If the Spectrum K4 you bought is in fact only four years old, it is DCC ready.

Carefully pull up to remove the jumper plug (maybe 2 3-pin wires instead) from the 8-pin socket located on the PCB in the Tender. Plug in a decoder of your choice. Example of but a few decoders that can the used: Digitrax DZ143PS, DZ125PS, DZ123PS or like decoder for HO use by any other DCC decoder manufacturer that will fit space available.

No 8-pin socket in the Tender, what is the Bachmann Item No. on the box?
