what to do with vintage controllers?

[btaylor]

Over the years, I have amassed quite a few vintage controllers. Most of them came with odd lots I bought at different places. Problem is, no matter how nice they are, I knew I wouldn't use them. I'm sure they would sell on an auction site, but I doubt they are worth much. So, I decided to put them on display, to represent the changes slot tracks have went through over the years. I started with a simple leftover 1x4, and drilled holes in the bottom for the cut off wires to poke into. I then hot glued the controllers to the board, and gave each wire a dab of hot glue as well. It makes a great conversation piece in the slot room, and didn't cost hardly anything at all. I have a bunch more, but I didn't want the board to be to long. Here is picture of the finished product.

Hey, you have slot car decorating under control!

Thank you! I’ll be here all week! Try the veal!

It is a very cool idea Bob, well done.

Had to pull the trigger on that one I guess...

The guys I race with would pull those down and plug them in.

Very cool display.

Got me reminiscing about plunger thumb
