Control/Dimming Vintage Equipment, Could this be for 0-10v dimmer control?

Wondering based on the connections on the rear if this is likely meant as part of a 0-10v dimmer scheme?

Most ETA stuff was.
Agreed, especially in this case with those circular/DIN connectors.

But! it may be worth mentioning that later packs used DMX512 as well as their own digital protocol, Ultraplex, limited to 32 channels per stream.
I need to replace 2 ETA dimmer packs that have died in the last 6 months or so. These are packs from the mid 1990s with both DMX and their protocol for control. The packs themselves have SSRI control and adequate chokes.

ETA (of Twinsburg, OH) in its time, was a very good 2nd tier manufacturer (think lightronics or CAE/Leprecon), and their equipment lives on and on. They got out of the dimmer business entirely in the 1990s and today only make power-conditioning equipment. A search yields lots of information on here.

Thanks for your insight and expertise, helping me get up to speed!
