Information on Roanoake (sp?) soundcard

[PhilP]

All I have been given a boxcar, containing a Roanoake soundcard, a nasty selection of other bits, hall effect sensor, possibly an amplifier, definitely a home-brew power supply..

Initially, looking for information on the soundcard. - I have not found anything of note on these yet.

I will post pictures, if people think it will help?

Well, I take it that nothing has surfaced, although somehow the name sounds familiar................

Maybe thinking of Roanoke home of good old Norfolk and Western, the Virginian and finally Norfolk Southern railways?
Basis for my old HO American outline layout.

There was a Roanoake universal track-side effects box for sale on EvilBay, a short while back..
There are a couple of possible candidates for the original supplier, but there are other firms in the area who deal with electronics..

I will post some pictures.. Looks to be an odd circuit board has been used to cobble some of it together.. There is a 9V battery connector, as well as pickup from the track..
Owner had 'a wire come off', so stuck it where they thought it might go!

Roanoake were a USA Manufacturer back in the 80's I remember fitting a few for customers. I think, if I'm remembering correctly the board had a distinct homemade look about them?
