Can anyone identify this pill? - Identified!

This is at least two years old and I'm pretty sure it's a very early design by either Lambda or Wayne.
It runs just fine on both a AA alkaline or a 123 lithium.

Anyone want to take credit for it?

My guess would be that it is an "Ill Pill" from lambda

Yeah, I saw the Ill Pill page at the Museum and I know I used to have one.
The large toroid seems to be Kevin's thing and the lack of one in this pill is making me lean back toward early MadMax.
Maybe Wayne will check in.

i'd say one of dat's earlier board. Firstly, it is the lack of the LARGE inductor. Secondly, i never see even one ill pill that has emitter and contact boards with that thickness. While lambda use thin boards for most, if not all, of his boards, Dat always has thicker boards for his converter and modules.

but then, it has coppertop, so :s

My Guess is it is somethign Lambda made, not an ill pill though...I still ave 2 or 3 of those sitting in my drawer unfinished. lol.

Re: Can anyone identify this pill?

Well now I'm convinced it's a very very early MadMax.
Mainly because I just found my Ill-Pill.
:laughing:

I'm sure I only ever had one so now that it's accounted for, this one must be Wayne's.

What'd Wayne have to say 'bout the pics?

Wayne never weighed in but Kevin did.
The Ill-Pill didn't support 1.5V and this one does.
