CITV presentation from 1986 to 1988 features images of electronic circuit boards. Does anybody know what type of machinery they are out of?

I think it is a Mini-Trelm Green-Key 80 or possibly a Bournemouth machine

(bit of old telly circuit board I think)

I have wondered whether they were out of a piece of broadcasting equipment rather than a consumer product back when they were still being aired on CITV. The construction appears very primitive with no surface mount components.
