[time-nuts] TrueTime 820-350 display

I believe there were variations of IRIG which sent the signal (un-modulated
or DC code) over a differential circuit, so Triax may have been used.

Yes that was the way they used to send differential data most likely a
timecode signal, but also most likely not IRIG it would not have ever needed
a triax feed. Triax was quite expensive and fell out of favor about 1985.
How many of these things do you have??
Many of the old true-times like the dc goes 468 are simply nice cases with a
display. Virtually every other bit of the insides is useless. I do use the
cases for projects and typically pick them up at hamfests for $5. Great
1 rack unit case. Plus I do like the old displays. :-) Anyhow if you do run
across a True-time DC-60. Keep me in mind. Now that they no longer work with
WWVB I want to pick one up to experiment with.
Regards
Paul.
