Well Randy I have been sitting on some of these switches for 10 years or so. I got them from the owner of JK Hobbies in Bayonne NJ, years after they closed up shop. So who knows how old they are. They could be an earlier version. But, on with the story... I took the path of least resistance and cleaned off where the point rails and the stock rails make contact and Holly jumpen pogo sticks,,,It lives 
The only thing now is that I must have cut an internal jumper that handles the power routing feature because I have a few dead spots.
If I solder in a few jumpers like my temp ones, the whole mess works the way it should... I am going to have to put in a little work on making the cross over look good again. It now has a certain Frankenstein quality to it. But, that's for tomorrow. I only wish I had the paper work on this bunch of turnouts, all this could have been avoided.
