Improvements to American Flyer Log Loader #751
Posted by Lairbear on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 9:53 PM

I’ll be designing an AC circuit (triac?) to vary the voltage to the solenoid coil of the log loader #761 which when timed correctly, should eliminate the jerky up/down movements of the current lifter scheme. Voltage increase’s to max within 2 sec’s and then decreases slowly to zero within 2 sec’s.

My design board will attach to the underside of the bakelite base with velcro ® which will allow removal of same to restore to original wiring.
