CLEAR Fisher Pierce Photocell from 1968 Look at that beauty! It is for display only though since the contacts arc (the load dims and flickers before the PC opens the circuit, which is bad for an HID load and makes a terrible noise). I find a lot of Fisher Pierces end up failing that way. Ripleys just have bad eyes that i replace with ease but Fisher Pierces tend to have contacts that arc. anyway, this PC is so cool it's totally worth having just for display! Look at how new it looks!

Thanks! Same age as my Westinghouse RMA and this could probably pass as an original for my M-250A, which is a year older than this.

Very nice! I think they look cooler with the sealed eye. Not to mention last much longer. Any pc I've ever pulled from service w/ sealed eye still works great, even if the housing has 1000 cracks. Lol

Yeah this works but the contacts arc (worn contacts or weak relay perhaps?). The sealed eyes are definitely the best. Smile
