MK-1 Solar Control Unit
Spin-Cast Wildlife FeedersThe MK-1 Control Unit features a very accurate clock with a sleep feature that conserves battery power. A press of any button will wake the unit up! Six feeding times are available and the motor run time is programmable for each feeding. All settings operate forward and backwards. A progressive counter advances each time the unit feeds and a "smiley" face lets you know the solar panel is charging the battery. The press-to-test runs a complete system check and operates in conjunction with a motor delay safety feature adjustable from 0 to 99 seconds. There is a built-in lithium back up battery to hold settings when the feeder battery is disconnected. A five minute field repair is as simple as unplugging the electronic assembly and plugging in a new one. No soldering! All plastic used in Control Units is 100% Recycled Polycarbonate with UV inhibitors added (the same tough, flexible material that is used in safety glass).
The MK-1 Control Unit is supplied with a 6 volt rechargeable battery, 6 volt solar panel with stainless steel cooncable, small cone, cutting template, and mounting hardware.
Handmade at our facility in Texas from many US-sourced components.

Mk1 solar charging spin cast
Had one for 30 years pigs knocked over feeder and popped open bottom cover so I ordered new one but after being open to elements put a fresh battery old still works so spin cast feeders are the best feeders I have ever used and I highly recommend

MK 1 solar control unit
Been using these guys for over 20 years and for the most part have been served well. Get 4 years or more out them with little maintenence required other than batteries. Most have about 10 of them now.

MK-1
I’ve been using Spincast feeders for over 20 years and personally feel the MK-1 is the best on the market. I know I am running 11 currently and they are the simplest and most reliable units to operate.
