I have an old 1034 that does NOTHING when i plug it in....no hum no vibrations...nothing. Took cover off and all wires seem to be properly connected. Any off the cuff ideas as to the reason it doesn't work?
Thanks!

Check the cord. I had a transformer do that, a ZW if i remember correctly. The cord had broken internally near the plug.
The Circuit Breaker can be stuck open. If so I don't think you can order replacement circuit breakers. You can try unplugging it and cleaning it by inserting a really thin strip of cardboard soaked in QD contact cleaner between the contact points of the circuit breaker.
Check for 120 volts AC at the transformer terminals where the power cord is soldered to it. No voltage, replace the cord.
Here is a replacement circuit breaker if the old one fails to close. Wire it across the failed one and insulate it from touching the transformer.
Parts are sold by The Train Tender.
