>Highly unlikely any modern device will work connected to that input
Ideally I'd like to get an NES or something running on it. I'd love to be able to get something with emulators working through it, but I'd be happy with almost any old console. I'm hoping it can be part of a little nostalgia battlestation.
> You probably don't have the right converter.
Will the RCA on the front require a converter? I can't just plug in the video portion of a normal RCA? I grabbed one of these from Amazon to see if I can't get something through the antenna. Not too hopeful about it, but it's cheap so I'll give it a shot.
>If you do get it working, you're going to be really unimpressed with the picture.
That's half the point, honestly. I have a perfectly good, more modern CRT TV that I could use but my girlfriend insisted that I should at least try to figure out a use for this old thing. Which honestly didn't take much convincing; I've had this TV for as long as I can remember. I've watched Hercules, Xena, Star Trek, Pokemon, MadTV, The Wayans Brothers, etc etc on this thing as a kid.
it looks like this voice recorder i found on amazon if it really is the case, i don't know the story, but i'd go into full lock-down mode. steps are as follows. be forewarned, this is some zero-dark-thirty gulag special forces shit, but in these situations it helps to have a list of things to do.
if you have any questions, message me.
YES! These are great! Their called "trigger point massagers." I have this one: https://smile.amazon.com/Body-Back-Companys-Trigger-Therapy/dp/B0006VJ6TO/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1501414837&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=trigger+point+massager&psc=1
[Bai Chuan HongYuan Classic Series Hard Candy (Guava Flavor)] (https://www.amazon.com/Bai-Chuan-HongYuan-Classic-Flavor/dp/B00JT1N9PO). I think they smell like natural gas, but my kids love them.
wooden hot chocolate hand beater, it's spun between the palms of the hand to make chocolate frothy. This one looks like it comes from Mexico
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AEAJMLO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_dGAYAbCZ70Q49
Yep, twin lead cable. You should be able to adapt that 300 ohm flat to the more modern 75 ohm coaxial cable using one of these. Those adapters are fairly common and available at Walmart, hardware stores, etc. If you have an antenna on your roof it is probably connected to that. If you have a tv with a digital tuner (most flat screens have one) you might be able to tune in digital broadcasts in your area.
Will I need a new antenna to get digital TV?
If you are in the USA or Canada check the TV Fool web site to see if there's free tv in your area and what direction to point your antenna for best reception.
This is the thing you want. It's called a matching transformer. They're probably even less expensive at a place like Walmart if you have one locally. A hardware store or big box home improvement store likely would have one as well.
It's a hand warmer, you light the charcoal stick and it burns inside the case keeping you warm.

I would say a bed/bath door knob key for the door knobs with the simple turn lock on them with a hole on the opposite side, like these http://www.amazon.com/Kwikset-Emergency-Keys-Interior-Locksets/dp/B007F35V1I
Can't find one that looks like that one but it seems like it may work the same.
It's a charcoal hand warmer. https://www.amazon.com/Celsius-Lasting-507-HW-Odorless/dp/B00305KAUW
It's an Audio Video Component Adapter Cable but more specifically: just search for "BN39-01154W" like it says on the label. In stock on Amazon UK.
http://www.amazon.ca/Body-Back-Buddy-Self-Massage-Tool/dp/B0006VJ6TO this?
I used to sell massage tools at my last job. These things are great.
I know it's marked as solved, but I did find a similar mini-voice recorder on amazon. I dont feel like sifting through comments, so I apologize if a link has been shared.
aTTo Digital
One exactly like yours (IR emitter or blaster, not sensor) used to come with old TiVo's - it allowed them to switch your cable box to a channel you wanted to record.
Example of a 2 headed one.
Here is how it was used.
It looks like these were also used by many different video recording devices, including VCRs and later DVRs for the same purpose (allowing it to emulate a remote control to switch your cable box to a specific channel)
Here is another similar one.

Video of how it's used.
/u/82Burgers is right. https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/comments/52u957/belonged_to_my_grandfather/d7nd07l
Looks like a key for an interior privacy knob lock. I think a Quickset brand lock set. Try it on one of bathroom doors.
edit: https://www.amazon.com/Kwikset-Interior-Door-Emergency-Pack/dp/B007F35V1I
edit: the trim carpenter would leave them on top of the door casing over the door with the lock.

Yep, a TiVo IR Blaster transmitter (this link goes to the one you have; the one in the FAT is a different style)
It is Guava Hard Candy, like this
http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Guava-Hard-Candy-12-3/dp/B000J0N1CK
Looks like HongYuan guava-flavoured hard candy.
Does it flip open and closed? It looks like a vegetable strainer

> giant antenna / ligtning rod thing
Ah, kids these days... :-)
Those are antennas, and there are two of them. The brass-colored one is a directional UHF/VHF TV and FM antenna, probably pointed toward the transmitters for most of your local over-the-air TV stations. The silver one at the top of the mast is probably an omnidirectional FM antenna. They look to have 300-ohm twinlead cable, and you'll probably find the other ends terminated on wall plates with two screws. Since there are separate antennas, one probably goes to where a TV might be situated and the other to where a stereo might go.
If they're not in the way of anything, leave them there or make use of them. To connect them to current equipment, you'll need a 300-to-75-ohm balun, also called a matching transformer.
It's guava candy. If you want to buy some, here is a link:

Guava hard candy
Hard to tell by just looking at it. It's obviously been used so it looks sort of old. But they still make them and they haven't really visually changed over the years.
I had one of these when I was younger and it got that charred looking after a few uses. I wouldn't assume the one in the picture is ancient based on the condition.
I put these types of keys on top of the door frames. Don't want someone locked in in trouble.
The keys I have look like this
Do they have an alarm system? It looks similar to glass break detectors.

Even if someone manages to pick your lock, this will stop them from actually being able to open your door - only if someone is home though, it can't be used if no one is inside to place it. I know of at least one story where it prevented a woman's rape.
