What is it? Set 403

2332 looks sort of like a paper money pusher (into a slot in a safe).

I think this is probably correct, someone had brought this to a tool collector's meeting and a couple people had guessed it was a money pusher but I haven't been able to prove it. Casinos use a money paddle but they're not made of metal, you might be right about this one being used for a safe.

2334 is a 'jumping jack' tamper.

2330 - the inside of one of those outdoor DVD rental kiosks

2334- gas powered tamper

2329 ?? 2330 HP Optical Storage jukebox? 2331 Air pressure controller? 2332 ?? 2333 Parts of bells? 2334 ??

2329 - Looks like a boring machine used to make the holes for wood headstocks for livestock. The left one roughs out the hole and the right one cleans out the corners so the vertical board will swing freely. 2330 - DVD rental machine carousel

2331 -

2332 - Looks to be the right size to push money through a slot in a safe or tellers counter.

2333 - The top one looks like a spool guide for a hand sewing awl.

2334 - gas powered tamping hammer. Basically a single cylinder engine with a sliding piston instead of a crankshaft.

Tamper is correct, foot crusher would be another good name for it.

Correct

Nope

It isn't a controller, this device is missing a magnifying lens that would fit over the large square hole.

Nope

Just a guess:

2331 This may be an electric eye. Perhaps it is a part of an alarm or door opener. The cylinder contains a lamp and the square hole contains the light sensitive receiver (or vice versa). The missing lens would either focus or collimate the light. When used, the light from the lamp would reflect off of a mirror (e.g., on the other side of a doorway) and shine on the receiver. When the beam was broken, the electric eye would trigger (sound an alarm, open a door, etc.).

Then it must be a Scan-O-Matic Coin Viewer .

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.

An intersting set this time around.

2329) Hmm ... two seemingly unrelated tools, other than that they both clamp onto the edge of a board of a wide range of thicknesses.

The one to the left is for drilling a hole parallel the sides but at some setable angle to the vertical into the wood. Perhaps for the sockets for uprights on a stair rail so the uprights are truly upright.

The one to the right looks as though it can be used to move the one to the left a fixed distance, such as to space the holes for the uprights.

But -- it also may be driving two chisels to make a mortise for a lock set in a door -- and the first would do the drilling to make start on this.

The grey painted metal behind appears to be part of the support of the table and not really a joining part of the other two, so I will discount it.

2330) Part of a "library" for something. Calculating the height of the individual sections based on the overall height, this may be for selecting CDs or DVDs under computer control. Or it may be for some kind of slide projector.

More detail of the items sliding into the radial slots would help.

By "library" I mean like a tape library for backing up computer systems, where the computer can ask for a specific tape to be put into the drive, prior to making the backup or restoring from it.

These don't look like tapes, and a bit too rigid for the 5-1/4" floppies of earlier days.

2331) Maybe an ultrasonic cleaner? (Though I would expect a stainless steel tank for that.

2332) Two possibilities come to mind.

1) A wedge to drive into the handle of an axe (probably a double-bitted axe) to keep the head from working loose and flying to endanger someone nearby. 2) A hull model intended to mount flush to a surface for studying water flow around it.

2333) Can openers?

Grippers for Mason Jar lids?

2334) A gasoline powered fencepost driver?

It almost looks like a gasoline powered pogo stick which I once saw, except that I don't see foot rests, just a hand grip, and a socket for a single side lever. (Or is that an exhaust port?)

It also could be a dirt tamper, again gasoline powered.

I guess that to start it, you switch on the ignition, lift it and drop it, after which it runs until you hti the lever sticking out from the gray-painted guard.

Now to send this and see what others have suggested.

Enjoy, DoN.

In that case -- a slide viewer (for 35mm or perhaps 2-1/4" square slides).

Enjoy, DoN.

How about from before plastic replaced metal in almost everything?

2329: a mortise lock install set; clamp to a door edge, remove wood by boring with the auger, then clean up the cavity with the swinging knife

2330: some kind of jukebox mechanism, possibly for CDs or DVDs?

2331: no idea

2332: an insertion aid, for stuffing paper money into a cash box.

2333: some kind of jar openers?

2334: a one-cylinder engine, possibly intended for seismology; it thumps the ground to cast sound onto the subterranean bits so geologists can say "ooh"

2334 is a petrol or diesel powered tamper. once they are started bouncing by hand, they take in a charge of fuel and air on the lifting stroke and compress it on the down stroke. At bottom it is ignited and lifts itself back up to take another stroke. If you operate one of these all day you will be exhausted at the end of it.

This is correct, it's for quickly inspecting a large number of coins.

You're right about them being used with jar lids but they aren't grippers or openers.
