I just bought an NIB Equalizer off eBay to convert a Proto-1 engine to TMCC, but it's missing the instructions. Can anybody post or e-mail me an instruction sheet? E-mail address is in my "extended profile" - click on my name at upper left, then click on extended profile at lower right. Thanks.

Southwest Hiawatha-
I was looking for another manual in my workbench and came across a hard copy of "The Equalizer Instruction Manual" that I had printed off many years ago and I remember seeing your post the other day.
NOTE: It appears that all the pages are there but not in order, it looks like it was print to be bound into a book format. It may be easier to print a copy off, cut the pages in half and put them order.
I converted a PS1 with the Equalizer some time ago - The only issue I ran into was a flakey R2LC Module that temperature sensitive. Worked great for the first 5 minutes or so but when it warmed up, it would not accept command properly, once I swapped this out it, it resolved the problem. It was a great product.
Hope this helps

Thanks Brad. I've downloaded the PDF. Next step is to make sure the kit is complete and take a good look at the engine I plan to convert.
The Equalizer looks like it was a very cool kit, too bad it was pulled from the market. I have to believe they were chased off by MTH lawyers...
Bummer, that looked like a great kit from the descriptions.
I installed one in a PS-1 F-3 and it worked great, until I installed a PS-2 conversion kit from MTH. I also put one of their AC/DC DLX kits in a set of AC powered Lionel F-3's and they still work like a charm.
Too bad Digital Dynamics is no more.

Z1, was it a ABA set of F3s or just the powered unit?
Thanks,

I installed it in the powered A unit, and put the speaker in the B unit with a small 2 wire male/female connector between the units. A cardboard tube was used to hold the speaker to help improve the sound.
I can also turn on the original Railsounds on the rear facing A unit if I want.
I installed one in an MTH Alco DL-109 with PS1. I liked it, but there was just a slight delay between pressing the control button and the response. I was hoping the next gen boards would come out, but never did.
I converted most of my PS1 products with DD TMCC boards after the Equalizer became unavailable. I liked their products.
