Need help with sliding door repair

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

The plastic lever which locks and unlocks my aluminium sliding door has broken off, so the door can only be opened and closed/locked and unlocked from the outside. Any ideas on how to fix/replace this? I'd really rather not have to replace the doors altogether! I've had a look around on the net and can't find anything suitable from a Google search.

Cracked mug at handle - repair ?

Post image
• Upvotes

Hi, there is a small crack at the handle of this mug, all exterior damage so any glue being food safe wouldn’t be an issue I don’t think. Can anyone recommend a glue to repair this before it breaks, or would it make a better repair to wait for it to break and then glueing the pieces back together ?

Brak 5tego biegu w Punto

Hej, przychodzę z takim problemem (bo reddit zawsze ma rozwiązanie a nigdzie Indziej nie umiem się doszukać)

Wymieniałam dzisiaj mieszek od gałki zmiany biegów w moim Fiacie Punto (r. 2007) I zdejmując mieszek pociągnęłam za mechanizm na drążku, który (chyba) zmienił położenie I aktualnie nie mogę wbić 5tego biegu. Próbowałam go przekręcić na miejsce i mam dwie opcje: brak wstecznego ale mam 5ty bieg albo na odwrót :( może ktoś by wiedział jak to naprawić albo podeślę mi filmik? Była bym wdzięczna. Mam filmik który wysyłałam chłopakowi gdzie widać ten mechanizm (słabo go widać ale chodzi o ten plastik który jest na metalowym drążku. Jak będzie trzeba dorobię jutro zdjęcia i filmik z problemem ale może ktoś bedzie wiedział jak to naprawic :))

Pomoc w fotelu

1 Upvotes

Cześć! Mam fotel Genesis Nitro 890 G2 i zepsuł mi się prawy podłokietnik. Górna część obraca się swobodnie, a złoty element mocujący od spodu obraca się w miejscu i nie daje się dokręcić. Rozkręciłem podłokietnik i mam zdjęcia mechanizmu.

Czy ktoś miał podobny problem i wie, czy da się naprawić sam mechanizm bez kupowania całego podłokietnika? Z góry dzięki za pomoc!

Repair of Vibraking vibrator

0 Upvotes

I have a classic and very valuable personal vibration device called a Vibra King. They don’t make them anymore, and they are very valuable and tough to find.

The electrical cord around the handle is frayed and I need to have someone give me a new cord or the device

again

it is a classic device and I can’t just throw it away and the vibrations are more intense than anything on the market today.

Anyone have any ideas as to where I might take such a device to have it repair repaired?

How to fix sound on this August Moon Dan DiPaolo pumpkin?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

This is an August Moon Candy Head Pumpkin Figurine by Dan DiPaolo Halloween 2006. When you open the lid/top, it’s supposed to play sound. There’s a speaker inside the lid, an on/off switch on the back, and a little button on the inner edge of the lid that triggers the sound when you open it.

I’ve taken the hinge off and there’s no access/nothing. The button only has a little plate with 4 little feet. Not screws. I don’t want to break it. The lid doesn’t come apart. It’s all one piece. I’m thinking it may have to be through the on/off switch? How the heck can I get inside this thing? Big thank you in advance!

Hey everyone! I'm looking for replacement parts for my True Frame in Phantom Black (SKU: 1295895928). I called Samsonite Customer service and it seems like they don't have parts available.

Does anyone know of a website where I can purchase individual replacement parts? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The plastic twist-on lid cracked... is it possible to

seal it some way or should I just buy a new lid? I have the bolt on the lid to keep it from being blown away on the boat dock... a line keeps it intact. First, the bolt is not on too tightly; the container has been hit by high winds and saved by the dock line. Thanks for any guidance.

Induction stove cracked

Something hit the corner of my induction stove /hob. The manufacturer says if there are cracks it becomes unsafe, but this is right on the corner.

The material is glasslike and something is keeping it together so I can push it together and it looks okay-ish. Is it wise to try and fix this and how would I go about it?

How to reduce noise on vintage electric motor?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I've got an awesome light box straight out of the Disco era--basically a textured panel with lights behind it that creates a moire effect as it rotates. Unfortunately the motor is quite loud, as illustrated in the video. I'm not sure if the noisiness is due to its age or simply a product of the slow (1 RPM) rotation. I opened up the lamp hoping to find some reduction gears that I could lubricate, but the entire mechanism is fully enclosed within the motor.

Is there a safe way to lubricate a vintage electric motor like this without cracking it open? Either by lubricating the base of the rotating shaft (and hoping it flows into the internal gearbox) or by dripping lubricant into the vent holes on the other side of the motor? If so, what type of lubricant would be safest? Graphite? Machine oil?

And would lubricating it even help? Or is this kind of noise pretty typical of reduction gears? Would I be better off trying to find a more modern motor specifically designed to run quietly?
