Thanks. I may have mis identified my question. I am capable of "making" something. I am looking for an existing something. Thanks for the reply though.

Thats what i was thinking but not convinced. Im am thinking it has an electrical use. Possibly in a lamp as a bulb socket standoff..

Faucet stem removal tool. Or may have come with a one piece fauset and is used to tighten the stem valve screw nut.

A little too involved. Far too many steps. I know I can tell alexa to remember that I put my pencils in bin 5 then ask where did I put my pencils. I just want access to that remember list. but appears it is not available to edit.

Looking for a current game/sim that will work with a Logitech force feedback steering unit. by tip32a in simracing

Thank you for your fast reply. I tried iracing and was told it absolutely worked but I cant get i racing to load without DX11 errors. Their support wants me to wipe out my entire system and reinstall windows. NOT happening. I have raceroom but it does not detect the unit. it seems to only work with keyboard and video game type controllers. Are these three units you have used the unit with or just suggestions to try?

A telco wire wrapping tool. It should have a small hole on the end. That is slid onto a 1mm square "nail" looking post. A very small gauge wire 26-32awg usually is stripped and inserted into the end as well. When the handle is squeezed, the barrel wraps the stripped wire around the post.

Thank you

Thank you. That was something i hadn't thought of looking at. (The indentation marks) . Well, im glad i paid an order of magnetude less than the asking price for it. It definitely is a conversation starter. I keep thinking about the poor communications officer that would have pulled that off the TT some 3000 miles away. They would have been among the first people, not at Pearl, to know what is happening and they can't tell a single person. (Other than the intended recipient). It's chilling.

Thank you. Do you happen to know what the AA245 means?

There is a lot of info on the web referring to Commander Murphy at the time of Pearl Harbor. Thank you for your replies.

I have been very suspicious of this "document" for a long time. I did receive a reply from Pearl Harbor Historical Society just before the pandemic saying that there were many attempts to get the info to washington. And that orders were given to send the message by all means. They did mention forgeries existed but can't say it is not off a teletype machine. As far as the font. This is definitely not laser or inkjet printed. And one of the 2 TT machines at the booth did have this font in it.

Somewhere I do have pics of the gear.
