RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted June 25, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hi all, Well, the MERG bits arrived a short while ago. Time to clear off the electronics workbench and get building them ready to fit. Thanks Phil H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil H Wouldn't this question be far better posted on the MERG forum? Rather than a third party forum?? Many MERG members will on their forum offer views/comments/reviews!

RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted June 29, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hi all, So, confirmed using the MERG recommended set up. Kit Number: 79 Turntable Controller (Stepper motor) Kit Number: 79C Turntable Control Pack RS Components Unipolar12Vdc 7.5 deg Stepper Motor (RS ref 440-262) RS Components 250:1 Reduction Gearbox (RS Ref 336-416) Requires a 12v regulated power supply as that is not included in the kit I know I can buy a ready made power supply, but that takes up a lot of space. Ideas appreciated for a more compact power supply. Thanks Phil H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are unlikely to know much about how the MERG stuff works unless they are MERG members. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
