I found this DEC 861C rackmount Power Control in my attic over the
weekend. I tested it and I only seem to get power on the "unswitched
circuit" side. The switched circuit side seems dead...Perhaps someone
can fix this and has use for it...Shoot me an email if you're interested
in it. You pay shipping and a few bucks extra for motivation.
You did try flliping the tiny toggle swithc to 'Local On', I assume.
I am sure it's fixable. There's nothing remotely custom in those, the
circuitry is quite simple.
