Troller Handheld Throttle

[dekon77]

I recently found a Troller handheld throttle. It says to use the AC accesories connect to power it. I would like to use a separate power suppy. What should I use? I know it has to be 22 Volts AC. Any help will be greatful!!!

David;

Before you buy anything for it, confirm that it is functional. Troller is long out of business, and some of thier throttles had transistor reliability problems. Not impossible to repair, just annoying - those who can have no trouble building a TAT V or similar for about the same cost as repairing the Troller.

Power supply: digikey.

Thanks for the info. I tested it and know it works fine. My father had purchased it and never used it

My brother just cleaned out his basement and sent me a Troller TRH 200 without any documentation. Is this the same one you are talking about?

If that Little Troller is a small black, square box, I had a few about 25 years ago and loved them to death.
All I did was go to Radio Shack and pick up a low voltage AC transformer (10-12v. 3A.) and wire in a fuse and hook up the Troller. These little hand-helds worked great when using engines with can motors. But did not work to good when trying to run more than 1 Athearn engines with the old motors.
I used one so long that I wore all the letters off the front and back.
My replacement for the Troller was the new GML hand-held throttles which I use now.
They work great also.
Good luck,
