During an op session earlier this year, a DT400 was turned in as defective.
The right hand throttle knob no longer had the push button functionality and that meant that going from one side to the other didn't work correctly. It seemingly was always pushed as well.
Digitrax no longer repairs the DT400 series throttles (or the UT4 series either, for that matter). Thankfully, the encoders themselves are still sold.
It takes some effort to get it apart, but replacing the encoder was straightforward.
The connection to the battery tabs broke, so I took the opportunity to install a snap connection.
This throttle is fixed and back in service.
