Hi,

The device was likely electromechanical. A 48 volt solenoid stepped a rotating wheel 1/10 revolution per stroke. The counter could have had 4 to five decades for the total count. These were common in the 50's and 60's. The high voltage seems to demonstrate a need for a lot of power to make the mechanism work.

There are easier ways to count events. Unless you absolutely have to have it for an historically accurate restoration, look for modern non-mechanical event counters. Otherwise, you may have to invent a time machine to get a replacement.
