My 4th electromechanical controller will be a Marbelite. Can't wait for it to get here! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0268079244

Congrats! I was wondering who snagged that. I don't understand eBay's reasoning behind hiding the winning bidder's identity now.. :roll:

Oh,that was you who won it! Looks like a great controller! Way to go, Jerry! Image
A cop pulled me over and said, "Papers..." So I replied, "Scissors! I win!" and drove off.

What a great acquisition!

That's very interesting to see that Marblelight went through the trouble to manufacture the inner controller boxes in a non-square shape to fit the older cabinets with the round tops.

After having to fix a corner of the back panel that was broken off in shipping (UPS strikes again :banghead: ) and fixing a corner of bakelite on the controller itself that was also broken thanks to UPS :banghead: :banghead: , AND figuring out why the whole shabang was stopping and starting all by itself....loose fuse in one of the fuse holders.... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: I finally got my Marbelite M20 up and running. :clapping: No signals hooked up to it yet, but I got pics and video up on my website. http://home.comcast.net/~jab8356/m20.htm

Congrats on the new controller Jerry! Yeah, I just got another EMC a few months ago myself. An Econo Type F. I used R&L Carriers. Great rates, and usually more careful than the other two guys, UPS and FED EX.

But in this case, as with you, the controller arrived with one of the bakelite timers busted all to hell! And the entire timer tray dislodged from the mount. I got it all woking again though, and am very happy with it. It has been running my Kentron and LED ICC Ped two way set up continuously for the past 3 or 4 months.

I love your new controller, so simple and to the point, and just well designed and thought out.
