Hi all.
Have been working with Brian from
Round Table Platforms to try and troubleshoot the issue with my platform.
I've sent him some pictures and mpeg video using my old digicam to help show him what the problem is.
When I took the cover off the motor, it showed that it was "pulsing" instead of rotating. Brian's response:
Quote:
The motor should be rotating- not pulsing. It could be a wiring short – and the cause for the intermittent problem. Instead of fishing for the problem, I am sending a new circuit board – motor – and two new drive wheels. The second drive wheel is made from aluminum and will make your platform more stable. The WD-40 left on the track must be removed to prevent slipping.
Replace the motor / drive wheel and wire harness first. The new connector to the motor plug will need to be passed through the hole in the control box before the pins are pushed into white plastic housing. If the motor rotates with the cover off- alls well.
The circuit board is probably ok but I will include a replacement anyway. (keep for a spare) If you replace the board and the speed range is off, there is a pot on the board that can be adjusted with a small screw driver for course speed adjustment.
I will include a picture showing the plug pin order and the location of the pot for course speed adjustment.
The parts are going out today. They will be marked warrantee so hopefully customs won’t give you any headaches.

Talk about great service!
Thanks very much Brian! I look forward to receiving the parts and getting busy making it work again!
