This is a steering column repair tool,

Right?




I have no idea what it is and would like to apologize in advance for the OTness of it all.

So uh, what is it?

 

Yeah! WHAT IS IT?

 

does the chain raise and lower it?

 

don't know anything but what's posted.

 

Don't know what it is, but it's sure a nice one.

a Homemaid Muffler bearing Holder..!

or a Muffler Holder so you can operate on it..!

 

looks like something an old time gynecologist might use.......

 

Me thinks the chain "unlatches" it, whatever the hell it is!

 

back scratcher?

 

A lamp base.

 

i was gonna say its a lamp.but this is tops.^^^^^lol

 

It looks like some form of lense holder one would use in a chemistry or physics lab. The chain pull to adjust height notice the spring tensioner, and the notches in the c-arms where a wire could lock in the lense or object.
the one thing that throws me off is the cam lock on the bottom of the shaft collar.

 

It's an adjustable Banana hanger, designed to keep your banana's at the optimum height as they are consumed to keep them from turning brown before their time.

 

Looks like a flux capacitor adjustment stand.

 

That there is a thing-a-ma-jig.......

 

When you are at a Mexican Restaurant, and want seconds, you raise the thingy up.

 

Snaffle buffer.

 

Conversation starter for sure.

 

My dad's a TV repairman, so I've seen lots of tools. That's a taint micrometer.

 

French tickler?

 

Adjustable base for a bogosity meter...

 

dammit beat me to it.

 

That's one of those "whatsits"

 

This guy has been to Pancho's!

 

well, i'll give 10 bucks plus shipping.

 

PROBATION! for you mister!

 

It's actually an old "hand made" music player. The chain raises the housing which contains a drum and tine type roller similar to the wind up ones in snow globes and jewelry boxes. As far as the cam lock...its what ever was laying around the makers shop if you will. The 2 bowed arches actually held a series of bells that accompanied the music.

 

After a much closer and detailed inspection- no f'ing idea

 

if it was a bullshit meter, it would probably have exploded by now!

 

All you guys are whacked, its a thingybobber for pulling hoomerhingies out, everybody knows that....
