Would an on line conversion site work? I use one for short sentances.

Never tried one for your issue though.

I guess you would have to scan each page.

Just wondering. Lots of stuff on the Internet.

Good luck though.

I made a decoder tester about ten years ago and it was kind of basic. Only a eight pin socket though and two LED's for front and rear.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

Ok Big Daddy. Your wife is correct.  When I look back at the package it too is bilingual.  The English is grayed out. The print is tiny and. Just saw the German which is clear black on white.

I did go to the ESU Site and tried to download the manual but it too is in GERMAN

As my wife would say, you skimmed it.   All 3 manuals are bilingual.  The top manual is very sparse in the way of directions.

ESU Decoder tester instructions
Posted by gdelmoro on Friday, July 26, 2019 8:50 AM

Hi all, 

I purchased an ESU Decoder tester model #53900. Looks like all the pictures except that the instructions and other information on teh package are in German.  I can’t read German Angry. Is there some place I can get it in English? Is it the same tester?
