It's made of walnut wood and the swing out arm seems to be made of plastic. That's a convex mirror on one side of the arm with a black colored stiff bristle brush on the other side.
I have had this thing in my junk drawer for several years and never knowing what it is or what it's for. Yes, I still have a junk drawer. You'da thought that I would have grown out of having a junk drawer eventually but it's one thing from my youth that I just can't seem to shake. Anyways, any thoughts on what it is and what it is used for.
Hmmm, who else besides me still has a junk drawer and is it still one of the drawers in your dresser??

Pi - don't feel bad about your junk drawer... one of the things my mother had to do when they built the new house was map out her kitchen cabinetry configuration (every cooks dream)... there is a designated junk drawer in the design.

I have a whole house full of junk, Park and a storage shed and a storage van parked outside but now my junk drawer, ahh my junk drawer, that is reserved for the special stuff that's just too cool to throw out or sell.
And most of the things in my junk drawer are things that I save because I might need them or find a new use for them someday.

Well if you wanted to sell it you could - I doubt they make them any more and there is a need for them with vintage stereo stuff.
I have one - maybe two.

Classic, I will sometimes put a quarter in a picture to show dimensions of something. I do this with my auctions also but invariably it seems like I always get someone asking me what the dimensions are.
I also like to include a pic of a quarter in these whatisit threads to see if after I ask what it is then someone may come back and say, it's a quarter.
Otherwise, if you're really interested in what the hells up with the quarter, i'll sell it to you for 27 cents, you pay shipping. It's a 1998 version.

Sooner or later, you will wind up with some dummy who'll neg you because you didn't include the quarter when you shipped his widget. Complaint: "I bought 2 items. This crook only shipped one. Buyers beware!!"

LOL Sparkz, I guess I should consider shipping them the table that the images were taken on also huh. And they wonder why the shipping cost is $100 for a new Timex wristwatch. It's because the folding table weighs 85 pounds and it's oversized, dumbazz.

LOL, I too put either a quarter or a dime in the picture at times and write on pic not included in auction. hahaha
I just recently had an auction that I listed and great description and finally said what you see is what you get. Well after listing I got to reading it and thought I better make that a little more clear as item was sitting on a small rustic table most would love to have so added not included is the table and any background things. Who knows someone might get pi$$ed off cause they didn't get the flowers growing in background.
I have at least 1 if not 2 junk drawers in each room, they are filled with all sorts of odd stuff and it comes in handy when I am Southern Engineering something which I am notorious for.

Thanks toasted. For as old as I am, and that does go back almost to the slate record days, I have never seen one of those before. But sure enough, ebay has a few listed.

yea stone-one side is for cleaning the stylus,and the other side is a mirror.The mirror makes it a lot easier to look at the stylus to see if there are any gremlins on it.
