I have purchased a used Marklin 7286 turntable because I’m tired of my main Walthers turntable causing derailments due to the “play back and forth” in the bridge when stopped. The Marklin turntable is indexed and stops exactly on the exit track and locks. Those turntables are very expensive to buy new. But my train store had a 7286 on hand that had arrived as part of an estate sale and during its removal from its former layout some parts had disappeared. But all the wires are there and I’m trying to connect them in such a way as to ONLY power the rotation of the bridge (deck) I don’t require the tracks powered. So far I’ve struck out. Does anyone have experience with these Marklin turntables?? They are manufactured by Fleishman and marketed by Marklin. Thank You!!
Hi Rick
I didn’t really read through this, but if you haven’t seen it, it might help.

Thanks very much for sending to me, Joe. Appreciated. I hope it will make sense to my non-electronically gifted mind.

For some alternative ideas:
They have separate tabs for ‘analog’ and for PC operation if you are ‘DCC-free’..
Hopefully a service like Google Translate won’t make too much hash of the sense if you don’t read German!
Thank you very much, Woke
