How much will it coast to put the controls in it?

I like that style door and had planned to get a bid in but computer issues knocked me off line at lunch. I thought it was a fair price for empty.

Could you send me the pic.

It's a cool box but it sounds like it is empty. It's a keeper though.

Well if your looking for an actual controller to run a full intersection you need something a little different than that. This is a flasher box, it is designed to house the flasher mechanism for running flashing single section beacons. You could go the route people are saying and put a lights to go controller board or similar in it, but thats not how it is used on the street. However....it is low cost (roughly $50) and makes use of the cabinet. Or save up a bit and see about getting the proper equipment to install in it if you want to be more adventurous

Re-visiting this thread with an update. I made a trade and the cabinet is now in my posession. It will get my make it better treatment. I don't like holes in the tops of cabinets so I'll plug it with a treaded aluminum plug. There is also a hole in the back that is too close to the panel stand-off to be useful, another plug job.

The cabinet does have an EA key which is smaller than the standard cabinet skeleton key.

Haven't decided it's future yet. I have a couple emply flasher cabinets that I'm thinking about building some flasher/panel/guts thingies but am in need of parts.

Good deal Joe!!!

You got the cabinet that you wanted, and it sounds like Carl may actually have his first controller. :thumbsup:
