Summit Orange Box

Fo those curious.... Here is what's inside what I believe was an original factory orange box. Also included is a schematic of this orange box. The box had a black potting material which was a semi flexible, semi sticky, non liquid filling that interestingly did not really adhere to the parts, but still had to be removed in chunks.
On the schematic , the LH side is a diagram of how the balance of ignition system components relate to the orange control module. The large TO-3 power transistor had markings that were not that of standard 2N part number, rather a house part number. though I suspect it's a 2N3055 or equivalent NPN power transistor.

Roughly a 2000 real box. Do not run it with the recommended .25 ohm ballast it will burn up on the street, designed for the strip where it will achieve the max RPM and cool down between runs. Use around A .8 ballast for the street you will not get 10K rpms though. Usually around 7K on my tester.
Great example of a fake box Hint "REPLACES"
Thats a lot of work there. You can clearly see why grounding the box is a must!

Yes sir.
Both of these were in the same box, stored for several years. They were fine going in. When I pulled them out the stocker black ECU was stuck to the box. The blue 0256 is still fine........
Heat does that bet the gooey one was stored with the potting down. The other up. Nice blue box better than a chrome box.
I bet it is sea sand - and not washed either

Actually, both were standing up on end in my old DC long rotor oil pump conversion box.
IIRC, on one of these forums, it was posted that the potting material batches were differently mixed. I'm leaning toward that since they all don't do this.

That does not look like it would be difficult to reproduce at all considering the PCB services we now have at our disposal.
The fake transistor in the other unit reminds me of this Chinese handheld gaming system I bought years ago that had fake cartridges. Cartridge 1 didn't do anything and if you started the system without it you would get the same games. Cartridge 2 was just a conductor across to pins that let the system see another 1000 games that was already in memory. You could use a paperclip instead of Cart 2.
I thought it was funny but the fake transistor kind of pisses me off.
