Looks like the control console for a 1970's era transmission electron microscope. The microscope part itself would be a (generally) cylindrical stainless steel column capable of holding a hard vacuum.

Thanks, I thought it was something like that. It is unbelievable what one can find on the local classifieds :D
Looks great, if I had space, maybe I'd get it, just to fiddle with the buttons. Or maybe make a synthesizer inside :D

Those things were built like tanks. If it has the microscope component, you may be able to get it up and running. They were entirely electo-mechanical; no computer interface needed!
