I think that it's a mailbox on wheels with a pacifier on a string dangling 
out of it...but ocrrect me if I'm wrong.
no, maybe it's a syringe?  I give up.

It's an oscilloscope... the display is on the side with the probe;
the probe is for sticking into electronics.  Looks like a high-voltage
probe, with a nice big shield.

I suspect it's been turned into a cart because it's moved a lot, and 
table space is hard to come by.  I've seen one before..

Agreed!  But is it a Teck, Phillips, or HP 'scope?  <grin>

   This was on a.a-a.  It's another one of those 'what the heck is it?'
kind of a things.  So I thought I'd repost it all three groups.

It's an oscilloscope on a cart with a probe hanging from the front.
