ROTJ detonator charges

I think I see what you're seeing, but I think it's just the patina. I could be wrong. Well I now have exactly one part for this, that gear.
It looks like the tone arm part is too large in diameter... The part on the real prop seems to be the same diameter as the Visible V8 gear and there also appears to be a bit of a space between the part and the central ring of the brown plastic portion. Perhaps the search continues?

As an aside has the detonator case been identified? Looks like an old GPO field telephone.

So now there is talk at the V2 post that the mystery chunk might hobnails used in WW2 German Jackboots. Luke ROTJ V2 lightsaber
What are you using for the housing, Marcus?
Or is that all scratch-built?
The two white pieces on the top look like knobs from a mixer board or similar.

what’s the rusty cap on top of the V8 part?

I’ve got a theory. I do not think it is rust but the actual color of the found item. Looks like the whole part was painted silver but over time, most of it is now worn off. So it could still be a type of chair glide in a brownish plastic. And plastic would make more sense if it was a chair guide because the tend to be plastic to not scratch up floors.

Huh, I didn't even think the donut could just be painted!
And interestingly... here's a pic teecrooz posted in the V2 thread recently...
Could be the original color
also now I see that BRR's cryptic messages on the 4th must have been the timestamp of the discovery of the mystery chunks Looking forward to the reveal!

I am so perplexed by the main body. It seems like a found item, an not a cast copy of a found item. And in it seems that way in each version that has been photographed. So it would seem it would be something the prop department could get a number of, not just find a one-off and copy it.
I also wonder if the fact that the main body appears to orange, if that has any clue as to its origins. Is it a piece of safety or nautical equipment? Is it part of lawn or construction equipment?
What could have possible originally fit in the center hole? Does the hole have 3 inner cog-like teeth because the part spins and it kept a rod from slipping. Just so much to consider about the details of that part.

Romans Props has the knurled square buttons on his site under parts and he calls it a “chunk’’. I found a knurled thumb screw on eBay I used on my 2-1B droid that is close.
