<p>I strongly stand and say DONT open those trainset power packs. There are no User servicable parts inside and to have anything changed inside the box will destroy the safety and subject you or the home to a big problem injury, fire or death.</p><p>Those things are soo cheap as not to be worth the trouble. Im betting the cleaning supplies you plan to use combined will cost more than the pack itself!!!!</p><p>Get a tech 4 220, I think they sell for 50 bucks or so and will provide you with the basic throttle that will work very well for you. MRC knows how to make good throttles. Ive had a Tech II until it died and my 220 for 5 years now that sits on the shelf lonely and sad next to the DCS 200.</p><p>It will find new life driving lights, signals etc.. things of that nature someday.</p><p>Any of the MRC Throttles will serve you well. Just stay away from thier decoders.. they havent learned to make a good one yet. lol.</p>
