Unidentified device next to 13A sockets

Harry Macdonald

I have been investigating a church organ that suddenly stopped working. This was rebuilt about 20 years ago using a data cable between the keyboard and the pipe section.

I have found two 13A sockets unused which are live and, just above them, two more which are not. All the electronic equipment is plugged in into the two which are not. Between the two is a box with the device small device in it

Can anyone identify it and advise its purpose. I am thinking some sort of surge protection but cannot identify any similar photos on google of find any identifying marks.

I'll post a photo when I can find out how. Copy/paste, drag n drop and insert don't work. It seems to want a URL but my photos don't have URLs.

    I am now mighty puzzled.

    The unit looks very likely to be an SSR, as you say. It is controlled by a cable coming out of the main box of electronics which is plugged in into the socket that is controlled by the SSR, so I don't see how it can ever have worked - but it did for 15 years.

    Well, something has changed between it working and now not working... Any chance that something else (perhaps with a very similar looking plug & flex) was plugged into that socket originally and this one was actually plugged in somewhere else?
