       Look at this beautiful little 1000ppm rotary encoder I found lying in a junk pile at work. IFM Electronic model RB6029.

       Also up here, a box of spare 500W ceramic 100ohm braking resistors for winch motors.

       Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in many a year... (acquired by Schneider Electric in 1992)

       Tell me this isn’t some seriously sexy cable porn here. Done by Siemens in the early 70s for the original concert hall house lights. Long defunct.

       They seem to have had separate heating filaments and dimmed filaments, hence the doubled fuses and brown-grey-red active wiring? Here’s the key mounted inside the cabinet door.

       Oh I didn’t read properly! Not house lights at all but fluorescent lighting I think downlighting the walls around the outside edge of the hall.

       In that case, probably still completely live and in use! I didn’t get out my non-contact tester, but I should have (though of course I wasn’t touching anything)

       Adding to the cable porn, for @eater - terminal blocks inside of one of the two cabinets for one of the patch bays in the drama theatre. 360 5kW patch leads across two sides and 135 doubled 5kW dimmer/relay channel outlets (themselves being terminated inside their own cabinet into more multicore runs to a dimmer room 40m away).
