back to the roots

Only after a few hours listening to music my amplifier some years old died unexpectedly last week. I decided that any rescue attempt is not worth the effort and looked for an old amplifier I builded ages ago. Found it, plugged it in and after some small fixes I'm now as proud as I was in the last days of eastern germany with my homemade technology. Great 
And now I like to share this impression with you. Do you realize what the remote control was in her former live?
Good you are back! This is quite the contraption!

First try: Sewing Machine Foot Pedal
Hi you,
Tracey, thats the future, you know. It was still the future 20 years ago, and the time of seeking nice-looking devices never passed by, so it must be still somewhere in front of us. So watch out ...
Thomas, best wishes for another great year. And nice guess, but the remote was never a foot pedal in any east-German life. And tell you, that we had only a mechanical sewing machine at home, and my mother might have had left me without television for months if I have had broken her machine. Well, no!
But till now the best suggestion, I'll wait for some days and than you can read the answer on this channel

Hihi,
forgot about my question. The remote control was a calculator, from the well known but not forgotten company Seneca. I just remember, that in the user manual was written that it was made with technology from space-research, maybe thats why it was so flexible in his existence.
Anyway, I was the only one who knew what it was, so I'll pend me a drink especially this evening,
regards,
Rene
I will have one too!
I had this suspicion, a calculator from the "class enemy".
Remember the old joke GDR?
How does the first 1 MB circuit come to the GDR?
Thomas
Too late, I think there are not produced anymore. And the company seems to be bankrupt too. Maybe this transformation device was way to far ahead of the recent technology and people did not knew how to handle this
Anyway, it's funny to write in English to you ...
So, what about the joke?
Rene
True's enough ...
Rene No No ... I mean an extra drink.
Such an old calculator case I'm still lying around ... with these green LEDs ... I cling to the old stuff

AHSO and because East Germany and build your own ... I think there was once one of an integrated circuit has built in analog ... so as Exhibit MMM ... the times were crazy ... it was like?
And how far are you from India?
