Excellent! It's a job well done. I have one from Pola, and being a flat design, I'm still trying to figure out how to get power to the track on the turn table. keep up the good work.

@liver49 thanks for your comment, this maybe of interest to you, what I have done for the power to the track, I have used 2 63120 ELECTRICAL PICKUP BRUSHES, which project up from the base in the centre, with the track feed connected to these, then on the underside of the turntable bridge I have used plain copper PCB board, made this up like a big washer shape appox 3 in dia, hole in the middle with approx 10mm for the pick-up strip with 2 cuts for insulation, two wire soldered here to track

Good work, looks solid.

How did you realise the stop mechanism?

[brockenbahnman]

@Gtrainsde thanks for your comment, the control is just on a toggle switch, DTDP biased C/OFF, (ON)-OFF-(ON)  so that when you push the switch to the left, it turns clockwise, to the right and it turns, anti clockwise, and when you release the switch it stops, "really simple". regards John

Excellent - looks really good.  Is it fitted in your portable layout now?

Cheers Glyn

@GardenHermit thanks for your comment Glyn, yes I have fitted in the layout now, this is just the start of it, loads more work to do yet, I will keep you posted on progress, all working well up to now. regards John
