Twins... on the outside.
and on the inside... TOTALLY different! These are from Bob Arenella (thanks Bob!) and are from 1991 (different months). One is a relay type PC and the other is a SUPER simple thermal one it seems. you can see the label afixed to the outside. These didn't yellow or show signs of aging since they used a dfferent kind of plastic that's more flexible. I guess around 1990 Ripley switched from their low quality hard brittle plastic to a more robust flexible plastic that didn't age as badly. the gaskets were ripped off on these two.

Hmm, are the model numbers the same. I would assume the thermal ones are cheaper since that's what the yardlights come with now.

no the model numbers are different. the months are different too but the year is the same, so they have the same cover.
