Nope. That is not a path which I choose to go down. Not because if I had the information I wouldn't share it, but because I've no desire to build a BTTF replica. Ergo I've no desire to solve that mystery. It doesn't interest me to really search for more than what I've already shared.

But I have left a lead. Because as it turns out, just as Google can search for pages and archives for meta data, someone has brought William Gibson's book Pattern Recognition to life to generate the same sort of data for image searches (hint: that's not a heat sink wrapped around the device, it's a stock vibration isolator)... And with that URL, I know a bit of that guy's backstory in radio communications, and feel that he'd be one of the best chances you'd have in tracking down such equipment.

Best of luck!
