Could this be a happy ending to the 20 year saga of my Marklin turntable?

- Hornby Dublo never made a remotely operated turntable. Over the years a number of people have tried to remedy this. A simple solution had often been what you see here a contemporary Marklin model. This Marklin turntable has featured in previous videos in varying states of repair and function. My friend Oskar undertook a months long dive into is workings and found that a major part of te motor was failing. After some attempts to get around this a new motor was installed with a coupling to the original armature with the manufacturer's gears in place. A new removable housing was 3D printed for the new motor. The solenoid that effected changes in turning direction was removed and an Arduino programed to fulfill that function. Unfortunately the microphone did not pick up Oskar's voice very well when we discussed this and I apologise for the sound quality on that part of the video. Hopefully we are pretty much in business. All the original parts have been saved and the turntable can be easily returned to original but malfunctioning order very quickly.
Hello there, another interesting video, and Oskar has come up with an elegant solution to your problem. Very well done, Regards to all.
It took him months of tinkering with the old motor before he gave up and decided on this approach.
Well done.
Those Arduino boards seem to be pretty popular for all sorts of model railway applications.
A bit hi tech for me and my DC layouts unfortunately.
Great result.
My Tri-ang Turntable is still manual although I do have the motor and switch to install at some point.
Happy Modelling
None of this would have been possible had my much younger - read tech-savvy friend had not got a bee in his bonnet about this and re-engineered this thing from the ground up. It has been the biggest on going headache on this and previous layouts. Once working it is great and adds so much to the operations of the layout.
