    I love the look of this.
    I found it at the dump yesterday and fell inlove with it.
    Would anyone know what it was used for ??
    I didn't bother cleaning it as I think it looks pretty cool like it is.
    Hope you like it n thanks for looking :)

      Thanks inky,that's what I Thought.

    4. Phatbuddha Phatbuddha, 11 years ago
      Steampunk is all I was looking at for the last half an hour,thats pretty cool stuff, its the First time I've heard of it before.
      And Thanks, it well could be.

      You are one lucky bugger, you find the coolest stuff!
      Love it as is!
      Appears to be a control panel for a generator/charging system.
      Two wires in from the dynamo/generator, 3 light circuits, 2 wires out to the batteries.
      Could be from an early wind generator?

      Do you have a warehouse for all this stuff?
    7. Phatbuddha Phatbuddha, 11 years ago
      Thanks for that walksoftly. The Information I'm getting from your guys is great news :)
    8. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 11 years ago
      Studying it more closely, I think walksoftly may have it or is looking in the right direction. Those 4 wires on the front between the thumb-screws are obviously early type fuses. Maybe some kind of shunt-wound generator.

      What does it say on the tag above the two holes between the two switches & on the the white object backside of of the panel.
      I think the holes are for a early bulb.
      Some of these panels had a bulb on them.

      Its a bit hard to read as some of it has worn away,what i can make out it said
      "Han amp" hope this helps

      I think it's HAND LAMP.
      Here is a link to an old bayonet style plug & right below that you will see a hand lamp.

      Thanks walksoftly you are good :)
      I get alot of old Electrical stuff at work and sure I could find one. But mite just leave it how it is. Thanks again for your help
    13. walksoftly walksoftly, 11 years ago
      You're most welcome Pb!
      I don't know about being good, but when I see something that intrigues me I can't stop till I figure it out, could be persistence or OCD. lol
      I wasn't implying that you needed to add to this or change it, I only mention the hand lamp to explain what the receptacle was for.
      Thanks for posting this one it's kept me entertained for hours. :-)
