Most people toss it.

So which way is correct?  Input or exhaust.

Maybe I'm going off the deep end, but wasn't this all originally Heisler?  Did the OP edit it all to say Climax? 

Bill that link takes me to a Climax part, not Heisler.

Parts used to have them but like all Bachman stuff, they don't make many parts (as the CEO has said they are not in the parts business) so by the time you know what you need, they are out. I have learned to proactively buy some parts just in case.  Some I may never use but have hoarded (per the wife) just in case.

Greg. Don't leave us hanging...........

I've heard sometimes in the past if they can't repair they ship something else so call and be very direct.

I bought it used but it was in there, I thought.   I'll have to verify now.

My 2nd gen Climax, C19, K27 and 2662 all came with the pigtail board.

I'm not doing anything with Revo so would not need the board, but thanks.

No outcome yet.  I'm thinking and planning ahead.  I have a 440 and was wondering if it would actually be easier. But I'm not sure it would.

I may very well stop posting here due to this horrible verification method.

Yes.

I have not opened it up yet so not sure what to expect. 

Has anyone ever attempted putting one of the newer tender control boards (like a C19) in one of the early Spectrum 440?  I would assume all the wiring would already be there except possibly the power wiring from trucks?

Does Bachmann sell springs only?

I missed that some how. Thanks.
