1532 is a Radio Frequency signal generator.
ReplyDelete1534 is a gas turbine rotor.
1535 is a typewriter stand that is missing the flat "top" that the typewriter sits on.
I agree with 1534 and 1535.
ReplyDeleteI think 1536 is probably a starter pistol that starts an electric timing system.
1532 -- am radio receiver
ReplyDelete1532 -- I don't think that it is a rf generator (it has a set of headphones attached, which would be useless for a generator), possible a wide band receiver. The frequency is indicated in hertz, not cycles, so it would be after 1960ish also looks military, so probably Vietnam era
I agree with the gas turbine rotor and typewriter stand.
1531.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the tiny circuitry for a "talking" toy, greeting card, etc.
1536.
Heavy brass construction and markings hint this may be an arming and firing control for a large naval gun (cannon), maybe Japanese.
1532 might be a hearing tester.
ReplyDelete1531 looks like a "bug" to me.
ReplyDelete1531: Hand-constructed device designed to be small. From who does that sort of thing and the visible components, I guess it's an amateur radio transmitter, or receiver.
