That's the rear of a 70s
colour TV, the stuff on the side looks like either/both convergence control or an early
electronic tuning system with individual channel tuning.
Actually, it looks like a Heathkit with the plug-in modules along the rear chassis, the
manuals on top look like the right colour with the little title window cut in the cover of
Heathkit manuals.
Here we go, compare:

I think the estate one is an earlier model, probably early 70s, with the flickr-pics one
probably a couple years later.
The thing that made me ask was that the grey thing
was possibly a 1/4 or
larger motor, and maybe it was some oddly skinned disk drive. Now I see it.
My cousin built one of those and had the best workshop TV in full color
till his wife made him put it in a box in the living room. Great fun
with the controls that pulled out after that, but not near as fun as a
25" or so color tv on your bench.
thanks for the info.
I will try to get there tomorrow, may call you, Brendan and let you
distribute the Bytes. I'm looking for a particular ad in the 70s thru
80's magazines and if I find it that would be all I want to keep.
thanks
Jim
