Bang & Olufsen Synchrobox
The Synchrobox was used to operate slide projectors without lifting a finger! The idea was that with a suitable reel-to-reel tape recorder - like the Beocord 2000 de luxe - you could control your slides to change automatically. Through the tape recorder you could have a soundtrack recorded on one track and a control signal on another track to operate the changing of your photographic slides.
For all purposes where you wish to impulse control an instrument via a sound tape, and will be appreciated especially for automatic changing of slide-shows with synchronous accompaniment by music and speech. Easily operated by a touch button" - taken from the 1967 - 1968 Bang & Olufsen product catalogue
Two metal DIN cables lead off from the right-hand side of the unit: one 6-pin and another 5-pin. There is also a 'pulse length' dial on the reverse of the silver-coloured metal unit.
