Early prototype of the flux capacitor?

Morse code signal light?

masraum 12-06-2019 08:02 AM

some sort of spotlight or signal light. The reflector looks like a mirror, possibly parabolic, so that would imply optical. It's kind of hard to see much detail for the mechanism in the photo.

Some sort of LIDAR device for a targeting system?

^ good possibility L S.

M-60 tanks had something very similar looking mounted on the main gun.

Cheers Richard

Well, I figured it's either that or a military grade laser leveller/stud finder.

Don’t look at it when it’s on.

We have a Wiener! You get nothing except, of course, the unbounded admiration and respect of your peers.

Spotlight from a tank.

Hmm, I thought it was the dualdoppler hyperdicinator assembly used on an Adams Class Destroyer.

Too big for a tank, plus lack of any anti-vibration mounting system.
Gotta be permanent mount.

Too complicated for a simple light especially with that extra dish in the way.
Gotta be a radar or ranging system.
Not a telescope.

The simple tube on the side might be a heat-vent. Meaning there's a lot of power inside.
Another indication for a permanent location.

Were those the lights used to start the fire at the Branch Dividian Compound in Waco, TX?

Old school colonoscopy light. "I'ma lichoazz up boy"

Baz 12-06-2019 03:22 PM

Looks like some kind of combo convection oven and grill!

RWebb 12-06-2019 03:37 PM

it will make a killer light for your new garage...

It doubles as a convection oven and heater.

john70t 12-06-2019 04:35 PM

guess I was wrong jd. thx
One good hop in that M-60 and the whole thing probably falls off.

Didn’t read the replies but I’m guessing a flood light on a military tank, etc.
