Tuthill Star Trap drive

Posted By Mark Williams

Hello. I recently acquired a C-8 with a "Tuthill Star Trap" drive. I have absolutely no documentation on this thing (the electronic drive) and I am hoping someone out there might have a schematic or operating and setup instructions for it. The drive will not power up with 110vac power applied which leads me to believe the ac/dc power supply is dead (possibly dried out capacitors). I'm going to attempt to power it with an external 12 v dc supply. Any help or website suggestions would be appreciated. I've done a Google search on everything "Tuthill" (including Roger W. Tuthill) and come up empty.

Thanks,
