Anyone Collect Antique Brake Controllers?

Hi

Just going through all the neat stuff we found in the cupboards and came across this Kelsey Brake Controller.

It is from 1974 - 30 years old - looks like all the info and parts are there.

If anyone is interested please PM me - rather it go to someone from this forum than just out in a YS in the summer.

GOOD LUCK!

I tried to give mine away in September. For postage. No takers.

you may want to keep it!

they are one of the best units made because they use the actual brake line pressure to trigger the trailer brakes.

I agree. But they aren't recommended with those new-fangled ABS brake systems.

I sent you a PM two hours ago that I'll take the Kelsey brake controller. It will fit my 1968 tow vehicle. Please PM me back about cost, postage, etc. Thanks!
