Re: (ET) Curtis or any generic controller setup - Finally.‏

Nice video!  Thanks for sharing.  I'll be interested in how that
battery pack works out, since I see a lot of those batteries at work.

If I was rebuilding a trashed machine I'd definitely use a modern
controller.  However, I have a working contactor-based system, which
has lasted 40 years, so I'm not in a hurry to replace it with
something that may or may not have a significantly shorter lifespan.
