Hi Craig,
The SD-60s set for AC power do have a rectifier but it is part of the control board. That board will have to be removed if you install the Bluenami. The Bluenami 2.0 is a 2 amp board designed to run on DC power at 12 volts. The reason I would need the voltage regulator is that I run LEGACY and the track power is 18.5 volts AC.

Ray,
That makes sense. I forgot that the control board will have the reversing logic as well as the rectifier. I use Legacy too but have Powermasters so I can keep the voltage at 12 volts (though it would be safer to have the regulator). I have some bridge rectifiers and regulators from converting my passenger cars to LEDs. I'll have to check if they are rated for 2 amps (since LEDs draw little power). Thanks for your quick reply.
