Guess what this is a photo of!

[Buck]

You realize, of course, that you're driving me absolutely bonkers!

 

[Buck]

Does the disc have slits in it through which an image is viewed?

You realize, of course, that you're driving me absolutely bonkers!

I really didn’t think it would last this long! I thought for sure a wild guess would kill this. But, you must admit, I’m not as bad as YT and certainly don’t deserve the “Pear of Anguish”!

 

[keltin]

The disc has holes in it. Holes spaced in a particular pattern.

 

[Buck]

YT is the undisputed master.

 

[Buck]

Does the viewer see a recognizable image, or just some sort of pattern of lights?

 

[keltin]

It’s a recognizable image, although some say the quality was poor. But definitely recognizable.

 

[Buck]

An early form of television?

 

[keltin]

YES! It’s a TV. Good job!

It’s the “Baird Televisor”. It was the first TV receiver sold to the public in England. They began selling these in 1930. And believe it or not, the housing on these things is cast iron! To receive audio, you had to have a separate short wave radio that you also tuned into the station that was broadcasting the picture.


Here is an advertisement for it.

I'm so glad the casing is "artistically lined."

Pic up in a minit

Found this on Google under "mechanical television"

I'm so glad the casing is "artistically lined."

Yeah, that's definitely a selling factor for me!

 

[Buck]

Okay campers, your brains probably deserve a rest.

This one should be fairly straightforward.

What's this guy's name?

 

[Katie H]

Okay, ya'll. I got it in about 30 seconds. Just answered via intercom to Buck downstairs, so I hope one of us "girls" is a winner. I'm not going to post my reply because I won't have time to put a picture up.

 

[miniman]

A pangolin?

 

[Buck]

A pangolin?

Exactly right.

They're supposed to sound good when accompanied by fiddles and banjos.

You're up.

 

[miniman]

Ok, here goes. I will put this up and then it is off to bed, so replies will take a while.

What is this animal and what is unusual aboit it?

 

[jeninga75]

It has fangs! It's a Musk deer.

 

[miniman]

No - not a musk deer

 

[expatgirl]

Is this a picture of an adult animal? If it's not then I'm going to "guess" a mule deer, so-named because of its mule-like ears that constantly move. If it's an adult I have no idea as they have horns or antlers.

Truong Son Muntjac or Indian Muntjac? Has dog-like teeth.
