Come to think of it, I don't recall EVER using a commercial launch controller. I've always made my own.
I made this one c. 25 years ago and I still use it. It has (2) 9V batteries wired in parallel for the firing voltage. Every component is from Radio Shack (except the labels.)

This is the same set up I got in my Moon Mutt outfit except my controller is black. |

As I have been learning about some of the history of Estes ground support equipment between my leaving the hobby in the early 1970s and my return about six years ago, I've seen all sorts of mixtures - so I'm not surprised some Moon Mutt sets had the black EB and some had the more recent sealed (so you can't get exposed to the lead on the back of the continuity lamp) yellow one.
Also, in the course of my getting a bunch of old GSE from eBay I've gotten quite a few motors shipped to me and seen many listed sometimes by themselves despite eBay's supposed policy.
