Sorry for the broken link. (*Note: EFC-66 Ignition Control Panel link in post #26 above has been corrected.) Here's a different link for the EFC-66 Ignition Control Panel: https://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/c...68/68cen66.html Both links should work now.

Anybody happen to have copies of the Operating Instructions for any one of the following: the Centuri EFC-44 Lectra Line Controller, the EFC-66 Ignition Control Panel Controller, and/or the EFC-88 Heavy Duty Ignition Control Unit? If so, could you post on YORF please to document them? Thanks! Kind regards, Jeff Jenkins aka: Faithwalker NAR #46879 |

I don't know for sure--due to its resolution--if this is a different type of flat Centuri blast deflector, or a variation of a 1960s-type one instead, but on page 53 of their 1972 catalog, under the "Launcher Accessories" heading (see: http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/no...a/72cen052.html ), there is featured a flat, angled blast deflector that appears to be designed to slide over the cross-member of a sawhorse (for a multi-pad rack launcher). I can't see it quite clearly enough at that resolution, but it looks like *this* http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/ca...68/68cen26.html "Launcher Assembly" pad's blast deflector, in the 1968 Centuri catalog. They appear to differ in that the "sawhorse" one looks like it has upward-angled "wings," while the 1960s one is a flat rectangle of sheet steel, bent "forward to back" in two places.

What you picture in the two ninfinger links are definitely different blast deflectors.

Glad I was able to help.
I also agree that the "Power Tower" pad one is also different. When the Power Tower was produced, both Centuri and Estes were owned by Damon. The Power Tower was a clone of the Estes Porta Pad. The only thing that differentiated the two was color and blast deflector shape.

The Power Tower was not just a clone. They were made in the same mold. Mine have identical mold lines and marks.
