Hi Guys,
I need a little help here. I bought some items in a lot from an estate sale and I have two items that I can't identify. I've check around the web and no luck. Hoping someone here can help.

First item is a Team Associated (symbol) Houge???

It has an off and on switch. Fine adjustment knob, its battery powered, it has a switch that toggles between "volts" and "amps". Two leads with aligator clips. Any ideas what does?

Second item looks like a tool of some sort. Homemade. Can hold two electric motors at the some time. Any ideas?

In the bottom picture, the pink thing is a SK motor stand and the one on the left is so you can break the bushings and brushes in on a motor without putting power to the new motor, slave motor with probably be the correct description.

The top picture I can't help you with.

Could the top picture also be a motor break-in tool? Something to use so you how many amps/volts a motor is drawing?

It also might be a voltage regulator to run the slave motor in the bottom picture when breaking in motors when hooked up to a 12volt power supply.

didn't houge make alot of hop up parts for the RC10 and Team Losi JRX back in the early 90's ? Could be wrong, that could an old school motor checker, for checking volts and amps based...... kinda like what bud had, but in an all in one setup
? hmmmmm
