I've fixed Christmas decorations plenty of times, as I live with a Christmas Queen. The batteries might still be bad, so check them in something that works. The next thing could be the switch, or a fuse. Some fuses are not easy to see, but being battery operated, i would say there may not be a fuse. You can check the on off switch with an ohm meter, so if you don't own a multimeter, first I ask you why, then i tell you that your job just got much harder than it could be. Once you verify if the switch works ,and your batteries are good and making good connection, meaning the connections are good and clean, your next step is the motor. The motor can be tested by applying voltage to it. If the motor does not move if you put the correct battery voltage to it, you have your problem. You can try a drop of oil and moving the motor by hand, if that is possible. If you can't fix the motor, you can search for a replacement motor by knowing the voltage you need, and the physical attributes of the motor. Try All Electronics, and there are others who sell surplus parts, so it won't be so easy, but I've done it many times successfully. The key is knowing all you need to know in order to make it work the way it was, or modifying it to work with another motor. Good luck, and Merry Christmas

SOURCE: The Incredible Holiday Light Show will not turn

I was told to put a paper clip or key across both prongs that you plug into the wall. This grounds it out. Then you resync the remote with the black. It worked for me.

We struggled with this just today...finally figured out that you have to twist the small piece right behind the bell on the top of the locomotive.

SOURCE: I have a Newbright Musical Holiday Station

I had a similar problem just after I had the train set for a couple of years. Beleive it or not what I ended up doing was I removed one brush from the tree top tender car (power). It has worked perfectly ever since for the past 5 or more years. Was almost like the power was getting crossed up or something. Good Luck I hope it works.

Fret buzz only on E string. Adjusted truss and action, and still buzz. Some relief when I turn bass knob higher than the rest

This sounds like a worn nut groove. The string is sitting too low. Does the buzz happen all the way up the neck or just on open string?

How to string an electric guitar

I'm writing this tutorial to help new guitarists string their electric guitars.<br /><br />The first step is to purchase some strings from your nearest music store, depending on the type of music you want to play the string gage will be different. If you want to play heavier music such as metal then I suggest using a heavier gage of string. If you want to play calmer music such as indie, or maybe soft rock I suggest a lighter gage.<br /><br />Next make sure and remove <span style="font-weight: bold;">ALL</span> existing strings. The best way to take off the old strings is to simply loosen them up then cut them right in the middle with wire cutters. Then just pull the left end through the tuning knobs, and the right end through the back of the guitar (Note where the strings come out of the back).<br /><br />After you have removed all the strings its time to put on the new ones. Start with the string closest to the top of the guitar. On your string package you can reference by color which string is which. Find your string then run the sharp end through the back of the guitar in the hole relative to the string you are putting in (These holes in the back are the same holes the old strings came out of). Run the string all the way through so that it is pulled tightly into the back. Now place the sharp end of the string through its relative tuning knob at the top of the guitar. You should pull enough through so that when you pull the string up off the neck there is a gap of about one foot. Now turn the tuning knob clockwise until the string is relatively tight against the neck and it has wrapped around the knob 3-5 times. Now cut the excess string that is coming out of the tuning knob but leave about 1 inch in case you want to lower the tuning. <br /><br />Do the same thing for all your strings, then tune them with either a digital tuner or by ear if you can. You can purchase a cheap digital tuner for around $20 at your nearest music store.<br /><br />Enjoy!!

Will volume and tone knobs for a Gibson fit on a Washburn HB30? Is the shaft and spline the same?

Yes, Some gibson electric's have long shaft pot's, they will still fit but you will need to use another nut to adjust the pot's so they do not stick through the body to far. Knobs should fit unless the old gibson's are solid shaft. Then you will need new knobs. Many guitar parts places on net to order standard pots and even wiring kits. Try Allparts, , www.guitarelectronics.com/,, Guitar ******, then www.stewmac.com/

Hi -- my fairly new behringer dr600 reverb box is cutting in and out (in time to its reverb setting) after about an hour of playing. i'm using 2-hour-old batteries! it's pretty psychedelic... but...

Batteries are probably drained... expect maybe four hours on Duracell and Energizer, two hours on Radio Shack batteries. These pedals chew up batteries fast so best to get an adapter... and make sure it is the right one for the pedal.

Battery not holding charge on Alesis transactive pa system. Power cord connected and keeps turning off.

If the battery is old, say three years, it may be worn out. Fully discharging batteries or using them beyond where they have noticeable loss of power results in reverse charging the weakest cell which then often shorts rendering the battery un-rechargeable.

Hey my ax260 strings rattle alot mainly the bass strings? and every time i touch the coil tap knob a ugly sound comes from the amp its not even a year old yet and never been knocked over or droped could...

Strings "rattling" is usually guitar setup. This has to do with string height and POSSIBLY the neck truss rod. For the latter, have a guitar shop set it up for you. Hum from touching a knob is likely a broken ground wire in the cavity of the guitar. Also view videos on YouTube search "Guitar setup"

Daughter received a GPX JM250S Karaoke Party Machine for Christmas and can not get the lyrics to display. I have a CD-G and it is on that setting, but no lyrics.

From the FAQ for this unit:

Make sure that you are in either CDG or AUX mode and then adjust the BRIGHT, CONTRAST, AND V-HOLD knobs, on the back of the unit, if needed

I record and save a scene and it plays back. But if I switch off the device and switch it back on after an hour, the isn't there anymore!!

From page 10 of your user manual:

A scene is a static lighting state. Scenes are stored in the temporary memory, until they are transferred to one of the playback faders. You may create a single scene or a succession of up to 999 steps per Scene.

Make sure you transfer the scene to a playback fader, otherwise the scene is only stored in temporary memory and will be lost when power is turned off.

Kinda dumb but my razorback has three knobs, tone treble and volume, although when i turn any one at a time all the way off the guitar is not silent. Is this normal?

It very well may be. Sometimes the volume is arranged so that it will not go clear down... Hey, it saves the manufacturer a lot of calls saying there is no volume by people who forget to turn the volume up.
