For Sale Code 3 ArrowStik 6-LED control box

[TXDPSCJ]

I have (1) Code 3 ArrowStik 6-LED Controller. I had purchased this for my restoration before finding a complete ArrowStik with its own controller.

I do not have a need for this extra unit.

This was used to control the Code 3 ArrowStik amber light bar - usually referred to as the "Traffic Commander".

NOTES:

- This unit is used. Please review all pics for condition.

- The exterior of box shows wear, but these are easy to restore - repaint, etc.

- I do not have any manuals or operating guides (however wiring diagram is on bottom of unit). I do not have any additional wiring (this would come from the ArrowStik to the back of the controller). No mounting hardware or brackets.

- It will need the green "L" plug that plugs into the back, these are on eBay for $12 or less depending on who's selling it:

These Code 3 boxes are very hard to find in the (6) LED configuration, the units with (8) LEDs seem to be more common.

$70.00 Shipped to the US 48, insured and with tracking number.

This is one of the very oldest ArrowStik controllers. Potential buyers should know that this ArrowStik controller uses positive side switching, whereas the newer ArrowStik controllers all use ground side switching.

Also the green plug is a,

7 Pin - 5.08mm / Terminal Block Connector - Phoenix Plug​

I recently bought one of these controllers and had quite the time tracking down the actual name/size of the connector.

You're right. The common name around here for that connector is simply the green plug.

Thank you very much @shues and @Master X for the additional info to help a potential buyer with their decision. The box does have an August 1993 date on the bottom of it as seen in the image.

I do have question about the positive vs ground switch change. Do either of you know the approximate date range of when that changed?

Was the positive side switching still applicable to all boxes that physically looked like the above controller?

Or did the change apply after that style of controller?

I can't say for sure, from what I gather late 80s early 90s. Any collector or buyer who is experienced should know what to do if you clearly state the controller is Positive switched.
