RMweb Premium spamcan61 Posted April 11, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) The lack of branding is odd, unless the mysterious "CI" in the top right hand corner is the manufacturer. The front panel looks too "pro" for a DIY job, unless it's a kit from a magazine. Edited April 11, 2021 by spamcan61 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibelroad Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I take it that due to the complexity of the controls that there are electronics inside, any clues from the circuit board, is there any makers name, does it look kit built or mass produced? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 The rest of the photos look as if it is mass build, similar style to 70's H & M units. I was just curious, was doing an ebay search for AMR hand held units. I could post link but not sure if it allowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't/wasn't C1 a certification mark of safety, similar to the current CE mark, indicating the controller is a commercial unit? Mike. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
