Quite some time ago I got this stuff from my high school, I believe it came
from the physics department. I mentioned it on the list
and some expressed
interest in pictures. Just now got around to it.
See http://www.ezwind.net/jwest/whatsit
Should I pitch this stuff? Anyone know what it is?

Seems like that's some front-end for some other test equipment, or maybe
some electrical measurement equipment. In any case, the gauges have to be
worth something. The idea of using a plain 3 prong extension cord as a
power cord is kinda neat too.

Yup, same here. Love the old analog meters, though. Perfect for a
Frankenstein setup on Halloween! Caps are probably a little flat by now,
so if you want to use these, you may want to use a variac, to bring the
line voltage up slowly.
Cheers,

Not always easy to find.

I have a full spool of silk-wound coil wire. On a wooden spool.
