Rebuilding a
Nickelodeon
Drum Beater
Device


Reference Materials

   When this device arrived, the center beater would not turn 'off', the right beater valve leaked excessively whether 'on' or 'off' and the left beater made a hissing sound as it turned 'on' or 'off'. Finding and fixing the problems turned out to be quite a challenge and a great learning experience. I hope others will benefit from my discoveries.

Looks Good - What's the Problem?

   Here's the first thing I discovered. This valve was leaking constantly and it appeared that the valve was being activated even though the signal port was closed. The video below shows what I found. This was just one of three problems I found in this valve.


   This next video shows a problem I encountered when removing the second and third bellows. I was able to get the sliver of wood off the block in one piece and glue it back onto the bellows with hide glue.

Since "Player-Care" is an internet business, I prefer that we correspond via E-Mail (click here to fill out the 'Request Form'). However, if I'm not in the middle of some other activity, you can reach me at 732-840-8787. But please understand that during the hours from 8AM-5PM EST (Mon-Sat), I'm generally quite busy. So, I probably won't answer the phone. If you get the answering machine, please leave a detailed message stating the reason for your call. Also, repeat your name and phone number clearly and distinctly. By necessity, I prioritize everything in my life. And, if you call and just leave your name and number, and ask me to call you back, it might be a day or two before I return your call. Why? Because I don't know why you want me to call and I might not be prepared to assist you in an effective and efficient manner. If you leave me an E-Mail address (which I prefer), spell it out phonetically. The more you do to help me, the more I can help you in return. Don't rush. You have four minutes to record your message.
