OK What the hell is this thing??

Started the wiring on the hearse and this was mounted up under the dash. Of all the wires hanging off this thing only one was hooked up. Couldn't really see what it was hooked up to though. Anyone know?
Thanks,

Holy shit BRO!

That's the first Gen Flux Capacitor!

I hear they're worth a fortune in the Phillipines!!!

 

Whatever you do, dont push the red button... Didnt you see MIB!

 

Most likely for the casket sled if it was motroized

 

You sure it's not an ambulance? That looks like the control for a siren and light. Or maybe it was a city owned hearse,like for a coroner or something.

 

Looks like some home made explosives detonator from a Hezbollah terrorist. Cut the green wire first man!

 

I think you should hook it back up,push the button and run like hell.

 

open it up! let's see what's inside....

(without knowing what it was connected to, we'll probably never be able to figure out just what it was used for)

 

It's a detonator! Whatever you do don't flip the switch.

 

Oh that, thats the Thorkle Rod analyzer and calibration box. Is it 6 or 12 volts? The 6 Volts design bring big money.

 

Oh yes..it is used in the mortuary business(dah!),it is called a "DEORGANIZER",it is used to s...!

 

Oh man, now you did it. That is the kaneuter valve exciter. Better rewire that thing before you try to turn the A/C, because if it isn't returned properly the c... wil.. ..c... b..... u.!

 

Carcass ejector switch. Got 3 of 'em.

 

Ahh the HAMB, where else can you get the smartest people from around the world to give you the answer your looking for. At first I thought this was just a piece of junk, but after reading what yall had to say, I better hold on to it for a few more years to see what the market brings.
Thanks guys,

I believe that to be a '61 or '62 Automatic Dingleberry Removal remote mount control, the company went ass up after they realized that using toilet paper while in a restroom was much more effecient at dingleberry removal than a mechanized contraption with cold steel fingers that mounted to your vehicle seats...it was somewhat a liability while on the interstate and having it malfunction due to abnormally large dingleberries putting undue stress on the extraction unit...

 

They are being sarcastic but like was said earlier without seeing inside it could be anything. To me it looks like a projectbox someoone put a couple of switches on and a light, something "homebuilt".

They were outlawed in Europe ages ago. You flick the switch to get the horse to speed up , simple as that.

 

Wait, isn't that Number Five's head? Still think it's for an ambulance, that car in your avatar looks like an ambulance too....Hmmmmmmmmmm......

 

Maybe its one of the first car alarms?Maybe a traffic light changer..cheaper than redoing the brakes?

 

Here is the guts of this thing, and no it's not an ambulance.
Mike

 

I know what this is...
This is an espresso machine.
No, no wait. It's a snow cone maker.
Is it a water heater?


Dave

 

Yep, its one of those things just like i thought it was!!

 

Any identifying marks or company names? Maybe a model number? That looks like a plastic casing, which would have been molded.... I give up.

 

It's exactly what it looks like.... A box with a button, toggle switch, and light mounted in it. Nothing more, nothing less. Probably rigged it for driving lights, work lights (pick up lotsa stiffs at night you know...), any number of things, maybe even an aoogah horn if you look hard enough.

 

ye olde trailer brake switch

Can I have it? -Strat.

 

If you want it.

Oh,Oh! Pushed one of the buttons. Run for cover!

 

DANGER! DANGER! hahaha...I think bob bleed needs that...
