Anybody from the Trace alumni recognize this remote control?

Thank you for asking about this !

Yes, this is rare and is an RC1, the original remote for the Trace 2000 series inverters (prior to the U-Series). I have one somewhere in my junk at home.

Thanks, bob….

The eBay seller wants more $$$ than I have for a trinket right now.

That's OK. 

The picture of it is really nice just by itself !

Thanks boB, Thought it was a rarity. I have a small collection of really old solar panels and vintage Trace equipment which is why this caught my eye. My interest started when I found a 1999 Trace SW4024 in an original factory sealed box. At the time I put it into service it was 15 years old. This unit is powering my home in Baja and I have a feeling it will outlive me.
