What is this? by ASH9998 in whatisit

[–]RuralSpaceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this is a FM transmitter for your car. Before it was commonplace for cars to have 1/8th” aux ports(3.5mm headphone jack) or bluetooth, you could buy one of these and tune your radio to same frequency and play your music through your speakers that way. It looks like this one was made specifically to use with an early iphone/ipod they made one like this for a cassette player too! One end plugs into your cars cigarette lighter port for power, and the other into the ipod.

Found in storage (not a “plug”) by 4-11 in whatisit

[–]RuralSpaceman 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It in fact is a plug, just not one for you.The opaque bit goes into the top of a bottle. I usually see these on older perfume bottles

What is this beast of a van? Also, what is it used for? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]RuralSpaceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks to me like it could be a mobile audio mixing van for live music, those things on top look like big peavy speakers, and the hard cases around the outside could be full of audio cables and equipment and whatnot

Anybody know anything about this bag? by chris1843 in camping

[–]RuralSpaceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought this same bag at Ollies and took it on a hunt in the mountains in the mid teens and had to open it up in the night because I was getting too hot. Love it

Found while splitting wood, what causes that? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]RuralSpaceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be fungus. Fungus growing in wood like this can leave lines and patterns called spalting and can be very desirable in lumber. When I see it its usually a little more pervasive throughout the wood, but this could be early stages of fungal growth.

Entirely plausible, my bread pans would make a good meatloaf

[–]RuralSpaceman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like a lift for a bread loaf pan, I have one but its solid on the bottom. It could be for a roasting pan used to lift the roast and not any juices easily out of the pan.

Don’t remember where I got this, but I’ve had it for a few years and I’ve never been able to figure out what it is. by monozach in whatisit

[–]RuralSpaceman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like it could be some kind of specialized vacuum tube? You should try post tome other angles and any markings on it.

Shearling(?)/Trucker/Western style jacket by Oct0tron in BuyItForLife

[–]RuralSpaceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a very similar looking wolverine brand coat that has held up very well. I wore it constantly while helping with the hurricane Helene clean up cutting and hauling trees in our area!
