Nico Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hi dear robotslovers! sorry for my very bad english but I do my best... I have recently buy a missile robot from Alps but some electric connections are lost. I don't want to connect in a wrong place. Some pieces moves on the robot and I want to refix all in the good place. Somebody have pictures form the inside for this very cool Alps robot to help me? Thanks a lot!

Dirk Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hello NICO - welcome to ALPHADROME! You are a lucky guy - when you have problems with the wires inside - only! Sorry I can't really remember - but I have those pictures from inside. The mechanic is most difficult - for pulling out the rockets. We had nearly everything together - the rockets with those tiny little springs that track the rockets out. The problem was the gear with the chain, that tracks the rockets back + some parts of the rockets are very fragile... I remember, that we refused in the end by trying to repair CLAUS's Missile Robot - we didn't want to damage something. The outside battery box you see in the pics was for testing purposes only.

Nico Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Ho! thank you very much for this pictures! I have 2 major problem... my door is broken in the 2 attach (see pictures) -If somebody have a original door for me, I'm ready to buy it! And I think the motor is bloked... I think a part of the bloc missile is broken? (picture). As you tell : I'm lucky to find yours pictures! I go to compare yours pictures with my robot! Thank you very much. If you have another pics, you can send it... It is very instructive for me! ;o))) Thanks one more time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klotzm1 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Nico - I see your hinge is broken (both of them). This is easy to fix...simply make a piece out of a brass sheet that has the original shape (with the hole) and epoxy it to the broken parts. I have done this type of repair many times on broken plastic parts and it always works (so far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Thank you veru much klotzm1, I wondered exactly if I could (with the epoxy), to redo the missing part. I was afraid that it does not like on the plastic... How fix you the copper (brass sheet)? You redone all the detail or simply the missing piece? How do you fix it? Do you have picture of your job? Thank you veru much! If my robot can repair, wel he is ok, I put a picture on the topics, promised! (with bonus a picture of my collect.. ;o) Soory for my very bad english ;o)) Nico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martijn Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hi roboloco it is the same part thats inside the head of the Alps television spaceman later version, with the bigger TV screen and red dish antenna. I don't know if this switch part has been reproduced, but if you lucky you find a junker tv spaceman and guess what, your lucky I have one:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roboloco Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I have another doubt, hope someone can help me... Anybody knows how to glue a gear? I will post a picture, here goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboloco Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The green plastic gear is from the engine and is loose...how can I glue this, HELP!! thanx in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Looks like your gear has split, common problem with many battery toys. Many places on-line to get replacements I'm sure, maybe best to replace with a tight brass one same size to avoid it happening again although there could be a reason why it is a nylon gear on there. (?) There are expert toy mechanics on here who I'm sure will chime in and give you plenty of ideas of how to repair this. J.R.? Dirk? Welcome to Alphadrome Roboloco. Have fun!

martijn Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 If you can reach it you can take the little gear from your junker tv spaceman, but thats probably a brass one. Plenty white gears on ebay, it will be easy to shift over the axle, just gentle force needed:)please some pictures when you finished! I love this robot!

Dirk Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Yes that gear is done! Like Martijn said, you should easily find the correct gear among a lot like this... http://www.ebay.com/itm/58-style-Plastic-Gears-All-The-Module-0-5-Robot-Part-for-DIY-Car-Model-HM-Shaft/281019118703?rt=nc&_soffid=5011673305&_soffType=OrderSubTotalOffer&_trksid=p5731.m3795 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalRobotHead Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Seeing as this is a valuable robot and to avoid the possibility of having to open it up again, it might be a good idea to fit a high quality gear like this Tamiya reinforced one, I have fitted them and they are seem to be a lot stronger than the white low cost ones, and appear to be the correct amount of teeth and shaft diameter.Tamiya gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
