Thank you . I believe that might be the Remote System from PV Electronics - 
I have used that elsewhere but for this I wanted to make a compact unit 
with all the WiFi, Web Gui, underlighting and other features from the Open 
Source 'Prism' design by Ian Sparkes. 

I am pleased with the result, yesterday I made a simple acrylic case for it 
- because it is going to take me an age to get anything more interesting 
together - I'll post a picture of it when completed - an injustice the the 
tubes I know - but better than a bare board sat on my shelf ticking away!

I have a couple of PV Remote Systems lined up to populate old Australian 
Valve Tested units that I acquired  - yet another project waiting in the 
wings!

What issues did you have with the main board for the Remote System? I had a 
couple of the early ones and had to replace the LM2596-5 on both boards. 
Apart from that - rock solid.

- Richard
