Sun, 23 Aug 2020 12:01:06 -0700

I have a tent (Mambo Combo tent) and playhouse like the below picture for my kids with the following dimensions

http://www.amazon.com/Ryans-Room-Mambo-C...

One (1) Clubhouse Tent - 38"W x 28.5"D x 42.5"H

One (1) Dome Tent - 47"W x 47"D x 35"H

Unfortunately,few parts of(i.e. poles and connectors are missing which makes it unusable. The company no longer sells the replacement poles.

I did find other products which has replacement poles but of different dimensions . For example 58" x 48" x 58" High. Not sure if I can still buy this as replacement and if it still would work.

I took this apart to re-attach a sound wire. It was complex and I had to set it aside for a few weeks. Now, I cannot figure out where to attach the sensor for the roller on top as I am re-assembling it. Is there an internal diagram somewhere?

Toy: Ideal Zeroid Robot Light bulb replacement

Ideal Zeroid Robot Light bulb replacement

Hello,

I’ve got a vintage 1977 Ideal Toys Zeroid robot. Star Team variant.

It looks brand new inside and out. Problem is with new batteries it does not light up. I am thinking maybe the bulb is damaged or burned out.

Does anyone know if that bulb can be replaced? Has anyone done this? The upper body where the bulb is seems quite sealed.

Any help appreciated!

Household Item: How to open Thermos' lid?

Hi all,

The lid of my Thermos doesn't work as it should, it has a button to control the flow of liquid and it doesn't work. So I decided to open it up and figure out what's wrong inside. There is no screw, I tried using a knife to open the cap but it didn't helped.

Here is the photo:

Skateboard: My skateboard does not turn right at all

I bought a new skateboard today but it only turns one way. If I try to turn left, it goes to the left, but if I try to turn right, it will go to the left no matter what. I have checked and the 2 big bolts at the bottom near the tracks are facing towards the middle of the board.

Amana Window Air Conditioner: Water building up inside the machine

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 16:36:24 -0700

Hey all,

I have an older wall mounted Amana air conditioner (MODEL NUMBER: AAC121SRA) as my primary air conditioner up at my summer home and i’ve been running it quite a bit recently due to the hot & humid weather (more than I typically have to run it). I went out to the back of my house where the air conditioner is tonight and I noticed an awful stench coming from the air conditioner that I had not noticed before. Upon further investigation I noticed that there was about half of an inch of standing water inside the air conditioner. I looked for (and found) the drainage hole that was supposed to drain all this standing water, and nothing was blocking the hole.

The drainage hole I found was on the bottom right corner on the front of the machine (facing it when you are outside). Is there another drainage hole that I missed that could be clogged? Or is this normal for there to be some water inside the machine?

Thanks in advance. I can provide pictures of the air conditioner at hand if needed. One thing I cannot do is take the air conditioner off of its mount.

Skateboard: Getting rid of paint: Sandpaper or Thinner?

Tue, 25 Jun 2019 01:41:33 -0700

Hi i recently rummaged through my Attic, and i found a great condition Longboard. I want to paint it so i removed the wheels and washed it. After it dried i want to get rid of the old green paint. The paint was kind of translucent, there's wood patterns on the paint.

I sanded it because it was the first thing that made sense. I use a 320 sandpaper. wasted an hour and 1 meter of sandpaper :c and i havent gotten through the paint. The paint seemed thick. I want a Clean Wood finish and paint The Great Waves off Kanagawa on it.

Do I use a rougher sandpaper or a paint thinner?

Teddy Ruxpin: My Teddy Ruxpin does not play cassettes properly, please Help!

Sat, 02 Feb 2019 10:31:24 -0700

Hi,

My Teddy Ruxpin plays the tape and moves its mouth and eyes just fine. However, when Teddy is telling the story he will not produce any sound (or very low in and out static sound) every few seconds. When I tap the volume dial or lean it against something, or just fidget with it , the sound comes back and Teddy is speaking much better. I cannot get him to tell the story audibly for more than a few seconds at a time and without my messing with the dial.

The other issue is sometimes the tape will stop and the cassette deck will open slightly and then I have to close it again.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Or, if he needs repairs I am happy to hear your referrals of places I can bring him to possibly repair these issues.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,

Nicole
