How about some machining pORn?

It is a telescope mount with hand hobbed gears on it. Most of the aluminum is anodized a very subtle white color which is very hard to see.

I never appreciated how many tiny operation went into every part on it.

The metal part made to hold the on/off switch, the capacitor for the motor plus a neon bulb for the "on" indicator took what appears to be around 15-20 separate machining operations, done in the days before CNC

Sadly I did let it get a bit rusted in a damp place but luckily I can clean it off.

The counterweight inside held some information, the specs for the anodizing, a date plus a name
