Actually, it's not! The built-in contacts on the underside of the
plastic throwbar are the problem as they hit both the + and the minus
rail at the same time, causing the short. The slow motion motor just
brought the problem up to where I had to deal with it. I just
eliminated the contacts and the plastic throwbar. Made a new totally
insulated throwbar and then after gapping the frog area was back in
business. I still might have a couple of those #6's without the mods
but they are either manual or twin coil throws which is fast enough to
not activate the circuit breakers.
