I am starting to wonder if it's a vintage piece of kit at all to be 
honest! It seems that the company still do (or did until very recent 
times possibly) video projectors and other related gadgets.

It may well be it's not even something that old at all and is some sort 
of gadget the owner thought we'd like to assist in public displays or 
whatever :-)

(In which case it'd likely still be good to have... I'm just surprised 
that google reveals no possible info other than this black Apple II+ 
from way back, which doesn't appear to have anything by way of fancy 
video ability)

Guess I'll have to sit and await more details from the owner! :)

cheers

Jules
