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.
