I figure many of the forum members probably visit their local e-waste facility at least occasionally or know those that do, so I'm just throwing this out there to see if anyone may have seen one of these units kicking around.
This was part of an utility load-control system that used the power lines themselves as the communications medium.
The Distribution Control Terminal (DCT-501) allowed the utility to monitor the voltage, line current, etc. at a given location, as well as indirectly controlling loads on site.
Even when these were state of the art in the '80s, few were produced... like I said, long shot.
The electronics are contained within an enclosure on the back of the door, and would have been nearly identical to the 'mainboard' picture, as well as an ADC daughterboard.
On the odd chance someone has one of these, I am willing to at minimum cover shipping, and in the event you do not wish to sell, I just want the opportunity to examine / document the boards / chassis wiring, and dump the EPROMs.
