Another "What is this thing?" thread.....
 

Just arrived in today's mail from a friend in Maryland. I'll ask him tomorrow what it is intended for, but in the meantime...your guesses?

Maybe something for electronic testing?

A process of elimination. It's not a Honda VRF part.

Some sort of jumper doodad?

Paraphernalia associated with an old Morse Code set.

Good thinking Peter.

Yes, it has that "tap tap taptaptap tap tap" look about it.

Peter might be on to something .... it's a good cover story when yer doorbell rings later too :D

I’ve alerted the Feds.

We're friends and he's downsizing and will send something if he thinks I can use it.

Shoot it over to speeder.

Mebbe you can trade it for a doorbell ... fate :D

So, same concept as what I use for trickle charging my motorcycles?
