Hi,

I fitted conventional pickups on a TEA to power a tail lamp. If I get round to fitting lights to my autoballaster fleet, they'll have a similar pickup. I used veroboard strip and phosphor bronze wire. They can easily be made up before fitting. Couldn't find a way of posting a pic, so it's in Hints and Tips

 

ANother solution to make the wheel live to the axle. Use a small drill slighly larger than the thickness of the insulation and drill a hole through the plastic bush. The push in a piece of copper or nickel-silver wire of the same thickness to connect the wheel to the axle. To make the wire an "interference" fit, I gently squeeze the wire to slightly deform it from round

 

HTH,

Mick

Hi Mick,

Looks good, I'd love to do that, but don't want to deal with or inhale the excess dust, the veroboard is nasty stuff.

Roy
