Here is a CLUE

This is a view of the other side. This should make it a lot easier

[cabinetman]

Crystal radio?

BZZZ - Wrong answer - I think radio was guessed, and who is Crystal?

[TheRic]

Variable speed controller

Sorry AAJIII, missed / forgot your guess.

[cabinetman]

An electroplating machine?

BZZZ - Wrong answer - Chrome again with another guess

[jziegler]

I have no idea what it is, but some of these guesses are certainly worthy of "Ask This Old House".

I'd probably guess model train controller/transformer, but since variable speed controller was wrong, and that wasn't a clue....

Controller for a stepping motor.

[TheRic]

Control unit for an Electric Chair

Control unit out of old Manuel operated elevator

If this is only 1.5 I would hate to see 10!!

Some really good guesses so far, problem is none are right.

Controller for a stepping motor.

BZZZ - Wrong answer - You mean like the Texas Two Step?

[WoodTherapist]

An electromagnetic induction overunity cold fusion free energy tesla machine? (Can you tell I am out of semi-intelligent guesses and the suspense is killing me here?)

[Russianwolf]

controller for an electromagnet?

[cgallery]

Electro shock therapy unit.

[Russianwolf]

Electro shock therapy unit.

The thought crossed my mind, and if it isn't we may need to find one when this is over.
