According to the label on the back this was manufactured in Australia by a company called Electronic Control Systems which was based out of Sydney. Another label on the keyboard says: EPS-71.

Hugh was unable to determine a manufacturing date but he would guess sometime in the 1980s.

"Michael Roberts had founded Sydney-based Time Office Computers, originally called Electronic Control Systems, in the 1970s, intending to develop and market small computer terminals."
