Unfortunately this one looks like it’s not built to last, given the painstaking replacement of the one troublesome gear. Still, it’s awesome to see another of these lovely Santas.

I actually found a bell ringing santa one time back in 2021 at an old goodwill location (now permanently closed) that I used to go to during the holidays. it never worked right sadly, neither of the movements worked, and one of the springs ended up breaking off due to the rust. my dad actually ended up redonating that one later on, so I never saw it again after that lol.

If the batteries drain, it means the movement is fried to continuously very slowly move the motor when not activating. It doesn’t actually move because the mech is putting to much pressure on the motor, but if you were to take the motor out and spin it, it would slowly move. Very common issue on 2013 models. Just a simple replace of the transistor would fix the issue.

@Attackjax123 Honesty, I've never actually tried fixing split gears in these/opening them up. I'm guessing you'd open up the cloth underneath the hat above the character's head to fix the hat gearbox. Because that I know is where it's at. The head movement, you'll probably need to go into the character itself.

I’m actually surprised the gearbox is held together by screws and not some kind of “make repairs a pain in the fluff” glue or plastic clips that become brittle and break after 10 years. Built to last, I guess. I find this very neat how you know this thing inside and out. A lot of the procedures are similar to that of working on a car. Take this apart, take off these screws, move this part aside, take that part off, put new part on, then back together. Now I don’t know if the camera position is intentional, but here’s a tip. Try positioning your phone onto its side and then record. The phone should record the video wide rather than tall, which is usually better suited to KZbin’s normal watch page. As it is now, it’s like a short, but too long so it didn’t work. When it was uploaded KZbin automatically made 2/3rds of the video black to fit the screen in. Then again you may have preferred the height. It doesn’t work too bad here.
@frostbitetheglaceon437929 күн бұрын
It can vary from different animatronics on how they're put together. Road Ripper gearboxes are actually held together with clips, which are faulty because those are like 20 years old or just about. The Raver repaired in the video was a 2011 release one, so the plastic and glue is still quite new. Older Gemmy... yeah, yellowed glue and plastic. lol Aka: be very damn careful. The second paragraph is describing a repair in general pretty much. Yes, the camera was intentional. All I really have is a tripod with light, I couldn't put that in front cause... I sit there. XD Behind would've looked awkward, and be a struggle to have everything on camera. Chose side so everything can be seen (especially full screen and 1080p). That table is also tiny, and mostly my floor would be on frame. Yeah, I could have flipped the video in editing, but I don't believe absolute perfection to get your video across. If it's watchable, helpful, etc. That's all that matters on my end. The top down prospective was inspired by another user "Random Junk Channel" Personally it's the best angle for a repair video. And I want to absolutely do more since it looks great.
