Romsk 0 Posted December 13, 2015 I can identify just about everything I see on the show, but in Sheldon's and Leonard's appartment, there is an object on the wooden post in the livingroom that is on left as one would face the hallway to the bedrooms. I am watching the pilot now and it is not there. It looks like some kind of fuse array but there is never a close up of it in any episode. Can anyone tell me what it is? Thanks.

Stephen Hawking 6,662 Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) I know what you are referring to. TBH, it looks more like an electrical bus bar, but, judging by the spacing (and the gaps), it could be part of a musical instrument. Perhaps a keyboard. ETA: Here's another picture of it, along with an aluminium case, that looks like it would fit inside. ETAA: It's an antique fuse holder with fuses. http://movies.stackexchange.com/questions/1664/what-is-this-item-in-sheldon-leonards-apartment Edited December 13, 2015 by Stephen Hawking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Romsk 0 Posted December 13, 2015 Thank you for the close up photo. I agree, it appers to be an electrical bus bar with fuses. How did you get a close up image? Well, now I can enjoy the show without having to ponder what it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I spotted the image with the red highlighting, clicked the link, and found the page. Edited December 13, 2015 by Stephen Hawking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Romsk 0 Posted December 13, 2015 Wow, I thought it was a rather obscure question that only a stage hand could answer. It turns out that I was not the only one with the same question. Thanks! Now... my wife is begging me to ask you, "Are you 'The' Dr. Stephen Hawking? The discoverer of Hawking Radiation, among so many other discoveries. I am rolling my eyes at her...'cha right, Physics is only a part time gig for him...the newbie threads at the Big Bang Theory TV show forum is where he does his best work... Everybody knows that [laugh]. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
