There was a discussion thread here recently on the Centuri Lectra Line launch controllers from the late 60s to early 70s. Here is an eBay listing for a Lectra Line 1, which appears to have been part of an old Centuri starter set. My guess this one is from right around 1969-70.

Starting bid is $30 for the box of stuff, which is basically the controller and a couple boxes of Centuri motors, some Estes chute wadding, and what looks like a couple of MPC parachutes. Pricey starting point for those items, but if someone here was really wanting to get a Lectra Line controller, here at least is one to try for.

These probably won?t last long. Assorted 150 Estes engine stash for $149, plus $20 shipping. Of course, with motors you never really know how they have been stored. But at basically $1 per motor, not a bad deal at all.

Not my listing nor do I know the seller.

New Mexico? At least they?ve been in a dry state.
