WATCH OUT THE MRC POLICE WILL BE HERE SOON!!!!!

Since the thread had been up for well over 24 hours without comment I don't think you have to worry.  I suspect that most just shrug with ambivalence and move on.

Just out of curiosity, why are you so defensive about MRC?

I am really glad you like your system, and I am equally happy when someone posts that they have had a success story with an MRC decoder.  Unlike many others they have not wasted their hard earned money.

MRC E8/9 drop in decoder
Posted by UPABILENE on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 7:53 PM

Just installed the MRC E8/9 drop in decoder in a  older Life-LIke E7 powered and non powered B unit and was pleasantly suprised at the results. The bulbs had to be replaced with LED's but did not need resistors. with a connector and harness installed  the supplied second speaker in the B unit and they sound and perform well enough for my deaf ear. The price also makes them real cost effective. I payed 59.00 for mine. The decoder can only be intalled in the models that have the original rear circuit board.
