    Who has purchased one of these and can give us feedback? I was at my local pusher today and inquired as to if they expected to get any and the feedback from them wasn't good. Received three, one was DOA, one ran roughly, and they never tried the third, just shipped them all back.

    I am somewhat puzzled as the mechanism ran well in the SW9 once the worms were replaced, and these newest mechs already have that change made. Problems with the wires pushing into the light board? Pickup wipers on the sill? Only changes I can think of that may be a source of the problem.

    Good to hear. Have you converted to DCC? I have converted an SW9 using the new board, but was curious about the MT process, as in do the wires just plug in the round connectors?

    I haven't done it myself, but yes, the wires just plug in.

    Cheers,
