I managed to buy a bad loco. It didn't work with the DC power controller it came with but it did work with my EZ Command for a while.
After a while, it stopped working and I smelled smoke from the EZ Command. It should be under warranty, but I didn't keep the receipt so I think I am SOL.
It burned out a resister. Resister R20. I'm not afraid to soldier a new resister in there, but I don't have the values since it burned too much. So I have two questions:
Is anybody willing to open up their good unit (4 phillips screws, lift off the top) and let me know the values for resister R20?
Does Bachmann have a nominal fee for repair of the EZ Command without a warranty or receipt? It's not posted.
I've tried calling them but they are busy right now so I thought I'd see what you all have to say about it.
Thanks.
