What is this? updated w/photos

[butchlambert]

I was in a shop several years ago and for some reason took this photo.
I did not open the box, but what is it.

I think I saw one once at a distance, but stayed clear of it just in case.

Could be a Twonky, but definitely not an Interociter...............

Curiosity would have got the best of me, would have had to open it! ...

whatchmacallit only seen one other in my 73 years.

For sure this is a Guffy invention.

Interociter

The source of interociters was destroyed by enemy fire many years ago.

Whatever it is, it serves a function and someone will buy it...how much?

Did Exeter make it though all that?

 

[jelenko]

No, sadly. He burned up with his ship in earth's atmosphere. [Had to look that up in Wikipedia

So if Butch will indulge us a little more.....

So I watched the whole thing. I had only seen bits and pieces before. Exeter made it to the last frame of the picture.

Just to be complete, here is the Twonky:

My uncle used to hang out with his Navy buddies at a gas station/grocery outside of Jacksonville that served beer. For a conversation starter one of the glued a 50cent piece to the floor. I imagine that box was there for the same purpose.

Overseas multi-Customs approved Shipping container for this:

However, check with U.S agencies to find the latest directives as the Lead and Depleted Uranium lining that is used to protect older gentlemen's reproductive organs who are in the shipping and handling industry from the electromagnetic emanations caused by Chernenkov Radiation can also set fire to houses built around 1970 that used OSB as sub-flooring.

I don't remember OSB being used as sub-flooring in the 1970s. I remember it being mostly particleboard. And it's the younger gentlemen that need electromagnetic emanation protection......old guys don't really care about such protection.

Still, I suppose one can't be too careful, and the Interociter is the best way to go. It has built-in gonad protection already........

Several years ago a shooting friend passed away. We went to his very large 2 story shop and looked at his goodies. Treasures that you wouldn't believe and yes I have photos. Most of what I am posting on this is years older than most of you. Johnny was the engineer for the short lived Porsche F1 team with the Rodriquez brothers as the drivers. A long time ago he had a Porsche dealership in Houston or Houston area. Some of you may be aware of Porsche's 4cyl twin cam that they had in the Carrera in the early 60s I believe. Johnny had a couple complete engines and a load of parts for them. Johnny like street rods and had a running Ardun Ford engine bolted to a Cadillac 3 speed and quick Halibrand differential. Engine had Hilburn injection and a Vertex magneto. He also had a spare set of heads.
Johnny's machine shop had 2-10EE Monarch, a mod 60 Monarch, 2 Bridgeports, and a weird grinder that I was told to cam grind pistons. He had just a tremendous amount of tooling.
I don't know what happened to any of it as she would never mention a price.
Oh the box with the writing on it was with the tooling. Did I forget to post the photo in the first post?
Damn, I'll try to post photos manana
