We found this thing in the basement of my daughter's home they just bought.

It's a solid-state phase rectification modulator. Back in the old
days, they put one in every house. It regulated the electrical
current so that the space-time continuum would stay constant. Then
they found out it was supposed to be warped, so they quit using them.
