Anybody have a clue what the hell this is? Is it a toggle sprocket vibrator?

Looks like a vintage Right-Hand-Thread Knudder Valve bracket.. I may be wrong though as I've never sen one before. :stunned:

Simon,
these are vibrators used in machinery handling sand, pebbles, that kind of thing, where vibrating and bouncing the medium around helps it to flow.
These particular ones use compressed air to turn them, the turbine wheel inside has some holes so that it is out of balance and creates a significant rotating force that can shake a machine or duct conveying material when mounted on the outside.
These are available in various sizes ranging from a GT4 up to a GT48.

Personally, I'm usually trying to stop things vibrating, so I don't use them:laugh:.

Whew, thanks for the info. I thought that it was an under over lower blower.

I think i'm with Pete, on this one

 

[Dalton Veitch]

Yeah, I'm with Pete too. Dave B. took all the romance out of my daydream of combining GT40's and vibrators.

pneumatic turbine vibrator sounds like Superwoman's pleasure toy....

OK Dalton,
you're right, let me put that romance and GT40 vibrator combination back together. All you need is an air compressor, a GT40 turbine vibrator, and one of Petes alternative ultimate GT40 accessories.
Strap the GT40 turbine vibrator to the back of Petes accessory, lie on your back in the car, and invite Petes accessory to climb aboard. Now activate the air compressor and there you have it.
Now if that doesn't turn on the Right-Hand-Thread Knudder Valve and give you an under over lower blower I don't know what will.
