Koos, this is the web site of the original one " <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hoffmann-antrieb.de/pages/s_0202_mwa.html">http://www.hoffmann-antrieb.de/pages/s_0202_mwa.html</a><!-- m --> ". It's name is Hoffmann. He developed a second generation with the feature to adjust the speed. Sounds good but the first generation / Conrad are in daily business about the same.
I had a lot of them on my earlier German based layout. The swiss one were overpriced and had some nasty flaws but because they had the same wiring as the Tortoise was it easy to go to Tortoise without changing the wiring.
This is the old swiss switch machine I used " <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.asoa.de/feather-products.htm">http://www.asoa.de/feather-products.htm</a><!-- m --> ". I had the FPM-2 installed. Did not know the German ballast specialist AOSA has them still in their shop. This is the web site of the swiss maker of the switch machines " <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://feather.ch/home_e.html">http://feather.ch/home_e.html</a><!-- m --> " but it looks like they do not make switch machines anymore. Don't know where AOSA gets them from. The old dealer in Zürich closed his shop some years ago.
ps. I am sorry but Hoffmann as well as AOSA do not have an english web page.
