Thread: Help! My crystal won't stop blinking!

    Default Help! My crystal won't stop blinking!

    Hey Friends,
    Upon changing the batteries, my crystal chamber won't stop blinking. Apparently I'm reassembling it the wrong way. I know the O ring is my issue. As far as I can tell the O ring wraps around the thread. I can't fit it any other way. Any insight will be as always appreciated.

    No. The o-ring goes in before the batteries. Take the batteries out, drop the o-ring in, put the batteries back in and screw on the cap. It's supposed to go between the LED circuit & batteries.

    What is that from? I've never seen that gizmo before.
    Yes, I spell it sabre. I just like it that way.

    Eastern Many thanks! Got it to work but broke the o-ring in the process. Any idea where I can get another one, besides Yoda? Thanks again!

    Yoda's FX crystal chamber.

    How big's the o-ring? might be able to find something in a hardware store, auto parts store or electronics store.

    As long as it still insulates the circuit it should be fine. And you can get o-rings at any hardware store.

    it's the crystal chamber assembly

    Very thin and small. You see it inthe pic. At some point I'll be in touch with Yoda for a project in the works and ask him to send me another one. Many thanks!
