Phillip Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Steven, Picture 2 is a close up of the lower left side of picture 1. I have no ideal what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenT Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 If you have access to it again, try picking it up and looking at side that is now the bottom. You may see a coin slot. ... you may be right, I may be crazy! But the set up in the picture is amazingly similar to what I have described.

Phillip Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I would like to see it again but the house is a 105 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Saunders Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 It looks a bit like some sort of zone or damper control to me. The enlarged picture shows what looks like a sealed flat brass tube like you would find in a barometer or thermostat. There appear to be galvanized metal flaps or louvers running horizontally.

It not any type of zone damper for ductwork that I have seen. I have installed many a damper in ductwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI in AR Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Phillip, quit teasing us. You know this sort of useless question is likely to cause some among us to engage in useless speculation for waaaaaay too long. Can you call the seller and ask what it is?

Richard Moore Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Oh hell! While we are still speculating; The metalwork reminds me of an old Coke machine I used to have at a previous business. It's obviously too small for that (and missing the thingies that keep it cold) so I'm guessing a cigarette dispenser, but it could be a Pachinko machine. Next time you see something like that, Phillip...pick the damn thing up and take a photo of the front! [] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I vote that Phillip pony up the 210 miles and driving time to get us an answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenT Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Coke machine??? as in coin acceptor? we may be onto something? Hey... is that a slug that fell out of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I have no idea what it is. I don,t have the sellers number. I wish I had taken more photo of it and had picked it up, it is from the house that I posted the report of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 This looks like a fixture of some sort that would be found in that house in the film "Blair Witch Project". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Saunders Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I think I realized what it is, the metal flaps had me fooled into a damper. I think it is the mechanism from a coin operated pool table. The flaps open and drop the balls out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
