Thanks, Vern! The RF unit only comes with one remote but additional remotes
can be purchased that work with the 12-channel receiver:

ect.com/RF-Controller-C8.aspx

I only need the one remote for the time being. It'll be used to control
props that need to be set off at precisely the right time where a sensor is
not up to the task or when a prop is too scary for younger ToTs and needs to
be used with discretion.

The two KIT74s and the input board connect to parallel ports by way of the
grey ribbon cables on the left hand side of the controller. I'll be using
either Dave's PLCC or Ian's Haunt Controller in combination with VSA.

Thanks again for the kind words :)

I've had these links bookmarked for some time. I've been a fan of your work
and the Spiders Preyground for awhile :)
