Larry,
Welcome to the MR Forums !
The NMRA's Kalmbach Memorial Library:
http://www.nmra.org/library/
has a file of old instructions that members have sent in. There's an outside chance that they might have a copy of the Howard Industries turntable instructions. If they do, they'll make you a photocopy for a reasonable fee.

you may need to rewire the entire thing..a good way to wire it is to use a divided copper strip (one side + and the other strip - ) around the turntable base that swipes the pick up copper strip and carries the current to each rail of the turntable, the motor can be wired with two wires with a DPDT switch placed in it wired X ways to reverse the polarity and then a rotory switch can be used to power each section of track within the round house...chuck

My friend ,ED, recently moved. On trying to set up his layout he found that his ,brother. had disconnected the wiring on the turntable ,between the the control panel and the unit.On checking the original instruction have faded out. Could anyone help as this business is no longer listed in the phone book.
thank you Larry Miller<larrym7071@verizon.net
