via this auction"Not something you're going to see every day - this custom modular rack unit was rescued from a BBC studio. In all honesty I know very little about it other than what I can tell from looking at it, and I have not tested it as I don't have the Neutrik mains connector required to power it up (these are available on eBay though). This custom-made box consists of 4 modules.
From left to right:* The first, main module, appears to be a 4 step sequencer with variable rate, hold, and reset controls. If you remove the 4 black covers beneath are potentiometers for adjusting each of the 4 frequencies.
* Next: Envelope shaper with on-off control
* Third module is a low pass filter.
* Finally a very high quality BBC PS2/13D/599 dual rail power supply.
On the side of the machine is a Neutrik mains connector and two jack sockets (possibly GPO jack).
An internal sticker indicates that the unit was known as the "Bonger" - which may well be descriptive of the kind of sound it produces.
I have no idea what this unit was designed for but it could well be an interesting addition to the analogue synthesists arsenal."
The note and the design remind me of something out of J. J. Abrams' Lost.Sold For: GBP 182.77
