If nobody can guess this one from just the pointy end of the stick, I’ll post a photo with more context…

It’s a ultrasonic delay line
ooh good eye. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_delay_line#/media/File:Us_delay_line.jpg looks like a lost cousin
It’s a ultrasonic delay line, I remember tearing down some from PAL TVs where they’re used to delay the color information as full line time (64us) and correct phase errors.
Could it be an EMI probe?
Probably a sonic delay line, given the angles, but for the hell of it: scintillation counter.

But those ulrasonic delay lines … they have 4 pins, and this thing seems to have only 3 pins?
If you look carefully, you’ll notice metalization underneath both piezo elements going to the top connector. It really close to the one used by this guy http://www.pykaso.net/2013/01/06/vyslouzila-soucastka-jako-stylova-bluetooth-rgb-lampicka/ so it’s probably an old estern european design.
Of course it can still be some other exotic sensor, we don’t know what’s on the other end.
Funny I just found one of these a couple of weeks ago and had no idea what it was. But someone called it straightaway http://vintageteardown.com/teardown/mystery-components/
Bunnie showing his age here. This image is instantly recognizable to those of us oldies who grew up around analog television sets (and VCRs). Too easy!
It might be sonic delay line……….
You guys are probably right.
My first impulse was Piezoelectric Galvanometer or Loadcell.
But the angles… Probably delay line.
Looks like a photo detector. Ive seen one like this for a remote flash sensor for camera. It picks up the light from the main camera and triggers a remote shoe for auxiliary flash.
I think that yellow node is part of a tv or something.
This is very well written. The article was informational to elocutionists who exactly have a good value for articles. We looking forward for more of the very same. He has detailed each and every little thing extremely beautifully and in brief.
