What is it? Set 409

2366: Soldering iron for making some type of specific butt or lap joint.

2368: Some type of crimping tool...possibly for shell casings and bullets.

2370: Something for carrying hot parts? Dave

I concur.

A 'Zenith Space Command'

I do too.

2367 - Foundry cart wheel?

2369 - Old mechanical siren?

You're right about it being a siren, though I'm not sure if it's belt driven or runs off of a tire as you say.

Correct

I forgot to add that to the post, it's 6" diameter

Nailed it

No one has answered correctly on this tool yet, it would have been used in construction or repair of a specific part of a house or other building, or used on something commonly seen in a house

Yes, it's a crimper but not for shell casings and bullets

2367: railway wheel

Before I look at the other guesses I actually have an idea about a few of these...

2368-rivet gun

2370-no idea

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.

Instead of the pulses of IR LEDs of modern ones. Each button generates a different tone, which is recognized by the TV receiver.

It probably drove small dogs and bats nuts. :-)

The other end is a screwdriver -- probably for maintaining whatever it is used with (again. likely a printing press).

It does not look like the normal mounting to the axle, however. Perhaps something to make it serve as a decorative table.

2369) Various possibilities come to mind.

a) A siren -- with air flowing in through the holes around the rubber pulley shown in the first shot, and exiting through the radial holes chopped on and off as a rotor turns inside the housing.

b) Perhaps some kind of centrifugal pump.

The spring loaded arm looks intended to absorb lots of torque -- which could occur when starting the siren, or when pumping liquid against a head.

But since it does not match those features, and from the wear marks on the blades, it looks more like something to trim grass to a fixed height by opening and closing it over the grass.

Now to post this and see what others have suggested.

Enjoy, DoN.

Missing the normal axle and bearings, however. Apparently mounted this way for some decorative purpose.

Clecos need to be pushed, not pulled as this does. Pop rivet tool is what my guess was.

Enjoy, DoN.

My ex-FIL had one of these for a Zenith back in the early 70s. You had to aim the remote precisely at the receiver on the TV for it to work. I don't know how it worked, but in the late afternoon, the Sun streamed through the window onto the front of the TV. When that happened, the remote did not work.

That's odd! The "clicker" version of "Space Command" controls comprised a set of spring-loaded hammers striking tuned metal rods (like tuning forks).

The TV had a set of LC tuned circuits to discriminate the different frequencies, and move the "clunker" motor or the volume control, or the on/off switch. That Zenith set was the first one I remember that, like modern electronics, was never really "off"; they just turned off the non- essential supplies, but kept the tuning fork "listener" on all the time.

Of course, without PLL circuitry for the vertical and horizontal sweep circuits, you still had to get up and down a lot to "tune", unless you had strong, clean signals without multipath interference.

Early "bang-bang" RC model airplane radios used essentially the same method, but generated the tones electronically, rather than banging on metal rods .
