How to improve the Walthers 90' Motorised Turntable - The Escarpment

New content continues - this video will be the last video for 2022. This video will show you how I improved the Walthers 90' Motorised Turntable for sound operations. This will see the mechanical Walthers solution turned into a digital solution, this will see two major improvements:
1 - You will now not lose sound; and
2 - the rails will be now controlled by a Frog Juicer configured to act as an Auto-reverser.

Below is the list of components that I used:
1) Slip Ring (this initially had 6 wires, I just cut one off):

2) 5 Pin connectors:

3) Frog Juicer:

4)Heat Shrink tubing
Any Jaycar or electronics store or search on eBay

5) Custom Slip Ring holder:
This would depend on the slip ring size and can easily be done in TinkerCAD and then produced on a 3D printer. If in Australia, I can help out with and/or printed part. If overseas, I can help out with sending the STL file

Stay tuned until the end, as there will be tips and lessons learnt content, which will be important to the conversion job.

All the build and track planning has been undertaken in Anyrail 6, for the Escarpment construction. This is an HO Australian model train layout build loosely based on the Illawarra South Coast line on the Escarpment.
