Thanks, Mike,  

Yup, all fixed and getting ready for the first operating session Oct 20.

================

Took all day but worth it!

Previously, until I knew the new circuit board would work, I only put in 7 of the 24 track leads.

Today, I cut a lot of 1" pieces of rail and soldered/spiked them to the turntable area to bridge the gap between the old and newly installed Walther's turntable.

With a plywood base, I had to pre-drill holes for the spikes.

Rails installed.

Some black paint to cover the 'too large' of a cement 'lip' around the edge.

A piece of masonite was used to clean the tops of the rail.

After the paint dries, some ground cover will be added.
