Club/Track Cleanup & XLR to Alligator Adapter Missing

[Autorama]

I spent some time today cleaning up the track & club area — I took the ceiling patch down and a lot of crap fell on the track — all good now.

I am missing one of the adapters I made for the club. Please let me know if you have it.

Ary,

I took the XLR to alligator clip adapter. I will buy it from you as I need it for my new Difalco controller. I told Rudy I was taking it, so to not think I was stealing it. I am only going to use the XLR connector and pigtails. I will give you back the barrel assy to make a replacement adapter. If you want the whole thing back, let me know and I’ll make a trip to Radio Shack and pick up another male XLR plug.

I vacuumed the track Saturday after everyone left. I also gave Rudy 2 cars that apparently were left under the bench as I didn’t want them to disappear. One was a Scalextric Audi R10(?)and the other was a Dodge Viper.

Jim,

Thanks for letting us know where that went off to. For future reference, Rudy is great but not his responsibility to keep up with that. Just post this to the forum to let everyone know.

The Audi R10 and Viper are the owner’s son’s cars. They just leave them there. Up to them to keep track of them.

Jim,

All good, I just did not know where the adapter was. I remember you mentioning it but I did not know if you had it; I just really wanted to know if someone had taken it (sort of a concern for everything else we have there). It is all good, besides, I had already said that I would make you one so please keep that one. Use the adapter with the alligator clips that normally come on the DiFalco. If you want to take the alligators out I will do that for you but keep in mind that other tracks do not offer an XLR connection (San Antonio is one of them).

The track was not dirty — after I took the patch down, a lot of the dirty from the ceiling fell on the track and I had to clean it. FYI (everybody): The guy that cleans Kings does not clean our area.

Ary,

Thank you for the adapter. I decided against taking it apart and I’m using the alligator clips to adapter method. As mentioned before, I am more than willing to pay you for it. I guess it would be a good idea to keep the Difalco stock in the event I go somewhere else to run and they don’t have the XLR setup.

After re-reading your first post and your latest response, I now understand what you meant by the track being dirty, only after you removed the plastic and all the captured roof debris fell on the track. Thank you for spending your time cleaning up the mess.

Shawn, I was not aware the owner’s son leaves his cars at the track. Next time I’ll know, and not be so concerned.

See you guys tonite,

Jim J.
