This is a stand for a volume control for an Apple II, II+, or IIe computer. The potentiometer goes through the hole, the tab fits into the slots on the Apple II, and the wires go through the stand slot and into the potentiometer. A small hole on the back side is designed to fit the tab on the potentiometer to prevent it from slipping. For details on the electronics see YouTube, Assembly Lines podcast #67
