    Name The Species of the Pieces

    Here is a little game I think everyone will enjoy.
    You post up to 3 pictures of a part and then everyone guesses what the part was used in.
    If the part is unusual enough then we can also guess what it is.
    Your prize is the admiration of your fellow Islanders!

    I'll start off.
    Now obviously this is a variable capacitor but, what did it go in?

    This is obviously a chart of mouse cuts, but which butcher shop did it hang in?

    Looks more like a chart of tumor areas.

    The TV tuner was cool, and I was thinking it might be that. All the TV's I cannibalized back in the day had UHF tuners that were small and all covered up in a tin can... soldered shut too. So I wasn't sure.

    Be neat to see it to "scale" like a quarter or something. It's printed so nicely, like a kit or maybe a piece of test equipment. Like the guts of a old school Tektronics scope, designed for serviceability. Belong in my junkbox. ;)

    Here's one, just for fun. Bonus for not only what it is, but what it is inside of.

    My bad, yes the whole board as the "part".

    Ja, power supply, but what kind and/or from?

    Hint: Infamous moneymaker for techs making the repairs...
