DIAMOND SCALE TURNTABLE MOTOR

Construction consists of assembling the gear box and gears, attaching the unit to the underside of the turntable with plastic hinges, connecting the universal joint, and attaching electrical wires between the motor and controls.  Attaching the motor unit to the turntable is more easily accomplished while the pit is on your workbench prior to installation into your layout.

A double pole double throw (dpdt) switch is included to change motor direction.  A universal joint is supplied to correct for any slight shaft  misalignment between the motor and the worm shaft. 

Diamond Scale Products has developed a motor kit specifically designed to operate our turntables by connecting to the 3/16 inch diameter worm shaft supplied with the turntable kit.  It uses  a very smooth running, medium rpm, low current, reversible DC motor and a reduction gear box.
