Hey Butch, 

Did you ever find anyone that could help you? I am unfamiliar with the new Walthers 90' turntable. I will tell you this. Automatic indexing (that is sending the bridge over to the correct track with the push of a button) is something that most turntable owners and operators complain about. There is reportedly only one system that really works well. It is made by a company called NYRS. I am not sure why Walthers did not just buy their system and market it as theirs, too much money? 

I would focus on getting a loop of track working and something you can enjoy. That turntable can ruin you. I know from experience.
