Thats a great idea. I never thought of that!


Ah, light bulb moment. They categorised their scrapings.

But nothing found :-|

That mixer looks more like a trivial switch, and should be easy to buzz
out with a continuity tester to find the functions. I have a similar
Tandy Realistic 42-2115 tape control centre on the HiFi.

From left to right, I'd judge the purposes of the switches like:

VCR-1 & VCR-2
Selects sources for recording into each.

PROCESSOR
Connects via loop-out/loop-in an external video processor box in-line
with the selected input, hopefully* so that the enhanced signal can be
recorded with VCR-1 & VCR-2.

MONITOR
Merely connects to the source output, enhanced or not.

* should be easy to buzz out with a meter, or just try it.

Might not be you, but a lot of folks have issues with the directional
labels in & out, and yet fully manage to survive a trip to a supermarket
or the car park.

Do you really need the manual?

Go back to around 2005 (or other year - you need to hunt!), manual
directories are there, some PDFs may be archived, and if you are lucky
RS never deleted them from the server even if the link went away later -
so you then try the "This Page Is Available on the Web" and see if it
pulls it in.
