Phew! ... after all these years of towing it's now finally been confirmed I actually have a "Brake Thingy". Mine's a Tekonsha P3. :W
Now DON'T LAUGH, but I actually do have used for the last 30 years a "Brake Thingy" since I sure wouldn't classify it as one of these fancy "Brake Controllers". I do have an ammeter made for it that sits on my dash so I know instantly how much braking I'm applying to the trailer. For those of you familiar think "sewing machine" speed foot controller which is basically what my "Brake Thingy" is.:B
Here are a couple of pics if interested ....
"Brake Thingy" made by Warner vintage c. 1980


Ammeter on left (note "thingy" on right is my custom remote leveling sensor system now removed/discarded):
