I tried posting this in the "what is it forum but got no responses, so...
This is sitting here outside my trailer and I was told that it's a centrifuge... ? That's a small possibility up top under the black metal lid but maybe it's a real small jig at best... I would like to know if there's a brand name associated with this machine and a positive ID. Its about 6 feet tall over all. 3 feet to the table. You can see the standard faucet for more size indication. 20201101_121318.jpg

Looks like a jig, the spring loaded part makes the water flow pulsate. Is it full of BB's? Didn't you have a centrifuge on your trommel?

Looks like a miniature simplex jig. Just missing the drive motor to run the pulse piston.

If the rubber is still in good shape you just need to add an electric motor, speed controller and cam.

I doubt you would need to add ragging or shot for a small system like this.

That's what I'm thinking, I'll see if I can pull it apart and try to get it working..

The rest of you guys aren't helping anything...
Except keeping my sense of humor running wild :evil6:

I'm sitting down here in Stanton, AZ now for the winter. We've been here almost a week and should be finished setting up everything today :laughing7:
