Mystery part identification: photos, markings, and measurements

Found an unknown part in a lot, old build, or parts bin? Post an overall photo plus close-ups from several angles. Include every molded number, engraving, logo, label, and package marking you can find.

Measurements that help:

  • Overall length, width, and height
  • Hole spacing and screw size
  • Shaft, bearing, wheel-hex, or bore diameter
  • Gear tooth count and pitch or module
  • Connector type and wire count
  • The model or other parts it was found with

A ruler or caliper in the photo makes visual comparisons much more reliable.
