From Dan Bucci - 2/6/06 - Website News:

2005 was a great year for Classic Dynatrol Labs. Demand for product, particularly receivers, remained strong throughout the year.

We have decided to make some changes in our offering of used / reconditioned Dynatrol equipment. Rather than offer used / reconditioned equipment at a fixed price, the price will be set based upon it’s age and appearance. We feel this will offer greater value to customers who are looking for low cost spare units or to those customers who are less concerned with appearance. If you are looking for used / reconditioned equipment, please e-mail us at ClassicDynatrol@aol.com and we will be happy to accommodate your request.

Next, our good friend Abbott Lahti and I will be working on ways which will allow for proper operation of channels #19 and #20 on existing layouts. Our hope is that we will modify your existing throttle(s) with circuitry that provides improved frequency tracking necessary to operate the higher channels. Channels beyond #20 may also be possible. We will keep you informed of our progress. We hope to complete this project in mid-late 2006.

From ANDY B. - 9/27/04 - Website News:

Since late August there have been several hardware and software problems with the server. They have finally been resolved and a fairly recent copy of the website has been recovered. The site should be located at the same address (www.classicdynatrol.dynu.com) but the server has changed to a much more stable and reliable server from RIT. I apologize for the lengthy downtime, but hopefully that will be the last of it.

From ANDY B. - 5/18/04 - Website News:

The site will be going down for up to a full day (24 hours) starting around 10.00 AM EST on Friday 5/21/04. The server is bieng physically moved and I cannot setup a temporary server in the mean time. I will try to get everything up and running by that night, however the relocation may not be complete until the next day.

From ANDY B. - 3/7/04 - Dynatrol News:

As far as channels 19 and 20, Dan is still performing many reliability tests with the channels, since that is their main problem right now. A. Lahti is also lending a hand in the testing. It may be possible to add up to 5 new channels with further testing.

I have made some small changes to the site over time, and I hope they have been helpful. Most recently I added a Contact page. While very brief, hopefully it will at least clarify how people should contact us, as it was never really made clear before. As always I encourage questions or suggestions about the site, and all Dynatrol-related questions should go to Dan.

From ANDY B. - 9/12/03 - Dynatrol News:

Big news. It seems that Dan has found a way to add two new channels to the existing Dynatrol system. This entails a DPS update, along with some other minor tweaks of the system. The new channels, 19 and 20, are still in the test phases, and I am told that channel 19 is working exceptionally well, and channel 20 is soon to follow. Full details about the upgrade will be added shortly. Pricing for the update will follow, and the price for the new receivers / channel plugs should remain the same.

Other than that, nothing on the site has changed much. We are still allowing users to submit their personal railroad pictures, and we encourage everyone to partake in this.

I am considering redesigning the website... just a few minor amends but they should be very helpful.

From ANDY B. - 7/28/03 - Dynatrol News:

I've decided to put some news and current Dynatrol Events on the title page. It probably won't be updated very often but I hope it will let everyone know if there is anything going on with the site or Dynatrol in general. Each time I update the site I will briefly explain what changes I made, such as an addition here, or a new product, etc.

The most recent change to the site was the addition of some guest pictures. The Dynatrol user was Don Shouldice and he sent four pictures of his railroad, the Crystal River. We encourage others to do the same and email your pictures to be posted. Jump to the Customer Pictures page to check them out.

Lastly, this site is still very new, and it is hosted right here in Erie, PA by ourselves. If you experience any problems such as very slow speeds, broken links, or any other errors in the site, please email me so I can fix any problems. Other comments and suggestions are welcome; this website is made to serve you, the customer.
