Yep Wendy got it, I could get picky and want the actual model, but an Arduino is close enough. That particular one is a first generation Arduino Uno.

This is what it looked like before I set GIMP loose on it.

Somebody else's turn..... :grin:

Panbiker, Wendy and Gloria are all on the money.

It's an incomplete paraffin heater which was used to provide warmth for young chicks.

I saw this on a second hand stall and money being "no object" lashed out 20p just to keep you lot guessing. What a miserable failure its been. You must all be walking about with little bags of money tide to your belts. Yes its a crimping gadget with a slight difference. The jaws hold a set of male and female dies that emboss a code letter on the strip. So gold nuggets all round.
Next object please.

In the spirit of 'whatever it takes', I hereby submit the following, hurriedly photographed after snatching it from the drawer at my side. Apologies that the urgency of the situation meant a less than crystal clear image.

I don't know how you've reached that conclusion. :confused:

Don't knobs usually have many grooves on the inside to grip the spline? This one only has six. I think it is a rubber roller (one of four? :grin: ) but don't know what it came off.
