Thanks for posting the pics. It's amazing how much manual work was involved in building older equipment, such as this unit. Even the PCBs have additional manual wiring.
I was curious about the innards, particularly about what would be salvageable if you decide to make a clock out of it. As much as I hate to destroy another person's work, it's usually easier to do a new design than it is to reverse-engineer an existing one, especially if you dont have a full set of schematics and datasheets for obsolete parts. Another option might be making your own plug-in cards, but that would depend upon how the existing chassis is wired and the condition of the wires themselves. Some insulation materials become very brittle over time (either because of heat-exposure, or because the chemical composition is inferior), and you have to replace the wire. I've even seen hard-plastic items like edge-card connectors get brittle over time and break when the card is removed and re-inserted. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
