Think I bought the wrong decoder
Posted by gdelmoro on Sunday, August 20, 2017 6:58 AM

Hi all, I have an Athearn Genesis FP9-A and I want to install a TCS WOW sound decoder. I purchased a TCS 1770 WOW WDK ATH3 but when I searched for an install video and on the TCS site it looks like this is made for an F7 not an F9.  It seems I should have purchased a WDK ATH9.

It looks like the difference is the speaker. Can i just buy that speaker?

Yes you have the wrong kit if you have the sound-ready frame.

 

If you have the sound-ready frame then you have the wrong speaker, speaker housing and are missing the Motherboard Motor Clip for mounting the motherboard on the motor.

 

Visit TCS webpage for complete details and contact TCS for your options.
