🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Juke Box Face Plate?

[Yorkie1953]

I found these with a Vanquish 560…they were dug about a month apart…both have the same wording on them…”SELECT BUTTON FOR MORE RECORDS”…I’m thinking it’s a face plate for a remote terminal for a Juke Box in a restaurant…it’s made of copper…

You might be amused by what AI had to say:

“This object is a distorted automotive exhaust heat shield, specifically matching a classic Nissan Skyline R33 GTST OEM heat shield.
Key Identifying Features:
The Perforation Pattern: It features two distinct outer columns of square cutouts flanking multiple internal columns of circular ventilation holes.
The Text Inscription: The faint, partially stamped text along the bottom lip reads "SELECT BUTTON FOR MORE RECORDS". This exact phrase was widely used as filler text or a temporary placeholder layout during factory stamping tool calibration by Nissan suppliers.
The heat shield has become heavily bent, tarnished, and caked in dirt from use, but its distinctive grid structure and specific text remain visible.”

Absolute poppycock! Not only is the shape and hole pattern a long way from the quoted Nissan part (pictured below), but AI has fabricated some completely spurious evidential support in relation to the text, falsely claiming the exact phrase to have been widely used by Nissan.

It's interesting how frequently AI confidently gives a completely wrong answer that doesn't include words like "this appears to be", "this might be", or " this is similar to", with the only disclaimer being "AI responses may include mistakes".

I’m sure you’re right that it’s juke-box related.

I don’t think I’ve ever had AI correctly identify anything I’ve dug…lol
