Can anyone help me to find out who made this automation unit. I can not find any names on it at all.

Raven Laboratories. They now have a different name which I can't recall.

I remembered the name, its EDLO. These use a unijunction as the C/O timer which can give problems. They also often used plug-in relays by gluing their covers into the box and soldering to the pins. They used many different types of relays, switches, etc, almost as though they got their parts from a surplus shop.

Ah Raven with the "kill" switch. They had a gold color wall mount model with a chassis box so flimsy that you spent 1/2 of your service call bending the box square enough to close it after the repair

It looks like it is a later version of the "Mini-Pec" we have at the Skyline drive-in. Definitely a Raven Labs product.
