Chromegatrol

Introduced: 1976
Discontinued: 1997

 
 

The Chromegatrol had the longest production run of any Omega timer.  Of course, it's not just a timer, but also a stabilized power supply for the Super Chromega D and E Lamphouses, and therefore can only be used with those heads.  The timer controls and functions are similar to those of the E-99 and Dual Range IC timers.
