Now I got a pair of ICs which I cannot identify nor did I find anything on
the net. They're from General Instrument, thats for shure. And they fit
their particular nomenclature like the infamous AY-3-8500 pong or AY-3-8910
sound chips.
But these are AY-5-9500 and AY-5-9118 respectively. Any ideas out there ?

Not sure what the 9118 is but maybe it's not really a GI chip ??


Found this though...

AY-5-9500
C-MOS Clock Generator
FEATURES

PIN CONFIGURATION 14 LEAD DUAL IN LINE
Top View
DESCRIPTION
The AY-5-9500 is a C-MOS circuit designed to generate the 2 phase
clock required by the AY-5-9100 series of Push Button Telephone
Dia"ers and the AY-5-9200 Repertory Dia"er circuit. It consists of an
RC OSCillator, a level shifter, a 2 phase clock generator and driver,
and a clocked D-type bistable. The RC oscillator is set by external
components to run at 36kHz and is normally operated from a -4 Volt
supply to minimize power consumption. The oscillator output is shifted
and used to drive the 2 phase clock generator. The D-type bistable is
either used as a Reset generator for the AY-5-9100 or AY-5-9200 or it
is used to drive a Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier to generate the
nominal 15 Volt supply for the AY-5-9100 and AY-5-9200.

Sorry for late reply, but thanks.
Now this is a surprise, don't remember how this ended up in my grab bag ...
