I'm not sure what that is.
It’s a homemade soldering gun using an old doorbell transformer I believe.

Similar in concept to this:

I love the Merritt (almost as much as the Hutch) in the off-hours. It's the ramps I hate. It's a beautiful drive....as long as there aren't any other cars on it. :unsure:
Especially since they removed the tolls… I know, I’m dating myself.

Great - until someone in know pulls the knob out of the knurled shaft and re-inserts it so she/he can blast . . .

Looks like speaker system control box - not connected to nearby AC-power-box

There is a small knob on the cookie can. Wires go in and wires go out. What is it speeding up or slowing down?
