Delay & Volume Pedal Order:

I recently re-configured them after I installed the patch panel. One set on the right is for pedals out front and the other for volume pedal and pedals in the loop. That way I can patch them into any of the 5 amps on the patch panel.

The Green Pedal is a Tube Screamer. Judging by the knob configuration, it's a TS-9 produced between 1982 and 1985. If it's an original, it will have a black rear label and a six digit serial - the first digit being the last year of production, i.e., 180561 would be a 1981 build. If it's a re-issue, produced more recently, it will have a silver (not black) label with the 'CE' markings and that sort of thing...
 
Not to Hijack DonO's thread, but I also have a few pedals I acquired along the way.
First is I have a Vox Distortion Booster, next a Metal Zone, a Crybaby Wah,TS9, and if memory serves me right my last pedal is a Dan Echo. I also have a mangled Tech 21 RK5 Richie Kotzen Fly Rig. My blind friend gave it to me but of course he likely did all the damage to it in a fit of rage as he gets that way when he stops taking his bipolar meds. I am pretty sure I can fix it, but I ran into an initial obstacle in de-mounting the guts from the case. It is really shoe horned in there, plus certain buttons etc seem affixed to the case and I have yet to unlock the secret of undoing them and slipping the components out so I can attempt to reshape the aluminum case.

It's a newer TS-9. I bought an original one when I bought my 1981 LP new. Kick my self for selling it and my other pedals (Big Muff, etc) in the 90's after I bought a Digitech RP-12 modeling floor board. At the time I thought "I'll never need a pedal again".

OK As I said a few posts above, I got this pedal from a friend who basically wrecked it in what I would label as Hurricane Bipolar.
Ya see, Mr Bipolar was moving from one apartment to another and as we were packing up his things he gives me a Digitech Digidelay and this pedal, both have some form of damage. This RK pedal is not only missing the bottom cover plate but also one end and the screws that hold the end plate on. Also just noticed one of the switches is missing the part that presses it on or off. Bigger yet is the case is very bent. However, as I finally got tired of it not working nor me being able to remove the circuit board, knobs, jacks etc from the case, I finally separated things tonight.

Once clear of the case, I can see 1 other switch appears to not function and of course it is too late to test to see what kinds of sounds and adjustments I can make when plugging into amp and guitar.
Updates to follow but in my own thread about the progress. It does power up and light up and I can get guitar sounds thru it.
