Installed a TCS decoder (ALD4) in an Atlas SD-60 and it's got an intermittent connection. When I install the shell it sometimes doesn't work once put on the track, taking the shell off and wiggling the decoder board usually fixes the problem until next time.
My question is, I've read you can solder some decoder to make better connections. If so which would I solder on this particular locomotive? Photos below
A - tabs coming through the board?
Or B the 4 tabs at the ends of the decoder that touch the shell?
It's my first one with this problem so I want to make sure before I do anything. Gently pushing down on the decoder at each end does make the light go on and off when it's on track.
Thanks
