I'll give you the 100 pence and that'll have to include postage! I suspect Andy's offer may well be one to clinch very quickly!

I'll give you £100 Neil, if you leave the three LC2s on it!

Have you managed to make it control anything - using a BL1000 I would guess from that era? Are there any guidance notes?

Its a flux capacitor that gives out 21.1 gigawatt of power. An early B & O time device?

Yes, my guess is that it is from this era ... it is in fact an early home cinema control unit ... curtains, projector, screen, lights control etc.

On the back there were 3 (yes three) LC2s mounted ... these have been removed ;)

So ... any takers?

The link module shows this to be about 15 years old - it looks lke one 4 pin and one powerlink socket to control power via a Beolink - I am guessing for a TV, remote stand and video from an ex display......

Excellent find and worth £100 to some - 100 pence to others!

Speaker display turntable/drive unit.

Well I know the speaker switch thingy that Andy has uses Shift, Phono then 1 - 12 to select between up to 12 pairs of speakers. Can't think what else uses 4 pin DIN sockets. Are there any connections on the other side?

4 pin din, like an MX stand ... but not for an MX stand.

As I have disassembled part of it ... I do not wish to plug it in until i have made it safe.

I get the feeling that Andy knows exactly what it is!

nobby:

They look like powerlink sockets ... but they are not ... some strange 4 wire interface.

4 pin DIN, like an MX stand?

Have you managed to operate it Neil.
If not, try plugging it in, plugging a device in the left 3 pin socket, then Shift, Phono, 1 or Shift, phono, 2
If you have operated it, could you tell us what command you used please?
