Hey all,
Im trying to connect a Tortoise switch machine to my atlas customline 3 turnout.
My questions are.
Do I just slide the spring up thru the tiny hole in the middle of the throwbar on the turnout?
I have the entire spring in that hole now. When I flip the switch I can see the spring move up and down but it doesn't throw the switch.
Do I have to cut the spring down before it will work? I want to make sure it works before I cut the spring.
Could my bending of the spring according to the instructions be bad, I lined it up with the figure they give and it matched exactly.
I am using the hole on the right of the fulcrum not the center one. The hole lines up perfectly with the tiny hole in the center of the throwbar. Is there any special consideration when using this hole? The instructions say the bending is different and refer me to document AN-6000-1 which I searched for but cannot find anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get this??? Or can someone tell me how to bend the spring when using the side holes.
Anyone know how to get in touch with Circuitron????
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
TP
