I had one many years ago- probably 20+ still in its "weather-proof"
housing, a haze-grey, oval-shaped assembly with a conduit connector in 
the rear, mounted on a rectangular plate.  You lifted cover to use it. 
Had a nomenclature plate that identified it as part of a flashing-light 
signalling system.  I looked for photos I know I took but can't find 
them.  Donated it to a ship but can't now remember which one.  I *think* 
it was while I was living in Austin, so it was probably the U.S.S. 
Texas, but I can't now remember.

Found a similar one on Ebay.  Terrible shape and not the same key, but 
same concept.  Mine had the oval cover with a rectangular plate with the 
"side tone" light and the Bendix key with the 2-minute warning, no 
"bucket" under it, which would be needed because of the red light. A 
conduit hole out the back of the oval.
