Walthers 90' Turntable Lost Service Tracks 3 to 99

Hello
I was renumbering my Service Tracks Started with number 25 to 35 I then added a new service track wanted to make it 36, But when I went to select 36 it did not appear I could not go any further than number 35. I contacted Walter’s and they suggested I do a “Clear Memory/Factory Default Reset” That clears all your defined service tracks from memory which it did and sets service tracks 1 and 2 Well now I only see 00 01 and 02 I am supposed to have 99 tracks to select from. Anyone run into this problem? does anyone know how to resolve this problem

Thanks in advance
Tom

Hi there and welcome to the forum. Did you reprogram your tracks after the reset?

Simon,

that’s the problem I am unable to get to track number 25 When I hit CCW or CW buttons it only shows 00 01 and 02

I tried another Clear Memory/Factory Default Reset Then Reset Home Position

I shut off my NCE system waited a while and turned it back on but still unable to see the numbers I need

I have 12 service tracks to setup

This is very strange

Thanks
Tom

Manual for the older version:

Are the connections to the indexing unit good?

Looks to me as if you go through the whole indexing and ‘set’ procedure for each approach track before it will appear as a ‘service track’ in the list. Is there physically enough space at the rim of a 90’ turntable for 99 physical service tracks? I get no more than about 60 if electrically powered…

I now operate my Walthers TT manually. I did use the automatic indexing early on, but I don’t remember exactly how I used to program it :thinking:. But here are the instructions I had:

When programming, I don’t remember seeing the other addresses beyond the next number.

Hello guys

I have the New Version of the Turntable Model 933-2860 With DCC support built in

I have not yet installed the ACM Unit until I get this issue resolved

I always have the service tracks assigned to a number
I started with number 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 and 35
I recently added another service track making it number 36
But when I tried to assign number 36 it did not appear I could only go as high as 35. I contacted Walters support and they suggested a Clear Memory/Factory Default Reset
Did that and now only see 00 01 and 02
very strange problem.

Thank you
Tom

I thought the track numbers appeared as they were indexed and set, representing registration of a set of rails relative to an internal index of much higher angular resolution. You will only see the preset [00], [01], and [02] until you finish the procedure to ‘set’ one of the service tracks, and the track you set will appear as [03], etc.

It’s my understanding that there are no ‘default’ detented positions around the rim of the table, other than the optical ‘zero’ reference, and that [01] and [02] are angular default settings that can be erased and overridden once you have tracks programmed the way you want them.

Hello

I set service track 1 to 01 and service track 2 to 02

I still only see 00 01 & 02

Very strange how this is not working as expected.

Thank you
Tom

Woke,

I did that I set 01 and 02 then I moved the bridge to track 3.

When I hit the TRACK button and then the CW button I still only see 00 01 and 02

I am puzzled,

I called Walters Support but the guy I was working with was out of the office he will be back tomorrow I will call him then

This is a very strange problem.
