AlamoVampire Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) The name of the game is “What is it?” The rules: 1. Player 1 posts an image of an item with 0 information given as a hint. Below the image they then ask: What is it? 2. No reverse image searches, please keep guesses fair. 3. Anyone who knows what the item is may confirm the answer upon a correct guess. After that the person who guesses correctly starts us over with a new item image. 4. All forum rules apply as well. 5. If after more than a full 24 hours the object in question has not been named, the OP of said object may reveal the answer. Lets start! What is it? 075802053023 Edited to add rule 5. 050502072023 Edited February 7, 2023 by AlamoVampire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow71 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 That would be a video cassette tape rewinder. No confirmation needed; I still have one of these in a box in my basement. What is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoVampire Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 @Scarecrow71 gonna take a second guess. I feel kinda derpy for not seeing the shape, but it does precede my age by a bit but i did hold a few of what it emulates. Guess: cassette to 8-track adapter 092402052023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoVampire Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 @Deddly @Gargamel im not sure how to feel here, but wow I feel old. Deddly is incorrect in “home video” and Gargamel is incorrect in that it is for negatives. It does project, it does use 35mm. I really want to give a hint but I cant. All I can do is the partial confirmations of: Projector, Film and 35mm. Keep guessing guys! 041502072023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Well, it’s a 35mm roll projector. Negative or positive doesn’t matter. It’ll still project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoVampire Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Its a very specific kind of projector. Im kinda proud to have stumped you guys. The answer: Film Strip Projector. These things were legit one of the best thing we could see as students in the 80’s get rolled into class second only to the tv cart because then you KNEW it was time for Reading Rainbow! Ok, since I stumped yall, lets go again! What is it? 050802072023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHACK4142 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Some sort of compact wrench? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Well, my answer was right. It projected 35mm film rolls. That’s a key to wind up a mechanical device, such as a clock or a toy. There are many different variations of those depending on the exact mechanism. Without seeing a serial number or the device it’s paired with, it’s very difficult to specify exactly what it’s supposed to wind up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoVampire Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 I honestly do not know if it qualifies as a wrench as I have not used it myself. @Gargamel is so far the closest with it in fact being a key, but it is not for a wind up type thing. I guess the item it pairs with a toy of sorts. 054302072023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoVampire Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 @kerbiloidwow that one looks like its from the 60s or 70s? I chose the one for the thread as its the exact model i recall seeing in elementary in the late 80s to early 90s. as to the new object: not a bike or clock key, but bike is technically closer. 065602072023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
