Title: Any Ideas What This Hook Is For?
Post by: SUnset2 on September 14, 2021, 11:18:02 PM
I saw this WE candlestick for sale on local Craigslist.  It has a strange looking hook on the front below the transmitter mount.  Is this a factory option, or somebody's kludge?

I'll take a stab at it. It looks like a nail that was put through where the pivot pin of the hookswitch might be. The side that you don't see has the head of the nail. The shaft below the perch looks drilled.
