milwaukeeroadtrackman posted:Ah, I wondered about that - the missing black wire seems to attach to a lug and the lug just gets attached via a screw to the frame. To just get the bulb to light, are there 2 wires that could get attached to base and 16V? The semaphore action seems to work, so that's a start, I loosed the screws, it won't open fully but the linkages seem good - man, I only seem to buy junk! Does the 23761 hook up differently? I didn't get a red/green control button, should I have?

The link I provided explains what wire does what Tom.
Seems like the yellow wire is what you are looking for?

From the Portlines link:
WIRING:
Red wire controls the STOP aspect using a momentary contact (button or track trip).
Green wire controls the GO aspect (button or track trip).
Yellow wire connects the LIGHT to the 15VAC post and completes the electrical circuit to throw the solenoid when the button is pushed or the track trip is activated.
Black wire is the BASE.
The White wire controls the Isolated section for automatic control by making or breaking the electrical circuit in a short isolated section of track.
