PREWAR/POSTWAR LIONEL CONTROLLER FOR 97 COAL AND 164 LOG LOADER

 

Lionel offered this controller with the 97 coal loader from 1938 - 1942, and it returned after the war from 1946 - 1950.  It was also included with the 164 log loader, offered from 1940 - 1942, and postwar until 1950.  

 

This example is in excellent condition, no chips or cracks in the Bakelite case.  It has been rewired with 4' of new three conductor flat cable, and is prepared for immediate use with a 97 coal loader, with spade lugs that are labelled for easy installation (see the last picture).  For attachment to the 164, the spade lugs will have to be removed, as the cable is hard wired under the base.  The controller was tested with my 97, and it works fine.   

 

For best results, tighten the finger nut as tight as you can, and then give it a bit more torque with the spade lug.  Otherwise the cable will rotate the nuts and the spade lugs will come loose.
