It uses a Ribbon Cable system Paul, ironically like those found on computers.
The cables to the motor controlling circuit boards (there are two which interconnect) are also linked by ribbon cables but take their supply directly from their own tapping on the transformer not from the "motherboard" which differs somewhat from the Beaulieu design which sends an entire cable harness of quite some proportion through a hole in the main casting and into the wide lower cast base which houses the amplifier section.
The plugs can very easily be accidentally slotted incorrectly by one position. Care has to be taken at all times when re assembling the boards and you really do need to label everything well when dismantling these I've found lol.
There is also another small circuit board close to the digital counter which acts as a microprocessor for controlling the frame accurate start and stop movements on the T610.
The T600 I'd expect to have a much simplified version of this and probably no actual motor controlling circuit boards although having never owned one, I'm merely speculating regarding this detail.
I cannot think of any need or indeed benefit from having such a board fitted anyhow.
All boards on the T610 are protected by their own fuses, that's the good news! 😂
The Elmo GS 1200 is without doubt more modular in its build design both mechanically and electronically seemingly.
As said on countless occasions, Elmo DID get many many aspects of their design spot on, especially on the GS 1200.
For the few let downs, well you know my views on those.
