"jam their comlink, center switch"

There are no switches!! :lol

 

[propcollector]

Unknown. Same piece is the rear end of the Jabba's guard blaster scope.
The piece in the upper left of that pic is also used on Vader's neck brace.

It wouldn't be the end of a wood lathe, would it? The piece you jam against the wood blank, to hold it in place and spin it?

I believe they're called tailstocks.

Haven't found one that matches. I don't think they normally have the little stubs.

It's really just a guess. The things just kinda reminded me of lathe chucks & whatnot.

I was kinda hoping someone would pop up and say "That's it!" :lol

Further searching reveals it would be a tailstock center.

If that's what it is.

But it probably isn't. :rolleyes

They look like Saturn V parts to me. Just the top conical part with the little stubs - it's a thrust structure for several rocket engines. Er, is that the bit we're talking about?
