Thanks for the help all, it does seem to be some type of impact driver. Turns out it works fine, I just had to apply pressure to the shank when pulling the trigger!

*doesn't spin

Anyone know what this #tool is? Motor definitely runs but the end does spin or otherwise move at all. Seems there is a socket in there, but don't know if it is supposed to be. There is a 2-pos switch on the side and both positions run the motor, so I'm guessing some sort of impact driver?

I need to disassemble the business end to see what's going on, but I feel like by owning this I have become a minor character in a dieselpunk story.

Just some #IRC... on a #WebTV... In 2021.

Oh hey, I moved and have been busy. Here is a picture of my working on my own analog #catv network using some blonder tongue agile modulators. I also have a QAM modulator and some old analog scrambling gear to mess with. Analog TV is a lot of fun!

Happy Friday the 13th! Wednesday is celebrating appropriately. #cats #mastocats

I got 2/3 of my Gandalf short haul #modems working! Now I can theoretically do RS232 over miles of two-pair. Still want to fix the third modem but that might be tricky. #modempunk

If you have a TTY/TTD device and want to give it a try, I have one set on auto-answer mode at 484.996.1337. Feel free to leave a message!

Here is a photo of me connecting to it via a baudot-compatible modem.

NIST still offers a dial-up service that will give you the current time.

Updated http://dialup.world with info for what I'm doing! I'm sure I'm doing something incorrectly but it all sort of works.

Third modem in the pool! I don't think I need three modems for the ISP, maybe I'll dedicate one to fax later.
