* New Product Update *

We are always looking for ways to better our products and have some exciting news.

In the process of incorporating a motor mount into the lower support brace, we have made some improvements on our original design.

1) All Aluminum Construction

Lighter weight, & impervious to humidity changes 

(except for inner pit ledge that the track sets on which is still 1/2" Baltic Birch)

2) Integrated Motor Mount in Lower Support Bracket

(Allows easy belt tensioning)

 3) 8 -Welded Mounting Tabs around outside of pit wall

(Allows easy mounting & Easy Upgrading from older Turntables)

 

 What this means for our customers is that the turntable is lighter than before and  can be installed easier by an individual. The mounting flanges allow the turntable to be mounted from underneath

the benchwork with only a round hole for the pit to fit up into. If a plywood top is desired we can mount a 1/2" Baltic Birch top to the flanges prior to shipping. This new design also allows people who have

 an old  turntable to buy our turntable and  do not have to disturb  their layout or scenery surrounding their existing turntable.

Just trace the outline of the pit onto the layout from above and cut the new hole with a jigsaw. Then mount the new turntable from beneath your plywood top and your done!

We think this new design is a win win all the way around and very please to offer this to you at the same price of our original design.

* Notice *

 If your Bowser turntable is an older model with small drive wheel clamp & bridge bushing we recommend replacing them with the newer style available from Bowser.

Also check that you center pit bushing is not worn out. Some customers had to replace this part also, due to wear.

If these parts are worn out you will still have play in your turntable bridge after your upgrade is installed.
