I have a friend who is interested in buying a Thirs Eye controller but it seems like they are not available. Anyone know if Howard is still making them?
Third Eye still in business?

Howard is still making controllers... I spoke to him about two weeks ago.
He had a health scare, but is getting better. He is making controllers and they should be ready soon.

Just FYI, I have two Third Eye controllers. One is a FET1, can't recall the other, I think is a Predator 2. Both available.

If you need a scorecard....
Fetroller.1
Replaced broken handle with JK handle.
Predator 2 3000MP "Gawronski Edition"
Both work. Switches, knobs, meters have all been track tested and make differences.
No clue about the dip switches and buttons. The buttons don't APPEAR to do anything.

I had read on another forum that Howard has recently passed. Can anyone confirm this?
That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

I have been told by many slot car bussinesses that he has passed. Condolences to his family.
