I have no idea. I assumed he was cut because he didn't show up here often. He did have some interesting posts when he did pop in here.

That is awesome Nick! If things do pull through you will without a doubt have the most technologically advanced controller of any collector. Good luck and keep us posted! :thumbsup:

Our controllers are made in Mexico at our own (very nice) facility, nothing in China.

Controllers are not meant to be face dropped... they are meant to live their lives on a shelf in a somewhat climate regulated environment. No matter where they were made, that thing shows it was abused.

Park a 2013 Chevy Cruze (Ohio-built) and a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta (Hecho-en-México) on the Amtrak tracks and let me know which one comes out better...

If you don't get the metaphor, like Matt said, they're not meant to be dropped to the concrete roadbed or to the floor in the shop.
