Hello everyone!

My name is Andrew and I'm living in St. John's, NL up here in Canada. I'm currently working in the Engineering department of a local TV/Radio station and have always loved traffic systems; still waiting for some of the local signals to be converted from 2 phase pretimed, they really suck in high traffic!

Here is my current small collection:

1. Eagle Ped signal, found at the local flea market. I have the two prong cords rigged up to a homemade duplex outlet harness on my controller (see below).

2. Naztec MicroCab 682, a combined controller, conflict monitor, flasher and load switches all in one :) (Data sheet: http://www2.naztec.com/sites/default/files/documents/products/pdfs/microcab_ac.pdf Manual: http://www2.naztec.com/sites/default/files/documents/manuals/MC682manual.pdf)

As a side note, I know a fair amount about broadcast devices and electronics so feel free to ask!

Hello Andrew, and Welcome. Glad to see you posted in the Welcome Wagon. :thumbsup:

We have a few others here from Canada.
Communication devises. Very interesting. I'll have to keep you in mind if I run across anything.
Thanks for sharing your pictures with us. :thumbsup:

Welcome Andrew. I'm from the other side of the continent, Tacoma WA. I have a couple of the all-in-one controllers as well. Minnesota Microtronics Model 115

Eagle EF-120

The Eagle is slick with replaceable load switches. It's a direct replacement for the EF-20 electro-mechanical controller.

One of my franken-controller ideas is to mount a bunch of cubes in an LMD 8000 controller to get 120VAC outputs. Won't have a monitor built in, but if everything is working, who needs one.
