What is it?

[yellowperil]

And how does it "pay it's way" in the Hot Rod Shop?

[Jeff Higgins]

Ultrasonic cleaner?

[yellowperil]

Nope

[RWebb]

pretty front makes me think it prepares food or drink for the shop worker...

[stevej37]

microwave oven

[yellowperil]

One of you is getting warm

[RWebb]

too short for a drink warmer/cooler/dispenser

I'll go with a horiz. toaster

[Tidybuoy]

coffee scoop on top, water container to the left...….hmmm

[yellowperil]

[RWebb]

maybe the scoop is for bauxite

[yellowperil]

Yeah, we considered giving up building hot rods in favour of "bauxite mining" but it didn't sound like something we'd be good at, so we gave that idea up.

Wrong getting colder!

[stevej37]

don't know...but it looks like it's got this symbol on the front panel

[yellowperil]

Really? I sure hope not !

It's a clock! I can see if right there in front, it tells you what time it is.

Sure it could do other stuff like maybe making ice cubes or something, but it is most definitely a clock.

Looks like an air fryer to me. Throw it in the trash just in case.

You are right! It is indeed a clock, which makes ice cubes as a side line. (it pays it's way by keeping the beer cold).

It makes 3 or 4 per hour and by the end of the day you get one bag of ice cubes, valued
at about $1.75. At first we thought we might give up hot rods in favour of ice cubing, but that idea was no good either.

So this thing gurgles all day long, and rolls cubes down a shoot, great entertainment!

I thought you might get the hints, Warm getting colder etc.

I going to bed. Thanks for looking.

That's probably it, it's a clock with an air fryer built in.

Pizza oven?

[cabmandone]

Another vote for air fryer. You use it in the shop for making pizza bites and parts cleaning.

Curses! This is why you should always read all the posts before you comment!
