What is this?

 ( One point for every component individually correctly identified! )

T888:
Bobs board speed controller  {-) {-)

mrlownotes:
Definitely a Bob's board.
Archaic speed controller.
A resistance track for mounting on top of a servo.
Looks like the track wipers give approximately 7 levels of track resistance (forward and reverse) to maximum voltage.
I don't see much wear on the tracks.
I remember, as a boy, wishing to be able to afford radio control to be able to use a Bob's Board.

chas:
Thats the remote version of a Bobs board, not the usual servo top model. Its missing two screws which makes it unsafe. I think that's the five amp version, proper matching to the motor was important for them to work well.

dougal99:
Who's bob? And why have you got his board?
Is the touch pad relevant? A late mod maybe?
