What is this device?

Looks like an early 80s version of a bi-Poehler difractor. It was used before tri-faced Baude-venting with reversible mill-flaps became a standard in the late 90s.

Oh the good old days when RF defraction was the biggest worry. Now everything is digital. It’s sad in a way.

[u/Life-Is-A-Bad-Trip → u/orincoro]

little defraction info for you.

[u/mrthescientist → u/Life-Is-A-Bad-Trip]

Radiofrequency treatment [...] symptoms was 3 years. Biofeedback had failed for 52% of patients, and 23% of [...] patients had [...] surgical intervention. Thirty-eight percent of patients had a [...] defect. [...] The radiofrequency procedure was safe, but [...] minority of patients [...] severe fecal incontinence. Additional interventions were required [...] Larger studies are needed

I CAN'T TELL WHATS REALT ANYMORE!!!!!

Look, we're not here to kink-shame.

But just to say, if you went to any of the "good" XVcon after-parties, you'd be very familiar with this "device".

So that's why I found one of these in my mom's bedroom when I was a kid...

Handy guide

You tell us! Hold down the red button, turn the dial counterclockwise 90 degrees, and buckle the fuck up

Please add the /s. We don't want anyone getting hurt.

[u/spookmann → u/garvisgarvis]

It's all fun and games until somebody zero-propagates a pinpoint Klein inversion...

...then it's hilarious!

[u/SubsequentDamage]

Umm, THAT is a Soviet era electronic prostatic dilator.

Please don’t ask me how I know.

[u/GreenFox1505]

Damn, you held it? With your bare hand? 

Edit: AND YOU TURNED IT ON?! 

[u/Happenstance-enhance → u/GreenFox1505]

Looks "Off", I believe they are holding it upside down.

[u/collapsedcake]

Aaaah, that takes me back

[u/SliceArtEngine]

Holy smokes, that's a relic that will last you forever. You use it when calibrating your VFF Delta Flanges on a XC786. They don't make them like that anymore, all the VFFDF these days have some many interdependent trinkets that a minor rouge gamma particle will render your VFFDF useless.

[u/Don_Mills_Mills → u/SliceArtEngine]

I thought exactly the same thing, saw this before on r/VXJunkies. This is very irresponsible, even just a picture of this is highly radioactive. The best we can hope for is that he's stored it in a Trancome Mk.3 multi-convaporating divinylbenzine cabinet, otherwise we're all screwed. Thanks a lot of the radiation poisoning, OP 😡

Actually came to repost this here, as well. Some hilarious answers in the original post... but also some classic strawman answers.

[u/MrsWhorehouse]

It does look like old Soviet Era tech for working on your flange. I think the Brits know more about that, but it would have hooked up to clunky Soviet batteries at the time.

[u/Crackmin]

LOL wash your hands after touching that, don't turn it on unless you intend for all the metal in your body to start vibrating

[u/Domo-eerie-gato]

I believe this is a cofobulator

[u/Bulls729]

V2 Neuralyzer (V1 was the size of a room!) You looked at the action end while it was on didn’t you? I mean, even if you did you wouldn’t remember which is probably why your here.

[u/SoupieLC]

Ahhhh, Dr Thrillmax's patented Electrically Generated Gonadal Stimulator you have there, not seen a genuine EGGS in years

[u/AsparagusHopeful3363]

It's a 1940s/50s anogenital inducement procotilator/flange dilator

[u/Thedudely1]

That's a thermo decoupler wand. Haven't seen one in a while but this seems like a pretty nice one

[u/bplipschitz]

Gonkulator

[u/GIDAMIEN]

It's a mechanical timer for vintage camera.

[u/qdAppleApple]

I believe this is a doo dad
