Holy Shitballs, eBays picked up a bit for me at least 
A quick trip in London N1 today netted me this lovely piece of gear for less than £10, shown here just before I ripped the guts out to perform on it. I know have 4 of these puppies, 3 fully working and this one needing some TLC, bonus points to anyone can tell what it is?
There's more to this than you can see here, there's a further 8 boards below these 
Based upon the RCA jacks on the far right and the heat sink on the bottom it has to be some sort of receiver/amp.
What's my prize? 
What is this thing called prize? Oh OK, your prize is the satisfaction of knowing that you was correct
It is actually a TEAC CR-H250 that was listed as dead and the seller said that it just died one day but that the DAB section was working prior to it refusing to switch on. I have 2 TEAC units that are complete apart from the DAB modules, 1 was a CR-H240 and the other is T-H300DABmkII so I took a chance and made an offer on it., took the module out and it was working, put it into a H250, repaired the T-H300 so it now works on FM and AM only.
It seems that the module is a weak link in the system and I keep looking out for replacement modules in other broken gear that I end repairing so its a never ending circle.
If only I can find a couple of units that are so FUBAR but with usable DAB modules, I could break the cycle then
EDIT:
On the plus side however, the profits from the eventual resale funds more TEA so it's a means to an end so thats what really counts
