Hello, I've built the diamond scale turntable and am trying to decide how to power the rails. One rail is powered by the ring rail, which is fine. According to the diamond scale instructions, the other rail is powered by running a power wire to the rotor on the bridge arch (which rotates in a brass pipe connected to the other rail) There must be a better method, the diamond scale method should have poor results at best. There must be a better way, but I haven't found one yet. <br /> <br />This turntable is very popular, so someone must have a better way. <br /> <br />Thanks for your help, <br />Cookster
