    I think it's a shaker motor. Looks like it's sorta based on the 515, or possibly whatever it's field coil predecessor was. Seller says 60lbs!

    ................. and it's pegging my cool meter

    I'm thinking R&D, laboratory/testing.

    Check out that mechanism, bevel gears and rack that moves the thing in it's base. That stuff was tooled separately of the device itself, it was customized for a very specific application, whatever it is. There's even a tool crib ID plate on the base.

    It's not Altec.
    It says Ling Altec. That was the corporate name. Made in England, I doubt it has Altec parts.

    I see no electrical connections.

    Ling Altec made lots of military. IMHO it's an ignorant seller hoping calling it "Altec Ling" instead of Ling Altec will sell it. A curious piece of mechanical scrap. Nothing more.
    Your neighbors called. They like your music.
