Hiroshi Iwahara - Another Aquarius Drawer (2017)

⟬ Karakuri Fortnight ⟭——[ puzzles by KCG designers ]——08. Hiroshi Iwahara - Another Aquarius Drawer (2017)

made from: Japanese raisin tree, padauk, magnolia, wendge, keyaki

from the KCG description: 

This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2017.

The Christmas present for the previous year, RF-49 “Bean Bag Drawer 3 (Cat's bell)” was somewhat difficult to solve. So, this year, I tried to use a simpler idea. There are two spaces in the drawer. The second space is locked. When you move the device on the top with the drawer, you may figure out how to solve it. The gimmick is different from RF-55 “Aquarius Drawer (5 devices)”, but,I intentionally used the same name. This might be one of the clues to solving it.

function note: the red sliding panel is loose enough to slide with gravity, but this does not affect the solve in any way.

i do not have the storage box or the official solution sheet for this puzzle, but i will sketch out the solution.

♫: 

—1. everything i have is in the photos.

—2. shipment is by USPS Priority Mail, insured for the full sale price and trackable.

—3. shipping will be calculated after all auctions in this Fortnight are closed (because it makes invoicing so much easier).

—4. payment is via PayPal only.

—5. all puzzles in my collection have been kept out of sunlight, in a humidity-stable room or sealed plastic container, away from pets unless they can solve them, and in a non-smoking household.

—6. i'm capping shipping prices at $30: if it costs more, i will pay the balance.

thank you for looking, and good luck if you bid.
