[Matoch]

I've seen longer waits. At least you came back =)

James

[Epluim]

I nearly didn't! It was a bad day all around. 12 hours at a middle school... whew.

[BradT0517]

I nearly didn't! It was a bad day all around. 12 hours at a middle school... whew.
If that happened you would get to expect to find about 50 PMs waiting for you

[BearLeeAlive]

Ok, I have one for you all.

[BearLeeAlive]

Razor?

Man, I am getting to nice in my old age. :lol:

[StewartR]

Wow this is one of the quickest series of guesses and replies we have had in a whileIt's typical, isn't it. I woud have got the razor, the clamped wires and the Swiss arrmyknife - but they were all posted around 4-5am UK time! Now I'm here at 10am and I haven't a clue what the latest picture is...

I want a specific answer.

[memorex88]

broom

[Billbo911]

A brush. Might be a wire brush or a frizzy paint brush.

[memorex88]

specific like a "Kaiser blower brush flat"?

[Rehuel]

Push Broom

[frzndaqiri]

horse mane grooming brush

[Sir Tony]

A brush, but what is it connected to. Think seasonal.

[thekid24]

is it for dusting

[Broncosaurus]

A windshield ice scraper!??!

[Sir Tony]

A windshield ice scraper!??!

It's all yours!

[Broncosaurus]

This should be easy. Well, probably not. It is just something I happened to have sitting on my desk.
Enjoy:D

[thekid24]

a button a knob a vent

[Broncosaurus]

a button a knob a vent

No, no, & no.

[VGP]

Coaster?

[Broncosaurus]

A clue for U: The pic's of a small feature (<1cm) of a bigger thing.

[Pete]

Cotton reel?

[Sir Tony]

cassette reel

[Matoch]

A gear?

James

[Skrim17]

Here's my larger crop of the pipecleaner from before:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/skrim/pc2.jpg

[memorex88]

a drain plug

[Broncosaurus]

"18 Minutes Ago 06:20 PM
Matoch
A gear?

25 Minutes Ago 06:12 PM
Sir Tony cassette reel

1 Hour Ago 05:29 PM
Pete Cotton reel? "

None of these fine things.

Here's a wider crop.

[BradT0517]

well I deffinatly dont have one of those sitting on my desk

[DanteCaspian]

Does this happen to plunger down and rotate?

[BradT0517]

it looks like knife cuts or fingernail cuts or something on it plus it seems really greasy possibly ear wax

[DozerLYP]

some kind of lock

[Broncosaurus]

Well this was prolly not a good choice for this crowd. Maybe just guess what it is a part of.

[memorex88]

electronic experiment board

[DozerLYP]

is this from a mechanic shop, or some kind of tester thingy...

[memorex88]

tube tester?

[Matoch]

part of a multi meter maybe?

I kinda like the tube tester guess.

James

[StewartR]

It's obviously something to do with transistors, given the terminology. Part of a device (hey, this time we really can use that word!) to test transistors? Or maybe some sort of component that youi can insert into a circuit to emulate various types of transistor?

The think that's baffling me is how this part of the device is supposed to function. One the one hand it looks like it's supposed to rotate, albeit not without the aid of some sort of tool to insert into the prongs (so presumably not accidentally). But on the other hand there seems to be some sort of stop, against the "NPN" mark, that looks like it would prevent it rotating.

I am confused.

[memorex88]

add to the confusion, is that it's wet! :(

[3Turner]

an electronic device you use for work!!

[scraps]

Voltmeter for measureing the voltage drop from the base to emitter and collecter to emitter of either NPN or PNP transistors.

[Lester Wareham]

It's a transitor tester!

[Billbo911]

With that pin configuration, I believe it is an Op Amp tester.

[BradT0517]

Well it would be nice if somebody *cough* bronco *cough* would come back and check on it

[Broncosaurus]

Sorry, my 'puter died last night & I haven't been online til now. It is my multi meter so Matoch won this round. I don't have a pic of the whole meter as I'm not using my own system. I think my video card took a dump.

[BradT0517]

Well Im sorry that your computer died and most likely it is usually a motherboard or videocard

[Matoch]

Just for a change. I think this will be really hard.

(I don't really I just know people don't like it when you say it's easy.

Looks like there is fog in between the metal

[BearLeeAlive]

Cooling fins

[Renboy]

Yea I think it's called a heatsink.

[Matoch]

Cooling fins

It is a heatsink but I will accept Cooling fins.

Your Up!

James

[Renboy]

Thank goodness it's not me. I don't have any macro shot's, well water on cd. but you would guess that.

[BearLeeAlive]

I'm up now and will treat you all to the first macro with my new Canon 100mm in about a short bit, have to quickly run my duagther for some dental xrays.

[BearLeeAlive]

Busy day here so just grabbed a quick shot. This really should go quick.

[frzndaqiri]

it looks like it folds...
some sort of baffle, or extension (can't think of the word)

[BearLeeAlive]

Nope, not folding

[memorex88]

CD or DVD?

[frzndaqiri]

Hmm.. but those are creases right? It just doesn't actively fold then... fixed. With something sticking out on the side...

[Rehuel]

Is it made out of lead or aluminum?

[BearLeeAlive]

CD or DVD?
Nope, not even close

Those ridges are fixed. That something sticks out of out of the top.

No

[Mike Bell]

3-tiered razor? (Gillette Mach 3????) Don't know much about razors having had a beard so long! :(

Or a plane? Not the flying kind, silly! The wood-planing kind! :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

I think it would be helpful to know if that pic was taken with your brand spankin new 100mm Macro?? ;)

Not a razor Mike, did that last time I posted the other day. This is solid metal except for the piece going in to it.

Not a plane nor a train.
Not a tool of any fame. ;)

Cat, this is a crop of the first ever image shot through my new 100mm Macro.

[Skrim17]

looks like steps.

[Becky N]

Given that and POTN tradition, must be part of a duck.;) :p

[Skrim17]

a stack of weights

[BearLeeAlive]

Only for a wee fly then ;)

LOL, a metal duck then
a stack of weights
not stacked, is solid.

The tubular piece on the right moves in and out of the main part of the object.

[Rehuel]

Some sort of locking mechanism?
