midnight shift....
Is it part of an oil bath air cleaner?
A rainbow vacuum water pan :)
YES you got it!! It's the water basin for my ancient Rainbow vacuum. When I bought my house a friend of mine gave it to me, complete with Aqua-Mate carpet cleaner, fancy attachments and all the paperwork. I glanced at the original receipt and holy balls this thing cost $1900+ and was bought back in the late 80's !! :icon_eek: Works pretty good still ;)

Ahhh! ... the infamous "jobber-whatsit module" .... happy to say I've never seen one of them ever! ;)
Sorry Janx, I don't have anything else around here at work, but it is a module :D :) so you are right, but what kind of module?
If nobody else have a more specific answer, it's yours.
Wait a sec, I SAID Rainbow water pan! >:( :flipoff:
Oh well, on to other things....
Dual ethernet connector/splitter?
Awe man Elmojo I am really sorry... I thought you only guessed middle and top. The water basin is the very bottom of the Rainbow vac, that's why I said you were close but not spot on. :oops:
Ah, I did actually say top, sorry!
I see what you mean, it was very close, not not quite the right part.
Ok, so what the heck is this new thing....? :dunno_black:
Looks like something hot-swappable. Thinking server...
Is it an ethernet switch?
It is FOR an ethernet switch , and it is a connector, not a dual one. What kind of connector?
POE?
nope, for what type of media?
RJ11 (telephone) line filter?
I'm guessing the 2 ports maybe be IN and OUT, since you said it's not a "dual" anything.
nope
SFP tranceiver?
Fiber module
Big Rich you got it :) it is a sfp module.
Cool! I made this a couple years ago, so it's a little bit.... weathered. I'm sure somebody will guess what it is rather quickly.

Is it for sucking out exhaust fumes so you can work on the bike in the garage with the door (mostly) closed? In which case the tube is snaked in there just for storage?
You're on the right track Watcher, but no. Not for exhaust fumes.
Solar heating box. .. for...... really small pool? Or fish pond maybe to circulate warming water so fish don't become ice blocks?
It appears to be a solar heater like Janx said, but for air, not water.
Can't imagine what for....
preheater for an air exchanger?

Close enough for me! It's a solar heater that I hang in a window during the winter months. If you look around online for a "soda can solar heater", it's the same concept. But I found out soda cans are next to impossible to work with.
Good get Mojo!
Wow, pretty cool! Or warm, actually. :icon_rolleyes:
Ok, gotta find something....
Alrighty, give this a gander.
I suspect one of you old coots will recognize this right away. (that was a hint, BTW)
For size reference, the electroscribed lettering is roughly 1/4" tall
[attachment deleted by admin]
I have NO clue... anybody out there? :tongue2:
Oh goody, maybe I picked a tough one! :icon_mrgreen:
Bean counter?
lol no.
Wouldn't be part of an old sewing machine, would it?
Negative.
Here's a hint: It's a tool, but is not part of anything that's used to make or create anything else.
(For example, a sewing machine is used to make stitched items)
:technical: I've got nothing
Is it for audio equipment, like a record player?
Nope.
It's a tool, but it's not used to make, adjust, modify or repair any other thing.
Almost looks like an old profilometer....
Is it used to diagnose or measure something?
I don't know why but I think it's for locks and keys somehow
Nope, not a profilometer (or related to locks Janx), but Rich in on the right track...
It does indeed measure something.
Measures the angle of the dangle!?
I just LOLed here at work hahaha :icon_lol:
Is it for measuring tension?
Measures - yes
Dangle....err....no
Tension - no
Depth gauge for a whatzit
Nope, not a depth gauge.
It measures a single parameter, but in a very complex way.
It's no longer a tool that you'll see in use, since we now have other, simpler (potentially more accurate) methods of obtaining the same data.
Any of this help?
... tumbleweed here! ...
Tachometer, or something to measure lengths of wire / rope / whatever?
Nope, although you're kinda on the right track.
Ok, time for a hint I think...
It was originally sold to a technical college in the 70s for one of their design schools.
It's used to measure one thing, but the magic of this device is that it turns the thing it measures into another type of measurement that's more useful to the user.
Wire gauge?
Not a wire gauge.
Read the hint above, it should get you thinking along the right lines...
Technical colleges have lots of courses usually, with probably many measuring devices..... can we narrow the field of learning a little?
As mentioned above....design school.
Specifically, landscape and architectural design.
Helps measure scale, probably spits out an "actual size" number through proportions? :dunno_black:
Sooo close!
Find the proper name and what exactly it measures the scale of, and you'll take this round.
Someone else take it! There's no way I can post anything for the next 2 weeks, Janxie would burn me at the stake!
Mojo, it doesn't measure pressure does it?
Yeah Menno, Janx and I both would be upset if you didn't post. :mad: lol
Nope, not pressure.
Menno was REALLY close with his "scale/conversion" guess...
I'm not burning anyone... too broke for the lighter fluid this week! ;)
Map scale? Building plan scale.
Like you input the real distance an d it ghives you the distance that you need to draw on the map?
In the interest of moving on, I'm gonna say that axe takes it.
It's a K&E Compensating Polar Planimeter.
Back in the days before computer design software, you would take a map or aerial photo and use this device to 'trace' the outline of an area you want to know the size of.
It would calculate the area in square units, typically sq ft.
OK Axe, all yours!
Axe? Helloooo?
Did the game just die?
I realized this morning that no one had posted in 10 days! :o
:)) No it did not die, I have been out off town with Zuki, now I'm at work, will try to find something over here. If you have anything Elmojo, you post something so we could move on.
Thanks, and sorry :)

HDMI cable with a dust cap?
Maybe USB-C, can't tell the size....
The size is normal usb. Not hdmi, not usb-c
Not a good ol' firewire connector?
Looks too thin to be Firewire.
I wonder if that's just a dust cap, or does it stay in place when connected?
No firewire. It stay in place when connected. I will attach a pic with a size reference when i get to work in an hour or so :)

That a yellow tip or beige/dark cream tip? ... USB 3 for a portable storage device? ..
Not sure if USB 3 and USB C are different country terminology for same thing?
No, USB 3 is the transfer protocol and typically refers to the data transmission speed.
USB-C is a new type of connector that is reversible (like Thunderbolt) and I think is small like micro-usb.
Hmmm it's yellow, ad it's not a usb
It's time for a clue??
Looks like it.
You picked a tough one. :cool:
It can only connect to a specific brand of laptops.
Apple?
Never!
Hahaha yeah I hear that!
Ok, so not Apple....is it made to connect to a Toughbook or similar ruggedized laptop?
no, nothing rugged, and nothing like the Panasonic toughbook
USB type-C ?
Not a USB, it has the same form as a USB, but it's not.
HP
No, not HP. I hope that we are not just guessing laptop brands now, no??
Is it a power connector for a Lenovo X1 laptop?
Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk
Malfruen got it. It is a power conector for a lenovo laptop, a x240.
Ah, very cool. I never would have guessed it.
Good job Malfruen, take it away!
He must be out in the barn looking for some esoteric "olden days" item. ... come on bush boy! ! ;-p lol :thumb:

This one should be pretty simple. It's all I could get a hold of in a hurry.
O_o ... simple he says! ... looks blacksmithy. ... but for what I don't know?!
It's a tool rest for a wood lathe.
In fact, I'd guess for a Chinese import lathe. It looks just like mine. :)
Elmojo has it. It is a tool rest for a Wood Lathe. It's going to be my new toy when it's all cleaned up. Not too sure where the lathe is actually from yet, we got it out of storage this week. It's ancient, I know that much, but thats about it.
Post a photo of the rest of the lathe when you can, I'll help ID it and see if there are parts and such available.
Ok, what to post.... gimme a sec.
I would love to see pics of the lathe too... I was the only one in high school that wanted to learn how to turn in shop. The lathes had plastic covers on them with about a half inch of dust... I pretty much begged my teacher to uncover them and teach me.
He did and it was awesome :icon_mrgreen:
I really wish I had taken shop classes in High School.
I'm making up for it now, but I'm sure it would have been fun.
Ok, give this a look-see...
[attachment deleted by admin]
I wish I would've taken more shop classes in HS. I took it for one year and made a CO2 powered car, along with some other rockets. No lathes, mills, welding, etc.... how ironic.
Anyway, I'm guessing some kind of tool..... maybe a pipe cutter?
rj45 crimp tool
BOOM, just like that, we have a winner! :woohoo: :cookoo:

C3PO's butt plug? ;)
:))))) no, janx, sorry, C3PO butt plug it's a more advanced technology. This one is realy easy considering the other pictures that were posted here :)
I think I'm gonna watch Star Wars tonight.
I guess we're to assume it's NOT a standard CAT5/5e/6 cable?
Maybe a molded phone cable?
It is a CAT5e cable, but I am looking for the name of that terminal.
RJ-45
:))) yes it is. Sorry for the easy one, but it was so natural to put the photo of the terminal after the photo of the crimp tool :)
Well, I've tried twice now to post a new one, but I get an error that the upload folder is full.
Can an admin fix this please? :cheers:
You can upload the picture on imgur and post the link here :)
I have been getting the same message. Not sure why
I think a site admin needs to clean out the temporary folder or something.
I'll wait until it's working. I've never had success trying to host images off-site.
Well folks, I've tried to contact an Admin via email, but can't get a reply.
Does anyone have a way to contact someone who might be able to fix the upload issue?
I have a good one to post, too! :icon_twisted:
Janx said in another thread that the sites capacity was pretty overloaded. I believe he recommended posting pictures via Photobucket or something similar?
I don't know for sure the capacity but I do remember few years ago that it was mentioned/recommended to host images off site and link in... when Adidas was still here :`( ... he setup part of his own business server as a host site also.
Pm Buddha with query I think. .. he is techy and either had admin access or knows who does... I only have moderator access.
:thumbl
I just host on ImageShack.com
I have a basic membership, it equates to like $2 a month for a pretty large amount of picture storage. I often to picture reviews on forums so it was worth it for me. If you don't want the membership and don't care if your images "roll over" as you max out the limit, a basic profile is free to own and use.
Me and Imageshack don't get along.
I forgot I can share direct links from my Dropbox account.

Not a seismograph, but it does record something....
Polygraph?
Nope! I wouldn't lie to you.... :icon_lol:
Tisha boom!
Tisha? I do not know that woman. 8)
Morse code thing?
Nope! Good guess though.
Aneroid barometer cells? from an old fashioned analogue barometer?
*Ding Ding Ding* We have a winner!
It's a recording barometer, from a sailboat that one of my clients used to live on.
It still records, but he hasn't changed the paper in a while, so it's drawing spirals on the drum. :)
Very cool to see a visual graph of the past weather, especially when a storm comes through and it drops like a stone. :cool:
Good job Kiwi, your turn! :up:
Absolutely have to admire the workmanship in some of the old analogue instruments out there - saw a working example of one in a jewellers not too long ago.
Since it is a Friday and I am sitting on a work PC here is something vaguely unusual and somewhat expensive to maintain.

Some kind of gripper for indexing?
All the parts of the "jaws" appear to be fixed in place by the pins and bolts.
Is it a blade guide for a huge bandsaw?
Bandsaw doesnt strike me as "expensive to maintain".
It does seem like a piece of production equipment, though...
It does grip - but what?..
It is expensive to maintain due to what it grips not being able to be removed from operation very often. Definitely not a bandsaw part.
hint - notice the tubes it is attached to
Looks extremely familiar for some reason.
Does it involve ropes?
Also, I don't see any tubes in the photo, which part are they?
red and black, on the left edge
Something something insulator clamp something?
Can we get a size reference?

Oooh so close.. whats the opposite thing to this?
size - about your hand (size L glove)
A conductor!
For heat or electricity.
Elmojo has it - it is a busbar conductor grip. It is attached to an itty bitty vacuum circuit breaker which is rated 3.3kV @ 1200A
So are the tubes vacuum lines?
Cool stuff in any case.
Ok, give this a shot...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gh5sf5l26gdb6tj/thingy.jpg?dl=0
The vertical tubes are the vacuum chamber housing assemblies - I figured posting a picture of a 3000HP electric motor which was at the same site would have been a bit too easy to guess..
Pretty sure I have a suspicion of what you have posted - here it is to save others some time.. sweet post if it is what I think it is. :thumb:

Your backroom methlab mojo? ;)
I'd love to see the whole machine that clamp hooks to, Kiwi
I suspect your suspicion is correct. :icon_eek:
Go ahead and guess it, if you have something new to post.
Hahaha nah Janx, my meth lab is all underground, much darker in there. ;)
Probably be scratching here at the moment to find something interesting - I do like the hint you gave Janx :cheers:
Oooh ooh... lighthouse globes/bulb assembly! ..... though why it would be underground I know not!?
Gollum got lost on the lake?
Correct!
It's the light head from the Bodie (pronounced Body) Island lighthouse south of Nags Head, NC.
The light itself doesn't rotate, it flashes. It's amazing that it's run from a rather dinky-looking electric feed. The whole thing is only a couple feet tall. The bulbs are only about 8" high each.
The magic here is in the full height Fresnel lens array. The Forest Service guy I spoke with said it's visible to 12 miles on a clear night.
Those lenses are flat amazing.
The underground comment was in response to your guess of it being a meth lab. I keep my meth lab underground to hide the heat signature from the cops with heli-mounted FLIR. LOL
Oh man, this post is totally gonna get me a visit from my friendly neighborhood DEA agent. :cheers:
Ok Janxie, take it away...

hrm ok ... i dont use dropbox so im unsure how you are getting your link info.... i think from looking at your post that you might be copy and paste the address bar info??
i use photobucket .. and to the right of my pics there are a few options for link info to click on... i normally use the direct info one which gives me ... http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad244/Janx101/Mobile%20Uploads/CAM00183_zpsxgrlsy0j.jpg (as example) .. which i insert into the image button result ...

theres also the PB url link info ... again the [ is removed from the image bit .. but there is another line of info that doesnt show up on screen for some reason... being =http://s940.photobucket.com/user/Janx101/media/Mobile%20Uploads/CAM00183_zpsxgrlsy0j.jpg.html] .. with the [URL removed so hopefully it shows up

pretty sure that imgur has a similar setup with links to click/copy??
dropbox .. ? ? ? ?
... which doesnt help that much because when i look at my own post its...... messy
end of the day ... its ultimately easiest to use the free Photobucket (or imgur) thingies to store your images .. then use the little mona lisa button to insert the direct link info... OR use each sites URL link info thingy to directly put the hosting information into your posts..
:dunno_black: :dunno_black: :dunno_black:
That's exactly what I'm doing.
Dropbox has direct links, just like PB or any other image hosting site.
When I use the 'mona lisa' button, it results in a broken image that doesn't show up at all in the post.
Not sure what could be the issue....
If the URL isn't a direct link to the picture, it won't insert the picture correctly. At least, not in my experience.
For example, this page:
http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product%20Lines/Cycles/Products/GSX-R600/2015/GSXR600.aspx inside of IMG brackets wouldn't really do much.
But this page:
http://www.suzukicycles.com/~/media/397559B5978A4B1395E89BFB1F648562.ashx?h=344 inside of IMG brackets would display the picture of the Gixxer...
I've almost always used file hosting sites like Imageshack, because they take all the BS out of it. Upload image, click on image, select tag, copy, paste, done. No insert image, no manually adding brackets, no attachments, just copy, paste, and go.
If you look at the link I posted, you'll see that it's a direct link to a jpeg image, and should work fine. I'm not sure what's wrong with it.
In any case, you can click the link you'll see the latest mystery object.
Stop stalling, start guessing! :icon_rolleyes:
The link is just fine, i have no idee what that thing is, but the link is fine :)
Could be a sharing/permission/ country issue then?
And the thing..... reminds me of a surveyors level thingy
Nope, not a level, though it is used to adjust something....
Adjuster for sights on a firearm?
Closer, but no.
It is somewhat firearm-related, but is not part of a gun.
Is it used to mount something on a gun? Like a laser sight?
Sooo close...
yes, used to mount something to a gun, could be a laser I guess, but that's not what it's really made for.
One more guess should get it. :cheers:
Flashlight?
Close enough!
It's an adjustable mount for an IR illuminator.
The knobs let me adjust the beam to be centered in the night vision rig at whatever range I'm currently looking.
Ok axe, it's all you now :up:
Here it is:
http://i.imgur.com/XHaNnlQ.jpg
Oooh, I think I know exactly what that is, but I'm not sure if I have anything good to post right now.
I also can't seem to recall the correct name for it.... :dunno_black:
Yep Mojo! .. deffo one of them! ... umm thingummy! ... damn! :/
Exactly!
I know what it is, but not the proper name, since I've never used one, just seen them used.
If I find something interesting to post, I'll go ahead and guess and see if I'm right.
Well if you can tell me what is it used for it will be good enough for me
Ok.
I think it's a tilesetter's square.
It is a square but not for tile setting.
Aw man, I thought I had it!
There was a tilesetter on a job I worked on once that had a square exactly like that one. I recall the odd finish on it.
We used to joke with him about his "tin foil" square. :)
Oh well, shows what I know!
Maybe it was a square like this one. I use it for a different job but maybe it could be use for tilesetting too
It's widely used across many builder trades.... carpentry, tiling, plastering, boilermakers..... it's also a very "old" tool in origin!
Sounds like you know what it is, Janx. Why don't you go ahead and guess?
ohhh, well, then it goes to Elmojo as he had it first, it is a square after all :)
I use it for woodworking.
Please post a pic from a different angle; sounds interesting.
Thing don't look square to me :confused:
It's folded. :)
http://i.imgur.com/fdDq2HK.jpg
Ok, back to me then?
Give this a gander....
right here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/gh5sf5l26gdb6tj/thingy.jpg?dl=0)
How big is it?
It's just an adjustable carpenter's square. You can set it to any desired angle to mark a piece of timber for an angled sawcut.
When I was a kid there would be one of these in every man's shed! (Jeez I'm not THAT ancient are I?)
Bluddy'ell if you think this is a mystery I've got a few that'll strain a brain!
So it's the same as the last thing i posted ? :)))))))
Wait, I'm confused...
Axe, are you saying that the link I posted looks like your square?
My new mystery item should be shown in that dropbox link. Let me know if it does show right.
No, Joolstacho said that your item is an adjustable carpenter's square, just like mine. Hmm, now that I think about it, maybe he was referring to my item :))) Sorry for the confusion :)))))
LOL right!
Yeah, mine is definitely not a square. In fact, it's not really a tool at all.

Bluddy'ell if you think this is a mystery I've got a few that'll strain a brain!
I've got one, just not that exact design.
I also wouldn't call it a square. It's not a square. Squares make 90* angles, some times 45* angles.
That is a bevel gauge, also called a T-bevel, a sliding bevel gauge to be specific. But not a square.
T-Bevel! That's the word I couldn't think of earlier. :icon_rolleyes:
Anyway, any guesses on the new item?
a flip up sight?
Sorta, but probably not what you're thinking...
You folks give up?
Do I need to give a hint?
hints are helpful
Slack was on the right track with the sight guess, although it has nothing to do with guns or firearms of any sort.
What else needs to be "aimed" to function correctly?
Another hint: It's very old. Not 1800s old, but 50s-60s I'd say.
I had already picked that up from your earlier comments ;)
What has me tripped up are the 3 "v"s one in each color. And are the colors important? Green, Red, and Yellow seems like something electrical.
I'm honestly not sure what the V's are for. It's not electrical at all.
In fact, the entire device uses no electric at all.
What needs to be aimed? ... a shark with a frickin laser on its head!!
Some part of a projector / enlarger?
no, no electricity.
A crossbow!
:dunno_black:
Nope to all, but I LOVE the laser shark idea! :woohoo:
Ok, another hint....
What type of product would you use, that needs to be aimed to work properly, and that you'd care about different sizes of "sighting"?
This is really obvious when you see it, but you need to be older than about 45 years old, or a bit of a historical equipment buff to recognize it.
It was made in the US, by one of the true "classic American" companies.
Don't get too hung up on that last part, it's just a minor hint....
Is it to estimate distance?
Kinda sorta....not exactly distance, but something that changes with distance.
Perspective changes....
perceived size changes....
Women changes!! ... at 100 yards you can see a damsel in distress!.... at 10 yards you can see an old harridan screaming at her imaginary friends!
.....
Part of surveyors sighting gear maybe?
DDW - Distance Does Wonders :D
Not for surveying, but very close.
It's not a "tool" per se, but it is a piece of equipment.
Just mostly for recreation, or at least it was. Pretty much no one uses these any more, since the supplies it requires are difficult to obtain.... (hint hint)
It measures boobies at a distance?! ... weird!.... I prefer measure up close!.... but as you say they can be difficult to obtain! :D
Oddly enough, you could use it for that!
I agree, though, closer is better... :icon_twisted:
So guys are really close.
It's not a measurement tool, though.
In fact, it's not really a "tool" at all, at least for most people.
It's old, not something you can go out and buy new, although there are products that serve the same purpose.
An analog camera, or a visor for one?
Close enough!
It's a flip-up viewfinder for a Kodak Brownie 8mm video camera.
The camera itself is broken, but I'm thinking of using the lenses for a project.
Good job axe, take it away!
Elmojo, I would love to see the whole thing :)
Here is mine, sorry for the bad quality, and bad editing:

Hot shoe mount for a camera?
Of course, based on image quality, it could be Sasquatch! lol
I'll post a photo of mine shortly, waiting for the image to upload...
picatinny rail mount?
Nah, not a Picatinny, the rail section is rectangular in the photo.
Yes it is a hot shoe mount :) ok Elmojo, your turn.
Dang! I didn't think that would be it! :icon_rolleyes:
Ok, now I gotta find something interesting....
By the way, here's the link to the whole photo (https://www.dropbox.com/s/g3xwq8tlkg36kp3/2015-09-17%2018.16.10-1.jpg?dl=0) of the flip-up viewfinder on the Brownie.
Sorry guys, I haven't forgotten the game, I just can't find anything post-worthy.
If anyone else has something to share, go right ahead. :up:
Bump.
I love this thread, what happened? It's been almost a month.
Me too. I ran out of interesting things to post, and no one has picked up the ball.
Also, having to link to images from online sources is REALLY annoying.
I for one find it difficult to overcome the mental hurdle of bothering with the extra steps involved, when it should be so easy. If the admin(s) would just clean out the old junk, we wouldn't have this problem. >:(
Anyway, hang on, I think I have something here....
Ok, give this one a shot (https://www.dropbox.com/s/gh5sf5l26gdb6tj/thingy.jpg?dl=0)....
spectrometer? Like, for determining the compositions of different gasses?
Negative, although it does relate to gases (or a gas) in some way.
Some thing to do withe plasma?
Possibly. I'm not certain whether plasma is involved in the process, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised.
Sorry, I know that's not really helpful. lol
It looks like one of the valves from an "old school' Marshall amplifier. . Kinda
Nope, definitely not related to audio equipment in any way, although the amplifier part is oddly close....
Something to do with a laser?
Correct, now what exactly...?
No, no, no, I don't want to be the one who get's it, I have nothing good to post ...
I know the feeling!
I actually found one more thing to post after this one, but it's so obscure that it's not really fair.
I had to look it up myself to even figure it out. lol
A souvenir laser blaster component for the new Star Wars movie.
Haha no, but you could probably make something Star Wars-y looking from this. It would be a waste of an expensive part, though. :bstar: hint hint :bstar:
Glass tube of a CO2 laser.
Or, uh, part of a light sabre?
*Ding Ding Ding* we have a winner!
Correct, it's a lasing tube for a CO2 cutting laser.
Take it away Watcher!
Ok, this is either really obscure or immediately recognizable...

Eh, couldn't really find anything else in the house that was even remotely close to being difficult except that. Maybe next time I'll take apart a vacuum cleaner or something...
I know!
It's always tough to find something that at least someone doesn't know immediately.
Ok, take a look at this thingy (https://www.dropbox.com/s/gh5sf5l26gdb6tj/thingy.jpg?dl=0)....
If you cats get this one without some serious hints, you're all way too smart to be associating with the likes of me. lol
Fancy Moonshine still!
No, but it would probably work for that! lol
Reminds me of a van der graaf generator but the tubing kills that idea. A centrifuge possibly?
Looks like it belongs on a satellite or space craft! Soooooo shiny goldy! !
But it could be a Dalek scrotum?!
Not a graf, not a 'fuge. In fact, to my knowledge it doesn't move at all when in operation, but you're roughly in the right field of science...
Gee Janx, thanks for the visual. :sad:
Synthetic gemstone maker part.
Or
Fuel Pressure Regulator or Fuel Management Unit
Negative to both, but I like your creative thinking!
Ok, this is a really tough one. Time for some hints I think...
1) This type of device is typically used in a diagnostic, measurement or calibration role, although this particular one is used for something totally different, not that that matters for the guessing.
2) The size (as indicated by the ruler) isn't particularly important for guessing either, since they come in various sizes.
3) The fact that it's gold colored (brass in this case) isn't significant for the type of device in general (they come in all sorts of colors/outer case materials), but is for the particular application for which this exact one is used.
You know, now that I reread those, they may be more confusing than helpful. Good luck! :up:
some manner of fancy crucible?
or a calorimeter
Nope, you're slipping in the wrong direction.
It doesn't deal with anything physical, at least without getting into fairly complex math and physics.
For us regular humans, we'd say it works in the non-physical realm, I think.
Fancy barometer? Measures pressure somehow?
Vacuum related?
Vapour collection chamber for argon laser. ... or war helmet for a shark with a friggin laser on its head! ;)
Watcher and Janx, you guys are both getting closer.
Watcher's idea about measuring pressure is closer to the normal use for this type of device, while Janx's guess of a vapor chamber for an argon laser is actually VERY close for this particular item!
Can I play?
Is it a xenon dark matter detector?
Absolutely, anyone is welcome!
Okay, since I have no clue if that thing exists, then I'm gonna say no. lol
Nah, it's not a dark matter detector.
So far, Janx is the closest with his argon laser guess, but it's not a vapor chamber.
What other type of "chamber" might a laser use, especially a rather powerful one?
Cooling chamber!
Still very close, but not for cooling.
What is the main "substance" that lasers work with?
helium gas laser bell
Plasma chamber
Vacuum chamber for shooting lasers into.
Very very close. In fact, I'm almost inclined to call it.
Let's try one more pass to see if we can nail it down just a bit more.
It is indeed for "shooting lasers into", but it's not vacuum inside.
Why would you shoot a laser into a sealed ball? What would be the purpose?
A huge hint is that this device performs no actual 'work', per se.
You don't use a laser to heat it up to boil water, for example.
However, if you have a fairly high-powered laser, you'd be very interested in using this device, at least once...
Any of this help?
Oh crud, I just went back to scan old guesses, and I just realized that mennobike just about had it, and I totally missed his guess somehow!
Guys, I'm really sorry!
I screwed this one big time. I'm calling it over. :mad:
It's an integrating sphere for measuring the total output power of a CO2 laser. This particular one is rated for a laser in the 3KW range.
It's not mine, and I have no personal experience with it, so I can't provide much more detail than that.
Ok menno, take it away. Hopefully you'll do a better job of moderating the next round than I did. :technical:
:woohoo: Looks like this education I'm getting is actually useful for something! Although my guess wasn't really that close..
Let me take a look, in any case!

Rocker switch top for a electric window?
No. It's not electrical at all.
Hint time!
The top (away from the key) is shaped very specifically. It's curved on the side towards the camera, and more or less flat on the other side, but is shaped pretty much like a triangle.
is it a switch (non electircal)?
Not a switch at all.
You don't push it, it does the pushing.

umm... what's the thing? :dunno_black: :dunno_black:
Lol. .. I don't know! .. it's Watchers thing!...
However... looking again and having a quick think. . Maybe a "key"? .. used for releasing or locking a simple low usage pressure thing?
Alright. Looks like you guys aren't going to get it and I can't think of any good hints. I'll post something new.
Anyway, it's a follower for a 9mm magazine.

Spindle of some kind.
Or maybe one side of like an oil pump or something.
What kind of size are we talking there?
Looks like a fancy fuel filler cover/fitting? ... aero perhaps?

It would fit in the palm of your hand. It's a precision part, and does spin. Not a pump or anything automotive.
Dang guys, I'm really sorry about the game!
Got buried under schoolwork and then my old computer shat itself, I completely forgot about the game!
No guesses on this one, though... is it used in measurement?
It is not used in any form of measuring.
It is a part of a bigger device. It spins via electricity...so it's a motor of some kind.
Motor for spooling tape? Maybe VHS or Cassette? Its hard to gauge the scale of the thing.
it's from a hardisk, it is used to hold the plates

is it a part from inside some carbs?
Is it a mold of some sort??
Yeah, but carbs of what motorcycle?
I don't have a guess but just wanted to bump the thread to maybe keep the game going
yeah I've got no idea on which carbs those would be from, sorry...

Is this an inside joke or do you think he got the answer wrong? I pulled these parts out of GS500 carbs meself.
Nah Buddha wants him to also guess which year's carbs those came out of
Nice, ok,
Since I have nothing to post :P I will guess 1989 :P :))
My reading comprehension is terrible. I didn't get the joke because I read it wrong... embarassing.
1989 is in the right range.
Ok someone step up with a new picture for the game.
Okay here's one. My thumb holding the penny in the pic is for size reffffffffff
(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FaFfcZrJ.jpg&hash=8e6483c8737c610b68d935a40ef07f29e976a984)
Motion detector?
Garage door sensor?
Electronic finish line?
Bar code scanner?
Toilet Flusher?
No, it's none of those but they certainly are good guesses!
So the clear rectangle is a shield, protect eyes I reckon...
the aperture in the white dome thing means something long and narrow....
Zooming in... looks like the little dingus inside the dome is a sliding/reciprocating head? Holding maybe a tungsten blade/tooth? ...
(This is sounding silly if I'm way off track!) ...
Like a specialist knife or blade sharpener? ... metal sampler/notcher? ...
Looks like a laboratory machine or butcher/deli machine....
That's as close as I can get right now!
You are good at this guessing Janx !! Ok, yes to the shield thing protecting... yes to the thingy inside the white dome being mobile... and yes to it being a lab machine !
You also said notcher... that is getting close !!
Anyone out there have a guess ? I don't wanna let adidas's game die... :icon_sad:
Wups! Forgot! Sorry! ..
Takes samples? ... if samples... then of what? Hmmmm
Metallurgy sampler?
It is totally okay Janx ;) No, not a sampler... but it can be used to *thinks how to put this* ... it can be used to make part of something sample-able !
*stares at screen in frustration* :technical:
So, its lab equipment, has a clear guard, and is small. . . is it an aperture for testing the contents of the box its attached to? :dunno_black:
No it doesn't do any testing... and the box it's attached to is the rest of the machine. You put something down in where the narrow apparatus is....
Ahh I know! .. you get a kiddie... tell them you gonna fix their sore finger... in the slot it goes... KaChunk! ... no more sore finger! ... all gone! ;)
Bahahaha
Is it for cutting? Like cutting glass tubing for scientific testing? :dunno_black:
Omg you are very close!!!
It does something to tubing... not glass tubing though... that enables testing on what is in the tubing but won't contaminate the rest of what it's attached to...
surgical tubing sanitation via radiation? :dunno_black:
This machine isn't used for surgical tubing (at least not at my job)... but it IS used for tubing that's used in the medical / hospital setting...
No radiation involved here...
catheters?
:icon_lol: hehehe
no not catheters but the tubing does have fluid in it when it's put into this machine
Does the tube contain organic or inorganic material? :icon_eek:
is it some kind of dialysis machine? :dunno_black:
Blood analysis machine!
Blood IS the fluid in the tube most of the time yes! But this machine does no testing... all it does is something TO the tube so it can be tested...
Omg you guys are so close this has been super fun :D
Pinch/push/pierce/cleans/rolls/dries?
This machine does pinch tubing!! and does something else to it at the same time.
Ok there should be enough info now to put all this together, enter it into google and come up with the name of this device !
Autotransfusion machine.
Quote from: Hupjai on March 25, 2016, 03:10:27 PM
Autotransfusion machine.
I'm leaning towards that too. . .
No it's not that !
Remember, this thing has one function... to physically do something to a strip of tubing.
Does it pinch and seal it? Heat up the blud/fluid?
YES it does pinch and seal the tube! It's called a Hematron or simply a Tube Sealer. It makes segments in the tubing so testing can be done on a sample of the blood from the main bag.

Shoot I JUST got home from work! Plenty to play with there...
I'll look around! :icon_mrgreen:

OKAY! Just got to work and I thought the best way to start the day was a little fun..... and not work.

looks like a flywheel or a prop-shaft connector. . .
Sorry, not flywheel or shaft thingy. Has to do wit motion though! :woohoo:
@ Janx... omg no LOL but I DO like my steaks and burgers rare ;)
@Hupjai... ok let's see, is it an automotive/airplane/train/boat part ?
It is not from any of those vehicles but those vehicles all have a form of this component. :technical:
Reminds me of a clutch mechanism on a mower. . .
Not a clutch. I fear I'll kill this game. :bowdown:
My bad, not found on boats. :nono:
Naw you won't kill it... if it goes too long and everybody gives up then I think you get to go again and pick another item? I can't remember but I think that's how it goes. :thumb:
Now ah.. hmm... does it spin? Or is any of it mobile/movable?
Oh, sweet.
The top portion will spin.
Is it a fan blade holder?
It is not but good guess. The black "fins" spin.
I'm guessing it is a pump for water/coolant
Hydrolic but not those fuilds.
Maybe a turn signal fluid pump?
No idea what that is.... :technical:
lol blinker fluid :icon_lol:
Does it pump oil?
Is not a pump.
Inside a transmission?
Not a transmission. The component is free to be seen without disassembly.
Viscous fan ?
Not a fan.
PTO impeller housing?
Is not Paid Time Off Impeller housing.
there's an impeller for that? LOL!
Wheel hub ?
Not a hub.
Can we see the other side
Yeah! On Monday! It's the same, just the flat side with mounting holes.
I don't know, a radiator? A spinning radiator? Wth is this thing??
It's the thing that generates the spark in a small engine. I want to say stator but I think I have the wrong name? It spins a magnet past a coil to make a pulse / voltage ?
If that's not it I give up.
The spinning fins are heat sinks.
This is not an electrical component. It's hydraulic.
EDIT: Could be pneumatic, I'll check Monday. .... but I have a feeling it's pneumatic.
PNEUMATIC! :woohoo:
Is it a spinning pneumatic heat sink? 8)
Hahaha It's pneumatic component with a heat sink. The heat sink portion spins.
So you're almost there. Would be kinda cool if there was a rotary heat sink. haha
Part of a compressor. Vauge but that's all I got
Not part of a compressor!
Fly wheel?
Vacuum impeller?
Good guesses.
Doesn't store energy. Doesn't function to move air/fluids.
Condenser of sorts ?
OH! Good guess. Not close but I like the way you're approaching it! :laugh:
torque converter? :dunno_black:
You are just saying things.
Saying things is all we have left. I vote you spill the beans on this one and throw up another item. It's obviously a falanghi from a wombolebone. But no one actually knows what that is.

Pneumatic tension control brake and/or clutch
https://www.cbtcompany.com/CatSearch/1770/Pneumatic-Tension-Control-Brakes
Still trying?!?!? :D
I thought that "pneumatic brake" would be sufficient.
We can keep going...... no, not for tension.
Hey man, not to be a bad sport or anything... But what kind of answer are you expecting? Is there a brand name for this thing or do you want us to figure out what machine this gets attached to. Maybe what products the machine makes or perhaps what type of component the brake is attached to?
It's just... If this is a pneumatic brake and that has been said... Is this one solved?
Sorry, just hoping for clarification :)
Put your air brakes on bro O0 especially when you fly. Riddle me this. :icon_question:
Don't make me come over there >:(
Rick Flare for POTUS :thumb:
Thanks for asking for clarification!
I was only looking for "brake" so I think pliskin is up!
It's a pneumatic shafts brake. It belonged to a 30 year old industrial paper laminator that I'm working on modernizing at my internship. I'll update this post with a photo when I get a chance for those that would be interested!

Shed skin from a reptile. Snake, perhaps?
Some sort of dried algae?
;D
Sent from my toilet seat using HTC FartPhone
Not a skin/reptilian or algae.
Is it some sort of preserved carcass? Is it biological at all or is it inorganic?
It is biological but not preserved.
a tentacle off like a man o war or something? definitely looks nautical.. but i really have no clue.
Is it food ? (Sorry, I'm hungry and it's reminding me of freeze-dried bananas like in trail mix LOL)
Not a tentacle or dried food but it Greenweenie is on the right track. It is "nautical" in nature.

edit: if anyone can show me how to get that link to display inline, I'd love to know.
some part of a lock?
Pressure release/safety valve?
Negative to both of those. Good guesses, though. :cheers:
Poppet valve. Pneumatic. Like for a paintball gun? Mounts in a tube, screw sets it in place.
Or possibly a pressure regulator.

Eeeeew... ear doo doo.
Thanks for hosting Watcher. What's up with the image posting on this site anyway? It's been broken forever!
Nope, not a valve or any sort of pneumatic (or hydraulic) anything.
@Hupjai: That's just lint from the environment, this particular earplug has never been used. The silicone material just grabs everything. :flipoff:
Is there a bearing in it?
Now now, those aren't the kind of questions you can ask.... lol
That being said, you're SO close.
There's not a bearing IN it, per se...
Hard drive actuator arm bearing/piviot axis
If I'm right I'll pass to whoever calls next.
*Ding Ding Ding* Spot on!
Methinks you've seen one of those before... :up:
Ok, someone take it away...
Damn, it's so obvious now...
That's the trouble with these things, once you hear what they are, it's usually a 'duh' moment.
I think you can take it if you want, pliskin said to pass it on to whoever has something to post.
You were awfully close when you asked about the bearing.

Man, I miss slot cars. We had fun modding them to go faster, have better traction, etc...
I remember my dad telling me how they had slot car drag racing back in the 50's and 60's.
He said the cars would sometimes catch on fire from the motors being run so hard they overheated in the 1-2 secs of run time. Sounds awesome. lol

Oh man, that looks so familiar....
Some sort of bore cleaning jag?
It's a spinning top. Put a string in the indent around the waist and pull.
It would be interesting to see what happens when you try to spin a mesh top. :)
Keep guessing guys...
Some type of coffee frother bit?
Reckon it's something to do with cleaning or sharpening blades of some kind?
No correct answers yet.
Does it spin at all?
My best guess would have been a bore brush of some kind, but it's already been guessed.
Brass end seems like a threaded mandrel...
Hmm, wouldn't be a mantle for a lantern, would it?
It doesn't spin.
It's not a brush.
I'll throw you guys a bone:
It's a medical device and this example is 6mm in diameter.

Its used to clean arteries or expand them for surgeries, right?
Close enough... It is used in the arteries, but not to clean or open them.
It is a vascular plug and is used for the opposite and to close larger arteries.
The sizes range from 4mm to >16mm.

A good one to get into with training, safety, and good sense. It can have a great many benefits. :thumb:
Sorry, misspoke...not trigger bar, hammer strut, right?
Sometimes I get my part names mixed up. :icon_rolleyes:
Never seen one with a beveled end like that, kinda threw me.
I'm used to them being either rounded or squared.

@Watcher: Pun intended? :icon_lol:
@Krsa: That looks like some sort of piezo clicker igniter. Am I on the right track?
Mosquito/insect/itchy bite 'clicker' ... makes tiny voltage to numb the nerves... a kind of piezo I think...
I just wanted to expand on and zero in on the items purpose
Do those exist? That's a pretty great idea if it works!
Yeah they exist, go to your nearest camping/hiking boutique store. . They usually have them... or sometimes in those home shopping catalogs
Huh, pretty cool.
So, Krsa, is Janx right? Is that what it is?

Finger pricker?
You're close... But not quite there.
It is used by people who would need a finger pricker though.
the flange is throwing me off, or else I'd say its an insulin holder or something. . .
It's not a holder, but it does have something to do with insulin. You're starting to get the "point"... ;)

Based solely on the hints:
A thing that punches a hole in the top of insulin bottles.
Breaks or bends the hypodermic tips so they 'safer' ?
You're close Janx
I'll give you guys the brand name, this may aid your google search.
NOVO NORDISK
Recognise the name, they make a lot of stuff though! ...
the lanyard puzzles me a bit, first I thought the device was depress red button, but now I think use lanyard to pull back red button for a strike hit..
My Ex years ago was diabetic, just trying to remember all the gear?
Come on people! We're almost there!!!
I'll help you lot out of your misery...
It's a tool to remove the needles from the insulin pen.
Older people and advanced diabetics have less sensation and strength in their fingers, making it sometimes difficult to safely remove the needles.
I'd have never guessed that. LOL!
Janx was the closest, so I'll pass the torch on to him....
Got an item, need to get home and upload phone pics to p/bucket..
Y'all have the luxury of 3 pics to see later!

Bastard bloody mongrel fiddly touchscreen!!! This just took me 10 mins!!
Ok people... Have at it!
I see 2 terminals (most probably a + & -), a needle gauge and a (turn)handle.
I'm going to guess that this a type of hand generator/dynamo.
I can't say what it is used for exactly.
Errrr ... Yeah that's what I thought initially.... It is that kinda ... But it's also not that!
I'm still trying to understand how/why it works ... An old guy told me what it was
I had a quick look through my electrical engineering books from yonks ago.
I'm going to have another go...
It could be an old insulation resistance tester, I do miss a third connection for the guard terminal though.
(Maybe the older types didn't have these?)
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
Yes it didn't have a third terminal ..you are correct!!
I thought Dynamo then hoped it was a dynamite exploder thingy...can't think of the name..
Any how's... Off you go! ... Get your mystery pics on!
Dynamite detonator was going to be my guess too before I dusted off my books...
I happen to be at work at the mo...
I'll see if I can find something cool!

ooooo good goin' Janx! woooot a new pic :D
I have no idea what that is... maybe another pic of it from a different angle? plz?
I'll try for another pic, the thing is at mates house... it won't help too much though....the flat bar is just that .. the round rod is C shaped with the opening facing upwards in this pic..
I'll ask him for a perspective pic tho, this arvo, he is an hour away so I can't just drop in on my way past
Maybe a squeegee bracket? Though I'd expect if it was in someone's car, there would be a rubber squeegee blade installed in it. But at least that would make a bit of sense...at least in my mind.
I'm thinking... damn I bet my pap would know... maybe even my dad. He opened his garage in 1972 and to this day I've never seen anything like this down at his shop.
jdoorn yeah I kinda thought that too...!! Need a size reference in the pic cuz I thought it would hafta be a HUGE squeegee blade LOL... but yeah I mean it was in the truck so... :dunno_black:
I thought it was c-shaped... just wanted to be sure! But what is on the top? Looks like it would maybe attach to something else... man this is probably something that when we find out, it'll be like OMG DUHHHHHH or WHAT A GREAT IDEA lmao :laugh:
Its way too industrial for a squeegee. ..
I'll see if he can take an end pic of the attach looking bit also
Let's get this goin' again!
So what was it Janx? Or do you have more pics or clues for us? Pretty pleaseeee lol
Never did identify that thingummy!
I don't have any pics ready right now... Anyone got something? .. If not ill keep an eye out over next couple days. :thumb:
I'm a Professional Truck Driver.. Get me out of the "circus" i work at!

Precisely! Honestly, they don't work all that well. I got them in a white elephant gift exchange several years ago, and have used them maybe twice. I love a good taco salad, but I want one of those delicious fried tortilla bowls they use at the mexican restaurants...

PROTIP: Spray both sides of the tortilla all over with cooking spray before baking it. It gets closer to the fried texture at the restaurants. Though, truly nothing beats a deep fryer lol.

I don't think there were any specific rules regarding "cheating". Usually it's pretty hard to do.

Same. It looks like something for dust collection, though. Like you'd see attached to a saw to collect the sawdust...but the opening is to attach some sort of hose...for compressed air? Sorry, that's all I've got.
It DEFINITELY looks like it came off of a Ford tractor, though.
Looks to me like a remedial or home made airbrush.
Or something used to purge an air compressor, but why it would be bagged makes no sense to me.

It uses air. Not off Ford tractor but that's really funny :)
"sock on top"

Hint is that you use silica with it.

It uses air and silica to clean something on your bike that is essential to the fuel, spark, air combo. :icon_question:
I don't see any usefulness in something like that. I mean, new plugs are like $5/ea (except maybe iridium), but you could always use a small wire-brush to clean the contacts.
I say SodaCityMoto got it. He said sand-blaster. That's essentially what it is.
Sounds good to me,...SodaCityMoto you're up

I've also seen similar tools used to set broken noses.
Chopsticks, but they're steel.
Crap! I wasn't expecting to get it. I'm going to pass to whoever wants a go at it because I'm going to be offline for a day or so. No reason to hold up the fun.

It's shaped like it'd be a spanner, but with no "handle" for any leverage to turn it...
As of right now I'm drawing a blank, but maybe I can come up with something if someone doesn't beat me to it.

I'll call this a winner.
It's a kinetic "entry tool". Spring in the middle, hold one end against the thing you want to strike, draw the other end back.
The long end can be used to drive out door hinge pins or the pointed end as a glass breaker.
woo hooo winning,..now if someone would just win the picture game and get it moving again :icon_razz:

I agree.
The green looks somewhat reminiscent of magnetic viewing film, but the shape/curliness does not.
Since I can't just repeat Bluesmudge's answer, I'll expand upon it. They're natural/skin chamois.
Sorry,....,... annnnd nope,.... :hithead:

OK ... just so it's not TOO quick, I kinda hope you can be a little more specific? there's a name for this particular tool.
mr72 i can't see it,...? can you repost pic?
The picture is on google photos. As you know, this forum has no way to directly attach a photo.
I had to Google it, since I've never really known what it's really called. Lansky lists it as a "multi-angle knife clamp".
Fingers crossed.......
You win! But I find lansky's description odd. I would call it a rod guide clamp.
I should have found something harder.
It was harder than it seemed. I wasn't positive at all that my initial answer was correct. I did have to do some Google-Fu.
Guess it's my turn again....hmmmm. How about this?

First thing I found here at work. Looks like it is living up to the thread title. :icon_lol:
Guess I should add a hint. It's used in a PC.
I was thinking the plate on the rear of a pc?
Hard Drive tray?
Now that I think of it, I should probably have put something next to it for scale. :hithead:
The dimensions are 4.75" X 4" x .5". It is used to adapt a smaller item to fit where it's larger (and most times slower) counterpart is installed.

To be specific, it is a SSD adapter.
You answered right as I was posting more detail.
Cool! My second timing winning one of these in like 10 years.

Guessing its a tool for locking a clutch basket or a splined shaft/hub or a timing pulley
Looks like the toothed insert is removable so maybe it comes as a kit that will fit several different spline profiles or diameters?
Quote from: sledge on November 28, 2021, 10:00:02 AM

You got it!
Specifically it's for holding the clutch basket on a Suzuki GS1000 but like you said the spline part can be swapped out for other tooth profiles. Good work.

I keep coming in and out of this forum these days. Too bad, I recognized this basically instantly.
I'm glad to see this game is getting some participation, it was quite interesting back in the day.
Just waiting on sledge now.
Thought maybe I'd pick up the torch here.
Any takers?
