Kevin,

I doubt the FHL Eliminator can. It is far from a simple circuit or just 
motor speed.

I have my old WD1793 controller modified with the MB8877A and about a days 
worth of cutting and adding of hardware. Then is will do all densities 
properly.

Far from a simple mod, the mod was made by our club President Robert Brose 
and it is up on RSTI.
