27 MHz Trackside TE's Anywhere

Last time I was in Malden, MA they had several 27 mhz newer (on-off) units on the shelf.

There are 5 versions of the 27 mhz transmitters that I know of.

older 2 track version.

10 chanel 10 frequency units as follows:
original where the forward and reverse buttons are real
updated version where the forward or reverse just reverses direction. This was done due to George S request
updated updated where forward is forward and reverse just does a direction change This was done as some did not like George S new request.
newest version computerized with on-off button.

Thanks for that list. I just wish there was some way to tell the different 10 Ch. versions apart. The first three look identical, if I’m not mistaken. I’d prefer the original 10 Ch. but chances are good they are long gone.

Does anyone know if these version changes with respect to how direction control is handled, are in the TX or the RX piece? I would assume the RX, but one never knows.

I’ll give Charlie a call and see if he still has any. Last I checked. Ridge Road has TX hand pieces, but no RX units.
