[Coco] Color Computer "Appliance and Light Controller"

[smostrom at mn.rr.com]

Bruce, I've been collecting some of these from eBay auctions over the past two years.  So far I have 1 Plug N Power Controller (26-1182), 7 Appliance and Light Controller Modules (26-3142), 2 Universal Appliance Modules (61-2684A), and 1 Remote Control Center (61-2680).  I've been hoping to figure out a good use for these.  If you have a plan or some practical ideas you could pass on to me, please let me know.  Thanks!
