Hi there,
A little while I chanced upon this box:
Emrr was good enough to give me some pointers on GS and after a bit more background work I thought I'd bring it here to see if anyone else would be kind enough to help identify it or to offer further insights, as my Dad and I are trying to resurrect it (he's an electrical engineer of an age where he recognises all the parts in it but he's not really got any experience with audio tech.
The first job he's undertaken for me is to map out the schematic:

And I've got a few more pics for interest and to hopefully jog some recognition from someone. All the backstory I've got is that it came from an RCA PM80 Camera, but to date I've drawn something of a blank on this product (bar one very sketchy pic in a japanese studio).
My Dad has some questions about how some of the specific parts of the circuit work (the de-esser in particular doesn't seem to make sense) and I shall return with these but I just wanted to get this up to see if anyone here can shed any light on it.

Any help, advice or pointers gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Child
