Dunham Studios posted:The turntable for the Basic Layout's auxiliary section finally arrived (after a wait of several months) and John got right to setting it up. (Note how he worked with the section in vertical mode so as not to have to keep crawling around underneath.) The turntable has been bolted in place and is ready for Roy to 'rug' its platform after which John will give it a whirl (so to speak).
Nice work. We have a Ross turntable and it works great. I wanted to pass on a suggestion, though, that you install a "slip ring" underneath it for the wires. It allows electricity to pass to the track (and bridge if you want) on top, but prevents the wires from eventually twisting over time. We put one under ours years ago and it still works great. You only need a small piece of wood across the bottom beams to mount it in. I'll post a photo when I go to the club this weekend.
