[TowerTalk] TIC Rotor Controller

I recently sold seven TIC ring rotators that I owned for 30-40 years.  All
came with the digital controller shown in your photo where you set the
direction and press start.  I know at least some of my manuals showed the
controller that your manual has a photo of but I have never seen a
controller that looked like that.  It really shouldn't matter as long as it
supplies 24v for the motor and indicates the direction from the 500 ohm
potentiometer.

FWIW, I quit using the TIC controllers 20 years ago and used Green Heron
RT-21's.

My controllers say the model number is 2020.
They look nothing like the 2020 pictured in the manual I can find online.

They do look like a digital readout version of a 2100.
See photos at the following link:

Does anyone know what the deal is here?
I know that reverse engineering anything TIC related requires some mental
gymnastics, but these units look nothing alike!
