Vibrating e-Unit Postwar Lionel Erie ALCO 2032

BCianciBCianciOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

Here are 2 videos of my e-Unit issue...  Video 1 shows the engine on my workbench receiving conventional power to blow the horn.. as I do, you can see the arm in the e-Unit vibrating like crazy.

Video 2 shows the engine on the track under ZW power (this ZW has had a diode upgrade to replace the rectifier and it always hits my whistle tenders strong and decisive).

Could the coil be overly sensitive? I'm thinking 1/2 or full wave rectification across the e-unit coil??  GunrunnerJohn?, you there?  Any help is appreciated.
