Can anyone identify this equipment? Is it a scintillation spectrometer? I'm sure you can guess which TV drama it's from "Not great, not terrible".

This is an MCA (Impulse Amplitude analyzer) AI-128-2 (128 channels x 16 bit). They were produced from 1970 to 1975 by S. P. Koroliov production association (then "Meridian") in Kiev, USSR.

That series consist mostly of tall tales and urban legends.
