FAQs
Can I use this for heavy die-cast models?
The turntable has a maximum weight capacity of 120g. If your model exceeds this, it may damage the motor or prevent rotation.
Is the polystyrene dome UV resistant?
While the dome is clear and protective, it is not specifically rated for UV filtration. Avoid placing the unit in direct, harsh sunlight to prevent potential yellowing over time.
How long does the battery last?
Battery life depends on the brand of battery and the weight of the model, but generally provides several days of continuous operation.
Is the dome detachable?
Yes, the dome is a separate piece that lifts off the base, allowing for easy access to your model.
Can I stack more than two units?
The unit is designed to be stackable; however, ensure the stack is stable and placed on a level surface to prevent toppling.
Does the turntable make noise while running?
The motor is designed for quiet operation, producing only a very faint mechanical sound suitable for a display setting.
Troubleshooting
Turntable is not rotating
Check that the battery is installed correctly and that it has a full charge. Ensure no debris is caught in the base mechanism.
Rotation seems jerky or uneven
Verify that the model is centered on the platform. If the weight is off-balance or exceeds 120g, the motor may struggle to rotate smoothly.
The dome is scuffed or dusty
Gently clean with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid water if possible, or use a very lightly dampened cloth with mild soapy water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the unit is placed on a level surface to maintain steady rotation. Open the battery compartment on the underside of the base and insert one AA battery, noting the correct polarity. Place your model onto the mirrored center, then gently lower the polystyrene dome over the base until it sits flush.
For cleaning, use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to wipe the dome. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can scratch or cloud the polystyrene material. If the turntable is not in use for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the AA battery to prevent potential leakage or corrosion.
