Oh god there is even a bug under that transistor...
Sorry, I did not noticed that before.

That's a real bug here, hopefully not a show stopper one.

My guess:
A controller for fancy lights in for example a christmas decoration.
With the 'pattern' button you could make the lights blink in various ways.

Ahh. Nice work. I was thinking LED controller but why would you need a transformer to step up the voltage, why would you ever want to disconnect it from the LEDs and why are there so many wires. An EL panel shirt would need all of that.
