As Al said, Kennedy 9000.
Slide the test buttons door panel upwards on the top left and all will be revealed :)

I racked one of these a fortnight ago. BTW If the old rubber rings one the hubs are too
expanded and won't allow a tape reel to slide on, just replace with a # BS336 O-ring
from a bearings/seals/gasket shop. These are cheap, readily available and takes seconds
to install for a perfect fit.
