Final clue.... :)



Diagram top left and middle left make me think it's something to do with a laserdisc.

Perhaps your object is a laser-disc alignment/test disc?


RossW is definitely on the right track.....sorry boB, no train station. However, Morse Code is involved. It's minor, but a part of the puzzle.... ;D

Directional beacon? (Or perhaps, glideslope indicator)?

The waveforms at top-right would indicate a "on the beam", "left/low" or "right/high" type response?

It's the record that was sent on the Voyager spacecraft !

I seem to remember that it was used maybe as a legend to help decode the other things ?

The "Golden record"...  That's what they call it.

These images showed the "aliens" how to play the record and the video I think.

Glad I'm  not the alien that had to decode it !

Voyager 1 launched Sep 6th 1977. Entered Interstellar space back in 2012 and is still sending data to the DSN, Deep Space Network. This link here has kool interactive access to the pictures and recordings from the golden disc. Just move the mouser around and start clicking on areas that light up. :)

A piece of Gallium Arsenide crystal before being sliced and fashioned into a "space grade" solar panel.  (I have no idea in reality)
