Does anyone know the signal that goes from the radio to the clock display on the older Philips devices ?
3 wires are used, is it 5v binary ?
Have a load of display units that I want to test.

If it's only got a couple of wires for the data, then it's likely serial data, although what each data packet contains is anybodies guess, it's likely proprietary though.

OK, 3 wires appear to be for the data. The rest are power, back light, ground etc....
ably easier to find an old 770 Radio and lash them up!

Definitely.
I've got one somewhere I think, although I've no idea where at the moment.
