    He did say that woodworkers should know what it is. Me, I'm totally clueless.

        ....but then my eyes may be nearly as old as this gizmo....
        Your right that is a meter!!

                        Good guess!!!! But I don't think the wires look that big of gage. Those old wires had lots thicker coating on them then they do now.

                            I guess none of us are woodworkers

                            could it be a dust collector?

                                    The components have been described as I see them, as well. But one thing is curious to me. Why two fuses, if that is what they are?

                                            No details on the date of it. This charger has a footprint of 13 1/2" x 17" and can be bench top or wall mounted. The large vacuum tube has a mogul light bulb base. Two wires entering one side are likely for 110 ac power and three wires enter another side. A ten position potentiometer, ammeter, momentary push button switch, rotary on/off switch, double fuse holder, and tube socket are mounted on the top.

                                                two fuses.....maybe two separate output circuits?

                                                At first I was gonna go with finger sockets for the "lie-detector"
