I got a couple of replies over on the Railwire...  Turns out I blew the controller out, not the bridge.  I'll be working on some sort of fix.  I don't think Walther's offers the controller as a separate part.

But thanks for playing along at home!

Trouble shooting the Walther's N turntable
Posted by wm3798 on Monday, October 3, 2011 11:41 AM

So I was making some fine-tuning adjustments to my Walther's built up turntable, the earlier non-DCC one, and I think I may have rooned it. 

In the process of cleaning and adjusting the wipers in the pit that transfer track and motor power to the bridge, I think I created a short that lasted longer than it liked.  Now when I turn on the main power to it, the LED just blinks and blinks and blinks.  I get track power, but no movement of the table whatsoever.

Using my little LED tester, the track power leads work, as do the leads for the motor power, but when I place the bridge into the pit, completing the circuits, the power light just blinks.  I tried rebooting it, unplugging and replugging, the whole shebang.  Nothing.

Has anyone experienced this, and is there a reasonable fix?
