Vibration calibrator

[Fingerlessliz]

I have this vibration calibrator, and I'd like to sell it. Where do I even start? Who uses these things?

@Geoff.D and @Gordon_R dig tinkering around with seismic stuff, maybe they have a use for it

Maybe sell it to a sex shop....I'm sure they can use it for calibrations.

Thats an old piece of equipment so you will need to look for places that collectors hang out.

Last time I saw one of those was in the STC Boksburg crystal factory being used to calibrate test gear for the manufacture of crystals for radios.

Never seen one before. Some sort of mechanical workshop device. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_calibrator

The most basic vibration tester is a tuning fork

It was part of what was left behind by previous owners on a property I bought. Would you like to buy it?

The guys at Vintage Computing and Console Group of South Africa have weird fetishes and interests, somebody just may take it off you.

It belongs in a technical museum

Right. Where are the science and technology museums in SA?

There is one in Pretoria:

I've never been in it, so I don't know how good it is.

Then Tuks has the Sci-Enza. It was excellent back in the day, and the last I heard it was still good. I haven't been there in more than a decade, though.
