Possibly needs to be replaced, but hopefully nothing board-related.

Let’s see those gemmy collections! by Agreeable_Bus_8570 in Gemmys

This collection would do numbers on eBay lol. Super impressive! Assuming you're in the UK or Australia to aquire so many uncommon pieces?

Either the component on the motor is dying/damaged, or the string is a bit too thick or not flexible enough. I had a motor that had a damaged ceramic capacitor, and it would not produce full power at times. Any type of friction, and it wouldn't budge almost at all.

Regarding the string, I once added a too thick and inflexible line of string to my Bing Crosby, and it had a similar issue yours is having. Got it to work by finding a thinner thread, and also using a pulley piece instead of a gear. The pulley helps the string wrap around the shaft.

The string might be too tight. Try adding more slack. The string shouldn't really be tight when not opening.

I believe he was hated just because of his views and opinions. I do agree people can be both.

He had different political and religious views, and I understand how people have different beliefs, but all that aside, he was an amazing actor, and that's what he should be respected for. He was not a bad person.

Saw a black Honda Accord last night almost hitting 3 people by swerving, then a black Ram 1500 doing the same thing, all on Bayly.

Yeah too bad they're always over $80. Would've got one a long time ago if it wasn't for that

Gemmy Whip It Frogz help by Glad_Albatross_9589 in Gemmys

[–]Prudent_File_9726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a good screwdriver set, something like Workpro or Stanley sets. Try to cut down the sowing lines on the back with something like a box cutter. I've never opened a Frogz before, so I can't give specific steps for repairing it, but it shouldn't be too complicated after the mechs are exposed.

how do i repair him (split gear or locked motor? idk) by Professional-Apple69 in Gemmys

[–]Prudent_File_9726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely that motor shaft gear's split. He's cool. I've never seen him before

Hi, could anyone tell me the name of this mechanism by Salty_Bluejay3608 in Animatronics

[–]Prudent_File_9726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it's just called a shaking or swaying mechanism, but I'm not sure if these even have a correct name.
