Dance Dance Revolution Pad Parts

Although what we mostly see are the heavy stainless steel parts of the Dance Dance Revolution amusement machine pads, we don't know for a fact what is inside this DDR interactive machine. Since I have been to the amusement and worked there as a repair personnel, I know what small parts you can find inside and I am telling you that repair parts are really very hard to find.

A good example of the DDR pad parts were the micro switches, those that are almost irreplaceable if you happen to own such an exciting amusement machine. But even that is the case, there are a few remedies and alternative parts you can use for this problem. One is to use small micro switch with very long levers.

Yes, they can be used to replace if you have a defective DDR pad in your hands. How you will do the replacement is yet another issue to tackle. This is also where your innovation will come. The imagination and natural technician's instinct. If you don't have it, then you will have to resort to repair your DDR pads by ordering either to Taiwan or China the exact replacement parts.

Amusement Machine Gears and Bearings

Gears and Bearings- Hard-to-Find Spare Parts



One of the very hard to find amusement machine parts are the amusement machine gears and bearings. Usually these types of parts are replaceable but to an extent only of knowing that they are totally worn out or used up. Many of these amusement machine parts although replaceable are very hard to repair because you have to make your own remedy to the problem caused by worn out gears or bearings. In the Philippines alone, there are a lot of amusement centers that have this very same problem to handle each day and all the amusement technicians can do in this situation is to go find a replacement part that would suffice if not fit as class A replacement parts.

Remedying the Unavailability of Spare Parts



Some of the best remedies to this problem is to go looking for replacement parts but if you cannot find them out in the market, most amusement technicians would rather refer to custom makers and fabricators available in the most hard-to-find places. Resourcefulness is the issue here. The best technicians will always have a remedy that could result to permanent makeover for the damaged amusement machines.

Gears and Bearings - A Common Problem to Repairs



Most common amusement machines that are usually encountered to have problems with gears and bearings are those pusher-type amusement machines and those that employ or use stepper motors or ordinary motors. These parts of an amusement machine are the most prone to damage and repair as these are the most parts that move almost 24/7 beginning when amusements open stores up to the closing period.

A Prevalent Problem to Amusement Centers



Although this is a prevalent problem to many amusement parks and centers, still, the management responsible for ordering parts have a hard time getting what their repair men needs. Most parts also would come from Taiwan or China as these parts are very hard to recover due to the fact that some amusement machines in the Philippines is very old and out of date.

Even if this is how it works for many amusement centers, still the technical department of amusements are not loosing hopes that the management will give bigger consideration not only to the efforts of the technicians but also for their replacement parts search. Spare parts are the most important integral part of any amusement and therefore the people behind the repair industry should be given prompt income out of their profession contrary to what they are receiving these days.

Sonic Blastman Amusement Machine

Let me first build up a sort of a backgrounder to one of the oldest yet one of the biggest profiteering amusement machine there is in most amusement centers here in the Philippines. The Sonic Blastman is a punching machine that has a punching pad where the amusement visitor gets to enjoy punching for three times to achieve high scores. The basis for the high score is that you have to punch the pad as strong as you can in order to get the highest possible score and defeat the villain in the picture on the monitors.

There are actually 5 levels that you can choose from the settings wherein you can manually select using a button. After selecting the desired level which is also corresponding to the degree of difficulty of the play or game, you get 3 punches to overpass the score posted above. To be able to defeat the villain or surpass the obstacle in the game, you have to defeat the high score which is preset by the internal program of the machine.

The Sonic Blastman machine is actually some ego test mostly for boys but some girls also find playing the game pretty absorbing and confidence building. This is the reason why many of the regular amusement park visitors here in the Philippines are enjoying and always looking forward to playing the game.

The most affected part of this machine is the punching pad springs. Once the so called springs break, you can find no more remedy to it. You are obliged to replace it at once.
