Installations |
| |
I would like this page to feature many and varied installations
of the synch disc system but for this to happen I need you help. As an
incentive if you send me some pictures of your installation and a brief
write up I can use then you can have you next synch disk for free. You
can find our e-mail address on the contacts page. |
| |
At launch time we have just two installations to show you. Hopefully
this list will grow
Please let us know how you get on with your installations

Mountain Model Imports -
Inboard Cylinder K27 |
| |
This otherwise superb model came with a very suspect sound system
and a very poor cam. The cam is easily replaced with a Synch Disc and
when hooked up to a Tsunami makes for great sound. I have done two of
these engines now with the Synch Disc and whilst the method was
virtually identical there were slight differences. This engine uses the
4mm Axle cam. |

 For
the first engine I did I dropped the wheels out of the frames to make
taking pictures easier.
Also the first engine was an 0n3 model with all wheels flanged so I
actually swapped axles 1 & 2 over to place the now not used original cam
in the leading position.
This picture shows the four disc sections clamped around the axle
with the assembly wires. |

 This
view shows the disc in place. I actually touched this one with a dab of
145' solder to hold the disc sections together and then removed the
wires.The magnets have been glued into place with cyanoacrylate [Dr
Mikes] glue |

 In
this view the reed has been soldered to a section of circuit board tie
[sleeper] which has been glues to the motion bracket frame stretcher.
The green wire is connected to one side of the reed and the black
wire to the other. The green goes to the tan wire on the Tsunami and the
black is one side of the power pickup.
For the 0n30 version the 2nd axle is flangeless so you cant do a
swap. Instead I fitted the clever disc on the lead axle and mounted the
reed the same way but facing forward.
Once assembled I adjusted the gap between the magnets and the reed by
just easing it up an down. Once all is working the disc is secured to
the axle with a dab of Dr Mikes. |

H0n3 K36 |
|
|
 This
is the work of one of my customers who did this installation of a 2.5mm
Synch Disc in his H0n3 K36 whilst helping proof read the instructions.
The disc is on the back axle and the reed is connected to the frames at
one end and the black wire at the other.
It all fits nice and snugly here and the sound synchronises nicely
although there is sometimes a slight hiccup when passing over a Kadee
magnet. |
