My Brother had this item and unfortunately for him, he cannot remember what it was for. As i recall, it was given to him with his Eumig 940 multiprocessor projector some years ago.
The projector was sold to us by a so called friend. When we got it we could see it had obviously had some butchered work done on the slider switched as well as a few other problems.
He gave us this item and a few others as a way of an apology.
