Cord at plug of my 7ft Infatable North Pole is frayed can I get a replacement

Question edited for clarity. It looks like it is made by Gemmy.
Question moved to Gemmy category.

Is it this one?


The problem with Gemmy is that 12 months after a release they cease all support as though it never existed!

Please don't just replace items, "because you might as well and it MIGHT fix it".

There is very little practical help, but a few observations and guesses. Does it really have a battery pack? If so they will likely be rechargeable batteries, or you can add a set of Lithium Energizer. However in my experience they are not battery powered but have a mains adapter and a lead. I can guess the lighting, would guess there is a bulb and a motorised colour wheel and a bunch of fibre optic cables going from the base up the pole to the sign. If the 'bulb' is an LED Module, that will be harder, but an incandescent bulb can be tested with a multimeter.

Or take it to a local model shop, they will know a Gemmy repairer.

What is the difference between true north and magnetic north

A compass needle points to the magnetic north pole. The magnetic north pole is currently located in the Baffin Island region of Canada, and from the UK, is west of true north. The horizontal angular difference between True North and Magnetic North is called MAGNETIC VARIATION or DECLINATION.


'N Kompasnaald dui op die magnetiese noordpool. Die magnetiese noordpool is tans in die Baffin Island-streek van Kanada, en van die Verenigde Koninkryk, is wes van die ware noorde. Die horisontale hoekverskil tussen True North en Magnetic North word MAGNETIESE VARIASIE of VERKLARING genoem.

Hello, Dietrich -

I believe North Pole Ltd., maker of North Pole tents, headquartered at one time in the St. Louis, Missouri area (with products manufactured in China) is no longer in business. I found some newspaper articles dated 2012 and 2013 indicating the company had financial problems and went into receivership (bankruptcy.)

However, I did find a blog from 2013, My Favorite Camping Store,

which provided a link to a tent pole replacement business, TentPole Technologies:

Best wishes.

Both the Arctic (North Pole) and the Antarctic (South Pole) are cold because they don't get any direct sunlight. The Sun is always low on the horizon, even in the middle of summer. In winter, the Sun is so far below the horizon that it doesn't come up at all for months at a time.

"Due North," by definition, is the direction towards the earth's north pole; or, visually at night, towards Polaris, the north star. Therefore, compasses generally do NOT point towards due North but, rather, point towards "magnetic north," as the other responder described, which is a variably located at some distance from True North, depending upon where the north-locating compass is situated on our planet. In most circumstances magnetic North is close enough so that people are willing to accept it as North in general terms. However, depending on your location, and upon seasonal changes caused by Earth's wobbling rotation (called precession) true North can be many degrees off from magnetic (from your compass's) North. In those cases true North must be determined using declination charts, which will tell you how many degrees to add or subtract on you compass in order to determine true North by the Magnetic North your compass is pointing to. For example, if magnetic North is 10 degrees west of true North at your compass's location (that is, your compass is actually pointing 10 degrees to the "left" of North), then you would correct by considering the +10-degree bearing point on your compass dial as True North--and, likewise, add 10 degrees to any bearing line you happen to determine using your compass. You have one other way of finding True North, which is celestially, by sighting towards the Pole star, aka Polaris, aka the North Star...that is, providing that the sky is UNcloudy and unsunny enough for the star to be visible. Of course, that only works for those located in the morthern hemisphere. Those south of the equator have a "south pole" star but it is not as accurate as Polaris in the northern hemisphere.

Hi,

If you've had this iron for a while it sounds like the cord may be frayed.
switch it off at the wall and unplug it, check the cord for wear, if the insulation is frayed, torn or broken and there are black burn marks on the cord where you saw sparks then the cord needs to be replaced.
DONT plug the iron back in until the cord is replaced.

Otherwise If there are no breaks or black burn marks on the cord, then your power point may be faulty and needs to be replaced!

I hope this was helpful
