<p>[QUOTE="BU66, post: 369929, member: 4810"]Funny story, about 25 years ago my father saw those in his attic. They were about 15 feet from the access but difficult to see past the roof supports and poor lighting. So me being a young buck(back then)he asked me to climb up there to see what they are. I did but didn't get too close because the lack of head room(I'm 6' tall)and the ridge board supports in the way. At that time they looked like all one piece. I told my father they looked like some type of switching device he asked me to bring them down and I said dad whatever they are it's going to be very heavy.</p><p>He said forget it and I was glad, after all I didn't want to drop them through the drywall ceiling in the garage and on to the concrete floor. So they've been there ever since.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fast foreward to last week and since I'm selling the house since dear old dad has passed away. I sent my son up there to take pics with his cell phone(he's the young buck now)we found out they were not one piece they were just sitting on a board that looked like it was all in one so to speak. My son moved them over to me on another board and we brought them down from the attic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes they're very dusty and I haven't cleaned them because if they weren't anything special I was going to toss them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

He said forget it and I was glad, after all I didn't want to drop them through the drywall ceiling in the garage and on to the concrete floor. So they've been there ever since. Fast foreward to last week and since I'm selling the house since dear old dad has passed away. I sent my son up there to take pics with his cell phone(he's the young buck now)we found out they were not one piece they were just sitting on a board that looked like it was all in one so to speak.

Yes they're very dusty and I haven't cleaned them because if they weren't anything special I was going to toss them.[/QUOTE]
