    It's a thermobulator. It's used for repairing burned out light bulbs. Where's my Michelob Ultra?

    Does anyone remember a syndicated game show in the 70s called "Liar's Club"?

    Here's a description that I cribbed from someone else's website:
    "Contestants on this game show were shown an unusual looking object, then each of a panel of four celebrities gave an outlandish but plausible explanation as to its use. The contestant then had to wager all or part of their $100 on which panelist was telling the truth."

    It was pretty good.

    I was probably fourteen when I realized that my father would have been a whiz on "Liar's Club". Or, more accurately, that's when I began to understand that most of his explanations for things were "outlandish but plausible."

    My father could explain anything. He'd sound sincere, well informed, logical and confident. Most of the things he explained, however, were pure fantasy. And, now that I'm a father, I can look forward to doing the same for my son.

    Gittin' closer, 59BuickWagon !!

    Clue: The shaft on the left side in the pic (the one with the grease fitting), is spring-loaded so the shaft can slide inward (to the right in the pic).

    I'll wait for some more guesses and then tell you what it's used for.
