Pics are working again...

Wow. You got me. What's in the big hole? A launcher? Nothing? Is it a turbine?

EDIT: The rest of TFland is fine now, but still no pics.
You were seeing errors? What kind of errors, and when?

Just "Page Load Errors". About an hour ago, so maybe just before noon today? The rest of my internet was working fine, though.

:? :roll: you got me puzzeled..

My first thought was the back end of a triggerhappy thruster... But I have never taken that apart.. so not sure..
Second guess was a launcher from thunderclash.

Do you have any dimensions? could make it easier.

You mean like this page?

...or something different?

Totally different. Firefox's "Page Load Error".

for your questions. its some kind of booster I would think. 3-4 inches long, doesn't have any markings or internal mechanisms.

Hmmm...and that's been consistently happening throughout the day? Yesterday too, etc?

Sorry Dez, the part looks familiar but I'm not 100% what it is....

Showed this picture to a friend of mine and he thinks it could be star wars related.. he's not sure about that (the red washing was why he thought this).

It was just happening for about two hours this morning, Trance. Probably nothing? Maybe my internets decided to *just* hiccup on your pages?

And yeah, it looks familiar Dez, but I'm drawing a blank. If I see one, I'll let you know!

Well, I'll tell you it's not off a transformer of ANY sort, and it's too bright to be starwars, I think. they tend toward muted tones or grey scorch washing, not red washing. Also, the apparent detachability should be a clue.

Usually those tubes come with a bottle of lube.
