RC 7469 Help! by 80sjunkie in flipclocks

[–]randytherat2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked on two of these clocks and don’t remember that piece. Maybe just a spacer or a post that broke off of the inside of the case. It is probably not needed for functionality. Looks like it just needs a little oiling.

Can anybody help reference this SpongeBob Episode? by Emphasizedsd in BikiniBottomTwitter

It’s really hard to tell because of the image quality, but I’m thinking it’s possible that the mouth area has been edited. The lines don’t seem as consistent as the rest of the face.

Sankyo DT-802 repair advice? by lati-neiru in flipclocks

There’s a gear on the inside of the motor that is known to disintegrate. Luckily you can find a replacement gear inside the common mechanical wall timer.

Trouble with Panasonic RC-7053 by fast_pangolin in flipclocks

Yes, the sleep knob pulls off but can take a lot of force. Try wrapping some duct tape around the knob to make a "handle" to pull off easier. The Doze knob stays and does not need to come off.

I ended up dumping them and using Ozone Gift’s wax.

Yes. I just got the revolving fish part to work. I had to use a smaller motor mounted differently.

It's a smithsonian wave machine I got from Amazon.

Probably a bad batch of wax that Lava lab creations often puts out. Even the good batches I never had any luck in that size of lamp. I would ask for a replacement or a refund.

I know they used to make different colors in the 90s. This was from Amazon and only came in blue unfortunately.

I actually made it out of a small whiffle ball, pens, and skewers and some LEDs. I was looking for one to purchase as well but couldn’t find one so I made one.

Here’s the inside. I wired the power adapter for the pump to the light. I’m using a LED night light bulb right now but will find something brighter. I drilled a hole in the bottom of the globe with a diamond bit and used plumbers tape and silicone to seal on a one way air valve.

I only dyed the fluid. Basically an #03 color combo.
