    Centroid MPG

    I have an M15-6 control, ser# 4236, late 90's, and I would like an MPG pendant that is compatible with it. New ones are no longer available, so I'm hoping there's a way to use a generic one by rewiring a connector to work with the M-15 system. Anyone had any success doing this, or have an older compatible one for sale? Here's a few images of those that should work:Attachment 395716Attachment 395718Attachment 395720

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Woody

    Centroid does provide a Future MPG for $335 but it will require the legacy adapter box for $220 in order to be able to connect to that 8-pin connector. Unfortunately, you won't be able to install a non-Centroid MPG to that system as the MPGs on those systems had a Centroid specific communications protocol. The other option would be if you can find someone who has one of the MPGs in your photos.

    Hi, Michael, I did not find any help other than the response from a Centroid tech. I sold the machine and bought one with the Acorn AllInOne system with pendant. Sometimes you just have to give in to current technology.
