XCR
SOURCE INFORMATION
XCR is built by simply converting an EDO-04 SCR unit into a CCR. It could be used in either standard SCR mode (aka RB-80) or CCR mode by simply changing 1 component within a few minutes.
Information on the EDO-04 is HERE.

Continue to work excellent after some fine-tuning modifications (i.e. timing of ADV, enhanced DSV, etc.)
