Those are capacitors the circular thing is actualy a slot where you would fit a valve or tube which is a fancy name for a light bulb that acts as a resister..... I have a 1939 radio thats how i know

They look like those little party poppers that you get on New Year's Eve, where you pull a string on the bottom and confetti shoots out of the top.

These appear to be wire wound resistors or chokes. I'm wagering it's from the hospitals 'tinker' or parts bin. It's clearly been fully snipped from whatever it once controlled. Whomever last did the soldering on it wasn't very skilled either.

wow scaryyyyyy

Wow, this reminds me of when I got about ten of the biggest capacitors I could find, then wired 'em all up backwards to my power supply. I put the red wire in the black socket and the black wire in the red socket. The result was they all blew up one by one like a little machine gun! It sure scared my cat.

You find some of the coolest stuff in the basements, Motts. I wouldn't have the stones to go down there so I'm grateful for your fascinating photography.
