[time-nuts] Re: Neon clock from factory at Motorola years ago

Oops,  The connector is a AMP Universal Mate-N-Lock connector.  The "Universal" Mate-N-Lock has the tabs on the side for strain relief.  The original Mate-N-Lock did not have the strain relief.

Subject: [time-nuts] Neon clock from factory at Motorola years ago

So I've got this clock that has white neon around the face.  It has separate 110V plug for the neon but in the factory it was controlled.
Attached are some pictures of it.  I'm looking to get it going again.  It's about 2 feet in diameter and they were in multiple factories.

The brand is Lumichron.  See the pics.  The control is two wires.  I'm thinking 12V with a coded signal but I'm not sure?

Anyone recognize the connector and how you control/power these?

It's white neon around the face.  I'll post more pictures of the front later.  This is the timing connector.  The other white cable just powers the neon.
