They now have a different name which I can't recall.  |  IP: Logged Larry Shaw Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Boston, MA, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-26-2002 03:36 PM                        I remembered the name, its EDLO. These use a unijunction as the C/O timer which can give problems. They also often used plug-in relays by gluing their covers into the box and soldering to the pins. They used many different types of relays, switches, etc, almost as though they got their parts from a surplus shop.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.
