The new motor Walthers sent me - the same one used on their new Bacule bridge, is a huge improvement over the former motor - the mounting is positive and the motor is very slow turning if you use the variable DC on a power pack.. But, the same problem exists with the basic design of the turntable itself - terrible. Check the base to see if it is out of round, causing the bridge to bind at spots (if so, a dremel tool at those points will solve it.. The bridge shaft is the real problem... the design is flawed - that is why it will not turn properly, and pitches and yaws. As to the noice - I thought of laying a long rubber band inside the space on the base where the bridge wheels run over the ties (cause of noice) so the wheels run contact the rubber rather than the ties.. Or cover the ties with silicone... <br /> <br />Ken
