Este objeto misterioso ha sido reemplazado por la tecnología moderna. Mi OM es 15 centímetros de altura y pesa 5 kilos. (This MO has been outdated by modern technology. My MO is 15 centimetres high and weighs 5 kilos. **

"Obsoleto" is an adjective Annie - can't be used as a verb. Try "reemplazado" please. - geofc, JUN 9, 2010

That's a new word for me - gracias :o - nonombre, JUN 9, 2010

I am totally clueless, Annie, but I am enjoying reading the answers. - Rikko, JUN 9, 2010

Hola Rikko, this "MO" would stump most people :o - nonombre, JUN 9, 2010

Answer 1

Do you call that a dater or a dating machine?

Done like a dog's dinner Rikko - well done! - nonombre, JUN 10, 2010

Gracias for all the clues. Yet I can't believe it. Five kilos to stamp a date on a ticket? - Rikko, JUN 10, 2010

I know, if you hit someone in the head with it they'd have a headache for sure! - nonombre, JUN 10, 2010

Most likely you'll wipe him off the face of the earth with that. - Rikko, JUN 10, 2010

My mystery object is a ticket dating machine. This particular one was in use at one of our Blue Mountains stations until 1989..

Is it that equipment they use to punch holes on tickets?

No Rikko :( - nonombre, JUN 10, 2010

Uh oh, Einstein's here. :) - Rikko, JUN 10, 2010

Hola Albert - vas por el buen camino - este "OM" tiene algo que ver con los boletos - necesito más información :o - nonombre, JUN 10, 2010

This machine does not "produce" tickets. - nonombre, JUN 10, 2010

Answer 8

It's a telephone

Es un telefono

Robertico, its specs are 15 cms and 5 kilos. :) - Rikko, JUN 10, 2010

that's 6 inches and 11 lbs. - 00813f2a, JUN 10, 2010

jejeje - nonombre, JUN 10, 2010

my next guess was a gum machine but they don't make t55 gum machines, it's too small to be an engine part or a black box, it's not a fire alarm handle because that hasn't changed with technology, so it's an old version of the t55 cell phone. - 00813f2a, JUN 10, 2010

I am rotf now.... - nonombre, JUN 10, 2010

Answer 9

is it some kind of a game, like used to stamp something or carve on something. cause its base is smaller than one floor tile.

Looks like a hinge for something really heavy.

Rikko tristamente mi "om" no es ningún tipo de bisagra :o - nonombre, JUN 10, 2010

Answer 11

New South Wales Government Railways.

¿Tendrá que ver con el ferrocarril?

Si mountaingirl - vas por el buen camino - mi om tiene algo que ver con los ferrocariles... - nonombre, JUN 10, 2010

Y si, n-s-w-g-r es "New South Wales Government Railways"... - nonombre, JUN 10, 2010

Answer 12

I think we are looking at the coin return portion of a stand, probably of a parking meter but my first thought was that it belonged to a public telescope because of the clue to keep your eyes peeled. Is there such a thing as an obsolete mechanical coin operated telescoping potato peeler?

Ay LateToDinner - su respuesta es muy creativo pero - por supuesto - completamente incorrecto - y estoy "lol". - nonombre, JUN 9, 2010

And "keep your eyes peeled" - not a clue - just the way I talk :o - nonombre, JUN 9, 2010

It looks like a mailbox/letterbox to me but it's not big enough.
