need good image of the MRC control master XI

[Doc Frankenfield]

I am restoring an old MTC Controlmaster X ( or XI) 
the surface is pretty well shot and I need to find a front on shot showing the lettering in the control surface.
any help is appreciated! [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Never owned one. What's the restoration for?

I think you are referring to a MRC (Model Rectifier Co.) product
the earlier ones coming in a brass/copper colored metal case as such
and later ones in flat black plastic

fwiw.....

There is one on ebay right now with some pretty good images.

I saw the ebay one, did get the images from it;
 in answer: the MRC controller is unique in that is features a prototypical brake lever. when it was new it was a power house, also it was the state for the art in momentum and braking control.
 we are restoring it for use on the switching layout section of our club's N Trak modules
 High Point N trak ( NY NJ PA )

It is a very nice power pack. It must have been introduced in the late seventies or early eighties?

I can answer my own question. I happened to be looking through the March, 1979 issue of MR and there is an MRC ad for the Controlmaster XI as being new. In separate ads from model railroad suppliers like Hobbies for Men and H.O. Specialists, it sold for around 80 dollars but I don't know what the list price was. Probably a bit higher than that.
