Any ideas?

What this could be?

Possibly associated with a wind turbine???

Sorry for the bad pic!

Looks like a burnt out school type clock to me.

What size is it?

 

[Blue Duck]

At a guess it's about 150-200mm, saw a picture before meltdown and is pretty much the same other than the burny bits...

It's obviously part of a burnt out hyperdrive from the Star-Ship Enterprise. The melted needle bit is the speed indicator, showing how many Galaxies per second you will pass through. Or it may be the dashboard display for a shielding device on the Millennium Falcon. The melted dial would rotate clockwise to indicate the shield strength. You would need to check on the back for the model and serial numbers to be 100% sure. Other than that, I don't have a clue!

What do those wires connect onto on the back?

From the wiring it looks like it could be a Synchro..... basically a repeater indicator that shows the direction that something is pointing

Lift indicator?

Is the black goo part of a melted dial, or is it the internals of the disk that have melted out?

Any pictures of the other side? 

My guess is a sensor of some type.

Simple, it ain't rocket science ,  it's FU[|<3€|

seriously though, I have seen one before. It's the inner thrake conglomeration indicator from a Retro Encabulator

European edition, without the wuffle valve, obviously

I think the goo is from the inside, not an indicator of some sort? It's in a electrical intake room of large super market, may be seeing it in person late next week.

Well obviously it is a non-calibrated goo dispenser then if it has no indicator! probably circa 1970 or earlier. As I think from May 1971 all Goo-Dispensers had to be calibration to BS guidance, so a working indicator needle would have been mandatory!
