I'm curious about this device - can any owner or former kindly explain what it does? You can see one here:

It has a VU meter, perhaps it was used to help with recording levels. It seems unlikely to assist in playback.

Hi, Mr. Leakey. I tried sending you a couple of PM's ... Someone is trying to reach you. See you haven't read the PM's and sorry for putting this here, hoping you read this.

It appears to be a simple line-level amplifier with an adjustable level and some sort of high or low filtering. Could be quite useful if made well. Did you win it, Adrian?

I didn't win it. I would have been curious to try it out but I found the leads a bit baffling and that would have caused extra effort - a 5 pin din and phono plugs are not what I'm used to in relation to projectors and speakers, but perhaps people with different equipment would find them more convenient.
