What is your goal?
Basically the box was originally a an X - Y display device driven by the DNS receivers. The signals are gone and the receivers are complex. The roll map for one axis suggests it was for a fixed route longer than wide that would fit on the rectangle of the map. So there are at least 3 possible goals: An item on display, part of a DNS simulator or driving the map and pointer for a new application from a mpu / computer.
Obviously it will have a motor system to move the map and one for the pointer, with feedback of current position on both. An X-Y plotter often uses dead reckoning (typically stepper motor drive with X & Y end stop sensors). This application can't be rewinding the map, so that axis certainly needs a continuous sensor.
