Thanks for so many responses in less than 24 hours. In particular thanks for identifying the glass thingy as a magic eye. I am familiar with the larger diameter ones that you view end-on, having had one in my first tape recorder about 1958, but I hadn't met this kind.

I did suspect that the brown thing might be a coil somehow loosely coupled to the mains transformer, but it seems a very odd arrangement and I don't understand how it might work or why they would have chosen it.

Anyone feel inclined to give the beast a home?
