Come to think of it after experiencing with head motors on lifesizes, I don't think you really needed to completely take him apart in the first place. I think all you had to do was locate the motor on the shoulders, take it out and replace it.

On the dancing ones, you actually do have to take it apart because the only way to access the screws to remove the motor to completely flip the head mechanism over. I’ve repaired tons of lifesize Gemmy animatronics and when I had to replace the belt for my Dancing Santa’s head, I had to remove the body shell and everything so I could replace the belt.

The dancing motor started smoking and went out on my Santa. I found a replacement motor that fit perfectly but needed 12v, so I also put in a power boost to up it to 12v. It still didn't work. When I tested the output voltage from the cable (blue and green wires) on Santa, I am getting less than 1v when it peaks. What should the output voltage be on Santa's cable? Any help is appreciated.

My motor isn’t turning for the dance feature. Any suggestions? And the head moves to the left and not to the right. And the lip moves sometimes.

On the neck motor you are working on underneath is a bigger motor ran by a belt that moves his arms and body mine is blown out what size motor do I ask for does your motor say what size it is I know it's a 9 volt dc but what speed do I get .

@bigsad4767 3 жыл бұрын

It’s either the gears or the motor. Take of the head and see if see something is spinning, if so yo7 have a broken gear.

@camiloobandomartinez8392 3 жыл бұрын

Split gear or fried motor

Just got our Santa out this year and he starts to sing and dance, as he should, then about 30 seconds later, he just stops. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

@MarkFisk1 5 жыл бұрын

Make sure you are using the correct transformer. It not only needs to be the right voltage but also enough amps....probably 1.5A or 2A

@camiloobandomartinez8392 3 жыл бұрын

9v 1.5A Maybe he got fried
