That rubber looked like vulcanite.

2022-02-05 20:37:57 +0000 UTCThe tape might be a friction tape or some other natural adhesive and cloth tape. I use it to add extra grip to my sculpting tools by winding it around many times(ending up with about an extra 1/16" plus material on the tool), after a using it a while it becomes this sort of smooth, almost polished cohesive mass that feels slightly resiny while also having some slight give if you apply force with something else that's hard.

2019-11-15 09:23:23 +0000 UTCThis is what you (didn't know you) wanted for a plug: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3x-Switchcraft-420-1-4-Phone-Plug-Male-Audio-Connector-PJ-047B-M642-1-1-/141619020406 No soldering - it's assembled with screws. :)

2019-06-06 12:39:31 +0000 UTCSomehow this sphere keeps reminding me of that interrogation/torture device in Star Wars, when Princess Leia is held captive by Darth Vader in the Death Star.

2019-06-06 01:43:04 +0000 UTCThe rubber is indeed natural rubber. Synthetics were only introduced in the 30's and they weren't any better. You would expect a useful life of 10-15 years so I think those are well expired!

2019-06-05 23:14:54 +0000 UTCDad's a retired analytical chemist who used to run a ICP (its a plasma cutter... but Soooo much better) Mass spectrometer. Next time I see him I'll ask about how one would go about sorting out what grease is what. Mass Spec would work but I bet other easier and cheaper options exist. I am a curious bastard like that my self and would use the shit out of a mass spec if I had one...
