Can't see any picture without selling my soul to the Zuckerberg Imperium.

Cheers,

It could be for various things, including one of their amplifiers or calculators...

I'd say it was pre-zx80. Not z88 etc.

It looks identical to the PSU I had for my sinclair calculator back in the day.

Here's a scan of a picture of a Sinclair calculator PSU on the box of my old Sinclair Oxford 300 calculator from the 1970s (sold the calculator itself to a collector years ago, found the box more recently if any collector wants it).

Unfortunately the original photo is not clear enough to read the label, any more than this scan.

The white PSU in your picture bears the logo of Sinclair Radionics Ltd, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, so would have been from something in that 'Radionics' era, i.e. from 1961 up to pre Sinclair Research (when the National Enterprise Board sold their stake-holding in Sinclair Radionics to a company in Bristol in 1979). Sinclair Radionics developed hi-fi products, radios, calculators and scientific instruments among other things, so the PSU could probably have been anything in that era.

Enrico Tedeschi has a good website which includes details of just about everything Sinclair, you might strike lucky and find a picture to match it there at http://s206301103.websitehome.co.uk/sinclair/index.htm
