To all the DCC experts……
I have a turntable that has a 6 volt dc motor for turning operation.
On existing dc (normal control) I simply use a hand held controller to turn the voltage on and then I keep the controller on a fairly low setting which gives an 'on load' output of around 5.5 to 6.5 volts, which the motor is ok with and the turntable turns at a nice steady speed too. I simply turn down the controller to slow the TT and align the tracks etc.
I am now converting to DCC and will need a static decoder to allow the TT to operate. As I understand it, DCC supplies full voltage (16-18v) all the time and reduces the "On" period to whatever the control speed is set at i.e If 1/3 speed needed then full volts supplied for 1/3 of the time etc.
So, what do you recommend for this 6 volt motor?? What ideas have you?
