Does anyone recognize this control panel?

From the ILDA list:

Austin Wallas has an old Laser Systems controller and was wondering if anyone had information on it. If so, please write to him directly at procraftdjservices@hotmail.com.

I've recently found a 1980's retro laser controller in my loft. It is not something that I've seen before and I was hoping you could maybe identify it.
Its a Laser Systems Cyclops controller. I'm not an expert but I'm convinced its the early days of ILDA technology.
If you have any answers I'd appreciate your feedback.

Anyone ever seen one of these before?

Are you sure that's not an early version of Golden Tee?

The bottom part of the board looks like the Laser Systems Line Scanner controller. They were a glass HeNe tube in a box with a fixed Y servo that moved the X servo which had the mirror mounted on it.
The coffin shaped keys triggered different cues.
They were very lo -res but a rig of 8 looked good coming off a DJ booth.
The top half looks like the "programming wing" for the 360 deg mirror in a dome that you scanned onto with your Merlin controller.

Thanks for the input! I'll pass your comments along to Austin.

Supposedly this is a Great Britain made scanner galvo. The owner of the galvo said it is a 34kpps system.
Anyone recognize?

Laser systems are a welsh laser company thats lost in time,even possibly defunct.I owned a Magnum and a set of line scanners once,never got on with either.
