I would think it is an old woofer frame, since it has holes in the rim.That dark grey thing looks like an old arc lamp. Probably an Ashcraft.

Just guessing, -
Old washing machine transmission? Maybe.What keeps coming to mind though is an old spring loaded contactor used at my dad's radio station. I vaguely remember something having a star wheel like that that made a HUGE racket making high amperage contacts. The contacts had to be made super fast to avoid arcing, and there was a mechanism to build up spring tension and suddenly release it to move the contacts. Is that what this is? I dunno, but the frame looks too heavy to be a speaker frame. I'd be more inclined to think it a PTO device of some sort from a tractor attachment than a speaker frame. Then again, those notches would be good places to wrap wire to create a magnetic field... perhaps to help stabilize the arc?
Nah, I got it. It is part of ET's phone home machine.
ET has left the building.

Per: You should see the crap laying in the old logging roads. Junk cars, washing machines, hot water heaters, tires, and just about anything else you might think you would find in a landfill. The Great Fathers of Washington State are partially to blame. There are so many goofy laws and regulations on the books that makes it almost impossible to dispose of most junk. Up here, you have to "Pay" sometimes big money to dispose of junk. Many low and medium income familys don't have that kind of money. So they just haul it off and dump it on an old abandoned logging road. It really jacks my jaws.....we have a small community park and a small woods to go with it, and when I walk the little Poopers, I find screen doors, garbage, and tires that were tossed into the woods from the road.  At the theater, I have 2 junk ice heads I can't get rid of. Dumps won't take them. The city will, if we pay them some ungodly fee..... The enviromentalists strike again! I am sure there are many states in this country that share the same problem with us. In the southern parts of the USA, the defination of a Microsoft Spreadsheet is an inventory of the number of dead cars that are sitting on someone's property.
