I'm a fan of intermatic and area lighting research. I had an interesting intermatic that wasn't thermal or electrical. It had a magnetic relay instead of a thermal relay and an extra eesistor and cap in addition to the magnetic relay and photoresistor.
I, too, like Area Lighting Research from the 1990s. I have a 2160 NPS, 2160 NP3 both from 1997, and I have a BF-120 from 1998, and a 2160 VP3 from 1998. The only Intermatic I have is a LC4536C 120-277V (The 90s style with the blue band around it).
I have a 1997 DTL D120-1.5-1266, A 1988, 1989, and 1991 Fisher Pierce 6660-SSS, and 5 6662-ESS from 1985 All NOS.
Sunswitch - 1990, and 1992 6146-TDM and 1994 6146-MCE, the 1990 is heavily worn, but the 1992 is used, but excellent condition. The 1994 is NOS never been used.
Among several others, I also have a 1996 LAMPAS 6120-TDM (Formerly a division of Precision Multiple Controls). One of my rarer controls, as I have never really heard of LAMPAS, and when I do google them, not much comes up.
Has anybody else ever heard of LAMPAS?
