Reply to "K-Line S-2 Switcher help"

B701A9DD-E5F6-4B56-AFDF-D57937A24B7367FA88EB-ABE3-499B-9C18-7D8FA9FE0875Ok good and bad news. I got the replacement switcher(it’s a K-line by Lionel version and actually does have a (quiet) horn. The bad news is that the seller didn’t mention that the front coupler was broken. And we cannot have a switcher without a front coupler can we? Any instructions or advice on how to take the coupler off the SP DC switcher and replace the broken coupler in the AC version?

I also read about how these units basically go or stop and yes I can confirm that they are not “smooth runners”. Basically stopped or warp speed are the choices. I also read that wiring them in series could help. Does anyone have instructions on how to rewire the motors in series?

One of the great things about this hobby for me is that I can get into it relatively cheaply and that even when things go wrong with some used purchases most of the time I can fix them with the help of this forum(and then I learn something in the process).
