Fleischmann developed the "Turn Control" (Art. 6915), a more comfortable solution to control the turntable. It came ca. 2000 on the market after they released their "Twin Center", a DCC/FMZ-enabled central unit derived from the "IntelliBox I" by Uhlenbrock. It is still available, but not cheap. It does not need a digital environment, it can replace the control switch you used in your video. Aside from the track power it needs an independent 12-14V AC to power the Turn Control and the turntable. In a digital environment the Turn Control functions as a DCC-turntable decoder and the wiring between the turntable and its control does not change. Instead you have to provide the DCC-track signal. But they suggested as well a DIY-solution to make a control panel for the turntable decades before.
You can use the lever under the bridge, opposite the engine house, to disengage the cog-wheel and position the bridge properly. So no need to remove the tracks to align it properly.. :)
My new 6152C was kept box for a few years and now when I connect it up for the first time to operate it there is a click noise when the bridge turns for every one of the 48 exit positions. Your video shows the turntable turning smoothly with no clicking noise for any position as it turns. Please advise if you have any idea of what my problem is. Many thanks and regards
Many thanks for your reply. I am not using the standard switch controller that came with the turntable. I purchased and connected up a fleischmann 6915 Turn-Control. Perhaps there is a setting issue do you think? Regards Scott
@@Scott-y6w Hi Scott, That control method uses a method that enguages the solenoid lock on each exit so the control unit can know exactly where the bridge exit is , there is no way of stopping the enguaing sound on that fleischmann tt control unit as far as I know. Jim.
Jim hi: many thanks. I will disconnect the turn control and try it with the control switch that was supplied with the TT. This is a very annoying noisy situation and I feel it will shorten the life of the TT. I am committed to use the turn-control as I am using a TWin centre and a software program to control this DCC layout I am building. Regards scott
@@Scott-y6w I had the Twin Centers and the fleischmann Dcc TT control unit , I ended up selling it and moved to The ESU Ecos and a LDT TT control unit as the ecos has the built in software for controlling the TT. I moved on again to a direct control dcc chip in the TT bridge and fitted a corless control motor in the fleischmann TT the end.
Hello, I'm Bas and I'm from the Netherlands. That number, 2175, what does it mean? Because my turntable - looks like yours only older - has exactly the same number underneath
Esta tornamesa Fleisch no me ha salido nada buena; le tuve que cambiar el motor porque se calentaba (la fuente de voltaje es 15 voltios) ( esta tornamesa es de segunda mano), unos componentes que traía se calentaban, y para colmos tiende a atascarse en el giro y hay que usar la leva debajo del puente constantemente para destrabarla. En resumen ha sido una pesadilla y cambiar el conjunto solenoide-motor-mecanismo, es carísimo. Es el que se ve en el minuto 7.50.

Thanks for the information,
I have recently retro fitted the TT with a maintenance free coreless motor now for a far superior movement .
Thanks for the video, a very nice piece of engineering and very informative
many thanks Malcolm ..there are no vids on this turntable for removing the bridge so i thought i would do one.....jim
That looks really well built.
I know like my vw ....
Thank you for video 👍🇺🇦
Fantastic bit of kit,,,, great informative presentation.
Thanks Alan. .
That is some piece of kit Jim ...
Thanks dave shoukd get 20 exits on this when finished. .
Very good information😀
Many thanks....Jim
Phenomenal

Very interesting, nice one!
Thanks Steve
The best.
Hi, perhaps you can help me? My turntable turns only in one direction, what can be the problem?
You need a fleischmann turntable command 6915 which works independently and converts the tt to digital use.
My new 6152C was kept box for a few years and now when I connect it up for the first time to operate it there is a click noise when the bridge turns for every one of the 48 exit positions.

Will you adding lights to the control hut?
Not sure yet. ..a small function decoder could easily be fitted to the bridge hut via the bridge power feed from the under side of the bridge...

I installed a coreless motor to solve all of these problems.
