Thank you Dave for the input. You're right. I just did a complete rewiring of the unit and saw that the transformer is AC. Used an old Bachmann AC/DC transformer and off it went. Figured out the two brass rings are for the track and have wired the auto resverse board to those contacts.
I think I have the wrong control switch because the turntable goes in "one" direction and stops at the pin point under the table.

I belive that your transformer is AC, not DC

Walthers Turntable Wiriing help

I am on my second turntable (first was Atlas) and get the same problem. Changed to the Walthers Cornerstone series 90, but tried to wire it and get only buzzing from motor. Here is the setup: Lionel Transformer (18v I think, Atlas switch control(not the Twin and not at home to look)has a blue button and moves left to right and makes contact when pressed in right position. Track wiring is OK with a reverse DCC decoder. I am basicly confused with wiring from the shaft (two brass rings and two wires from the brass spring tabs that screw into a plastic bracket that gets fixed to the underside of turntable.
The two seperate wires from the motor are directly connected to the transformer. This may be wrong in that when I turn the control knob of the transfromer the motor buzzes.
I could use a simple diagarm for the following:
Where to the two wires from the brass rings go?
Where do the two wires from the brass spring tabs go?
Where does the transformer wires connect?
Which wires go to the switch?
An I confused or what!
Thanks for any help :)
