  • Here I repair a broken big mouth billy bass that I picked up locally at a thrift store. The head turning movement is not working correctly. Let’s try to fix it!
    To find the correct size gear, count the teeth on the original broken gear, and order accordingly.

    Links for gears:

    9 tooth gear: www.ebay.com/itm/274523502486...

    Bravo! This is exactly what you said it was and sure enough there was the crack. Thanks! I would have NEVER noticed that tiny crack on my own!

    what i did instead is use the original cracked gear but i super glued it to the motor shaft. It's very ghetto but it worked on both Billys

    Mine has the exact same problem as this one, but this video will come in handy to fix mine.
    As a year later, I found out that mine had another broken gear in the head, which is unfortunate. This is a result of it accidentally falling.

    Something pretty ironic happened to me, I found one at a flea market, and the only thing that was broken was the tail, and it wasnt the gear! The tail paddle was cracked.

    Curious if you have an suggestion for fixing a demon voice happening half way through a song. Just a cleaning of the boards or need a new speaker or is it un fixable, thanks!

      What I use sometimes that sometimes helps is some circuit board cleaner. It’s it’s called “QD electronic cleaner” by the company CRC. It’s safe for sensitive electronics and you can get it at your local auto parts store.

    Well this video is helpful but I'm dealing with another issue it's that when he turns his head he stops singing. Otherwise the tail, head and mouth work well. I wonder how you fix this when your Billy bass stops singing when turning his head.

    Sorry for the late comment, but what motor should I buy for a 2004 Billy Bass Jr? I haven't been able to get a lead on where to get one anywhere. All I know is that it has to be 6V DC (brushless too, if that means anything).

    • @lakewi44
      @lakewi44  8 днів тому

      Try looking up Stevens International 1.5 to 3v DC Small Electric Motor (Round Can) they make a bunch of small stuff for Hobby parts and things. I bought a couple of oval-shaped motors a while back ago. Perhaps they have the motor you are looking for

    What if the gear falls of of the shaft and gets stuck in the gearbox

    • @lakewi44
      @lakewi44  2 місяці тому +1

      If you can see it in the gearbox, you can use a precision screwdriver that's of similar size to the motor shaft. to kind of fish it out by poking at the gear and carefully lifting the gear out. It's tricky, but it can be done

      Double check behind the head that the fabric isn't stuck. Sometimes the fabric will get stuck to the plaque.

      Start by putting the skin on the head and line up the mouth with the mouthpiece you might have to oven the mouth a little to lone up the piece and then carefully stretch the skin over the tail mech.
