cjack posted:I have had an issue with this 993 base ever since I got it. It would intermittently just go dark. Lionel "fixed" it once but it still went dark. I can't blame them since I opened it a half dozen times only to have it work while I was looking at it. Finally the 3 amp power supply bridge opened up for good and I had a chance to fix it. I only had some flat pack 10 amp bridges from the motor drive boards (?) and bent the leads so it would drop right in. And I was able to screw the original heat sink to it. Works! Yea!
What in the world in the #993 charging base would be drawing 3 amps, or anything close to that?
