overlandflyer posted:be careful when using a non-Marx transformer. Marx motors (and transformers) were designed to run on ~12vac max.
Both the transformers I’m running are conventional 12v 60w 3amp transformers. Same as described in the manual. I did read that somewhere besides the manual. And I think when I get a chance I’m just going to open up the other transformer and try to fix the issue. Just to have an extra. Thank you for the warning. Honestly I’d be devastated if I ruined this little baby. It seems hard to find a Marx in good shape and I lucked out and got one handed to me.
