Not a CPU but interesting

Just about when I thought I have run across the majority of vintage avionic parts, I ran across this item today. The angles on the coils are very precise. I cannot even imagine what it is. There are electronic connections on the back.

ahhmmm to me looks like an hard disk head mechanism ,,, of course like hand made-early one..... with some imagination

Post some other perspectives of the device if u can

[kosmokrator]

May this give some x y angle results of some specific angle range of 60 deg(?)

Also the red paint on ferrite(?) material means hi percicion calibration of the device.....

It's a print head of an old needle printer.

I have two different heads in my inventory. I don't collect them, but purchase them on eBay if the price is right.

Thanks for the info. Printer head makes sense. I thought it came out of a box of avionic parts that I have but Querty's response makes sense.

It's a dot matrix print head, 9 pin.
