Razimus Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6234185472 It's obviously not part of a time machine, and I think "time switch" is just an old term meaning "reset", but the device seems very similar to something Nicola Tesla built, if connected or linked to Tesla in any way the price would go way up. It says ac/dc on it, Tesla worked on a lot of ac/dc generators, transformers and the like, well just curious, it ended but I'm sure you could talk the owner in relisting it if you were interested, I would buy it but I'm a little short for the season.

OllyB Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 It would be better if the seller found a way to open it up so we could look at the components inside. some of the cruder, more old fashioned versions of telsa components would d make it more interesting. I find it hard to believe someone would etch a "time switch" on it and leave the other parts untitled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razimus Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 Well I emailed the guy and asked him if it said anything else on it, and if he could take a photo of the gears inside and he did, he has now relisted it here: http://cgi.ebay.com/OLD-ANTIQUE-MEDICAL-QUACK-BOX-WAPPLER-ELECTRIC_W0QQitemZ6236095287 He added 2 slightly better photos, and that it also reads "WAPPLER E MFG CO. N.Y." So it's probably a device made by the Wappler electric co., urology related. http://www.urologichistory.museum/museum/content/collections/uropeople/wappler/p1.cfm I'd have told him but he re-posted it so quickly.
