I just bought the built up 90' Walthers turntable from Cherry Creek Hobbies on sale.  I won't have it until today or tomorrow.  I did a bit of research before I pulled the trigger on this unit.  Most everything I read that was negative was about the older kit version of this turntable. 

On the other hand, The BUILT UP unit that costs a king's ransom (even with CC Hobbies nice discount) has received very good reviews.  I can't be yet because I haven't had any experience with mine yet, but over the next few weeks I'll know more.  All I can say is the guys that have them seem to love the darn things, so I will keep my fingers crossed.

Turntable indexing
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, April 27, 2007 10:48 AM

 I recently read somewhere in a RR magazine article a rather cryptic remark to the effect that there were not really any reliable or satisfactory results for turntable indexing.  Can this be true?  I am anxious to construct a Walthers 90 ft motorized turntable I recently purchased but have no information or details about indexing.  Where can I find reliable detailed decriptions and/or instructions for understanding and completing my indexing project??  I'm only a novice at electrical projects.  Can anyone out there point me in the right direction???

 

Any and all assistance would be grestly appreciated.
