This is a follow up to my post on the Alco MSM-5a from about a month ago. This is an unexceptional mosaic readout display but the major differences, that I can tell, between this and the 5A is that this one is a little bit smaller, it cannot be easily disassembled and it includes a red filter to color the display. These were purchased from Surplus Shed for $2.50/each.

Those are pics that a guy I know found, but he couldn’t get anymore details. Any ideas where I should look. THe maker is Stanley, and they are from before 1985.
I can’t say I’ve seen those exact ones before. Check out http://surplusshed.com/ – they might be able to identify them. They do look similar to the above device but I’ve done some looking and I’m not able to identify any sources for :-/
