How to install a DCC decoder in Walthers Turntable? Update: Found it!!
Posted by Graffen on Saturday, November 20, 2010 5:42 AM

Hi all, I was trying to find a thread that I saw before. It had pictures that showed how to convert the Walthers 90´indexed TT to DCC control by soldering a locomotive decoder to the control board.

The search function on this Forum isn´t playing ball with me, so to speak....

Would be glad for help.

Mike,

There are two recent threads on the topic, one in September and one in October, but neither has any photos.

Thanks, I could have sworn that it was on this Forum I saw it on as I´m only reading 3 US-Forums and the other two are not the ones either.....

Is there anyone who knows how to do it then?

As far as I remembered it was a case of soldering the function leads on the circuitboard where the buttons are. But I´m not sure how?

I remember the one you mentioned... I *think* it linked out to another forum.

 

I found the pictures that were used (or at least extremely similar-looking ones) here:

Found it! I searched on Google and came up with this:

Turntable control

It was on another Forum so I guess it was linked.....

Thanks for the help.
