I had one a few years back.
I don't think much of them.

Unless they changed,
They were hard to mount and wire.
They contained a single solenoid connected to an arm mounted in a black box.

they are fine. They were what Ross Custom recommended in the early days. the problem with them is the adjustments. the finger switches need to be tightend and sometime loosen with use. Noisy. The throw rod is hard to adjust from the underside of the layout surface. You can throw by hand but you must have your hand under the table.

Must use with a RIX-RAX mounting bracket. All in all the DZs have saved the day and are much easier to mount and No adjustment is necessary.
