Advice Needed Chaparral Twister

[Satfaca]

Hi satdudes, does anyone have a clue what Chaparral Twister would be and what it's been used for?! I've never heard of it before.

Converts the pulse polariser output from an RX or controller to DC current feed for a magnetic polariser. I think that's the right way round.

I have that in my old stuff, it appeared when we found magnetic polarizers on sale.

So this must be from the 80's then...

I knew I remembered seeing one. Here it is with a couple of polarisers, it takes its power from the 5V servo feed. I think I had a different brand interface as well but it might be very deep in the crap.

This one was probably from 1987/8.

That's the Twister Interface I had packaged with my SMW polar mount bought in the early 90's. Two actually, no use to me and not asked for at the time. 'Forgot' to mention it to the shop when I discovered them, and never had any callback.

Well my system dates back to 1991 and was running a Chaparral Corotor in those days .Still have a Corotor in place I think this one must be my third one .
