Judging by the valves and large capacitors I'd say it was an amplifier of some sort, maybe for a PA setup? Can't quite make out all the resistors because of all the dust so can't give you the wattage but I suspect something in the region of 10W?


Or it could be a black-box flight recorder from a MIG20?  :whistle:

I was thinking along similar lines; I don't know about the power but it looks very similar to the old tannoys you used to get in train stations etc

Based on what's there, I'm inclined to be boring and agree with everyone else who suggested it's an old valve power amp - probably from a PA system.

Could really do with a few more piccies of it to see if there's a connector block, or somewhere to attach a mic and speaker(s).

It's either that, or part of the TARDIS.
