[...] importantly though, the Big Bang Theory investigation thickens as there wasn’t a clear cut answer about WTF that thing is on the apartment wall. [...]

I am almost it is a synthesizer keyboard as is if you took the back of the keyboard off, so the insides were exposed, and placed it face down. So you could see the open back. Pretty sure.

I was actually in the studio the other day, and they had this old, old mixing console there. And they used to have to hang the amplifier tubes above the console, because the technology didnt exist to put them in the machine itself. (hahaha) They had something that looked very similar to your picture at the studio. That is what I believe it is.

If they are data tapes, that would be in keeping with the show theme.

I doubt that is a musical instrument action. I agree it is a grounding / power distribution buss (most likely the latter). I suspect the grouping of the six attached devices are probably fuses of some sort.

If you watch the show, would you think it is more likely an artistic devcie like a musical instrument component or rather a device more strictly technological like an electrical component?

It looks like a grounding strap, like the one in the server room at work.

Yeah, it almost looks like a rack of old radio carts (similar to 8-tracks)… but not quite. I’m not sure.

That’s weird, because I just noticed that last night and was wondering what it was…the piano action is the only thing I could think of.
