    Mike it’s great to read the comments it shows that a lot of people that watch this are very interested and intelligent. I’m learning quite a bit. For an old goat at 75 😊

    That is also called a reostat, Voltage can be lowered or raised as an output voltage by turning the knob on top.

    The variable transformer is a Variac - SELL IT! Guys who restore antique TVs and radios use them to slowly turn up the voltage to a tradio tube so it doesn't blow.

    Hey Mike, thanks for entertaining us. Those Aluminum cast gears are part of power window motor. Normally the inside gears are made out of plastic and brake with time and that's when u have to buy those parts.

  • @keithmishler4095
    @keithmishler4095 Рік тому +1

    Mike im not 100 % sure but I believe the little cast aluminum gear assembly is a power window actuator

  • @1OFGODSOWN

    The item at 31:33 of the video is called a Variac. It is a popular item with anyone who collects old radio gear such as some Ham Radio Operators because it allows them to adjust the amount of voltage going to the piece of gear and they can regulate the current slowly from a little bit up to full voltage.I have one that looks just like the one you had in the video but without the meter on the side.They are a great item to have.

    31:10 That thing is worth at lot more whole, if it works, than it is as scrap. Put a cord on it and see if it works. 110-120V go in and the dial adjusts the output voltage at the plug on the front. Specialized piece of equiptment.. aka..Variac (variable a/c).

    Hi Mike, you always seem to find an abundance of Cat 5 and low voltage accessories. You should try to find a small telecom, A/V, Fire/Security contractor(s). They'd likely be interested in those items. Used to do a lot of patient monitoring systems in hospitals years ago and we used a the low voltage stuff and equipment racks and such. Don't want to name the large Corp we worked for but their directive was to toss everything not used at the end of a project. Couldn't do it, so wasteful. We'd toss stuff branded with their logo and sell everything else. Typically got 20-60 cents on the dollar and small contractors were thrilled to cut their material costs. Love the channel. Be well
