The Star Trek thing was the first thing that popped into my mind :) https://poal.co/s/StarTrek/626538
Looking at this work of art, I kind of doubt the 'home made' aspect a tiny bit. Much of it was probably made on company 'spare time'.
This is the way.

Back in the '80s a relative by marriage working in the Pulp and Paper industry quit his job to make equipment control panels/boxes full time for the Pulp and Paper industry. Lots of switches, gauges, components and wire. This reminds me of some of his work. He was building stuff for production as well as their research lab.

It has something to do with adjusting the relationship between phases on a three-phase power system, but I'm not exactly sure. It's a very specialized piece of equipment that the owner built for a particular reason - but that reason is lost to time.

It looks so cool. I hope some day you find someone who can tell you exactly how it works.
