...one in an ongoing series of items grabbed from the Free Table at VCFWest this year...
Between about 1984 and 1986, Kensington marketed a line of "Maccessories" designed for the 128K, 512K, and Plus.
Included in this line was the "Surge Suppressor", which was color-matched to early Macs (and the Lisa).
Mine has seen better days:
Advertisements showed this mounted on the back of a Mac, which if it were possible, must have involved some kind of sticky tape long gone from my unit:
The OEM appears to be DialCo, and the device itself is described as a "cord-connected filter":
Opening it up, I think I see why this device was on the Free Table:
After re-soldering that coil, I wonder if there's any other preventative maintenance I should do? Here are some shots of the components on the board:
