      Fred - TPE Dalek Rebuild / Upgrade

      By Mike Aubert · Posted

      Before investigating the issue with the motor(s) running a bit slow, I decided to check if I could get and replace brushes etc. Turns out they are not available for these motors, so Ive been searching and found a complete assembly on Ebay with both motors and quite cheap, so Im waiting for that to arrive before I dismantle the base, and if the new ones check out OK then I may try and mount the entire assembly (less the plastic etc) instead of have the motors mounted in a wooden subframe.     I bought a remote controlled MP3 player a while back. Plan is to be able to play sound files while Im using him on remote control. I loaded up a few basic sound files which I found online and added it in. Its a squeeze but just about fits now that Ive moved some things around!     Its a bit messy as its just a lash-up for testing atm.   I did a quick test with it connected directly to the amp.     Ive not found a lot of good quality sound files to download so I will probably record some of my own using the Martmod. That way the voice will be the same(ish) whether Im speaking live or playing a recording.   One other thing I need to add is a small mixer so that the various things playing into the amp are at roughly the same level.  I could try to adjust the outputs from the various devies( MP3 player, Ipad, Martmod, BT receiver) but it will be easier if I use a mixer with all controls in the same place.   Ive ordered this from Amazon. Quite a neat 4 channel mixer and powered by USB   https://amzn.to/4tzvFJu

      Got the pouch stripe/straps trimmed and glued on. I'll let the glue get some strength today, as I'm out to a couple of meetings. I've made a bit of a rod for my own back with these, as it'll be several hours stitching them on to the front of the pouches. I think it'll be worth it. In the pics below, you can see all of the pouches which will be mounted on the shoulders where the slats would usually be. The stripes run from the bottom of the pouch and up under the lid flap. Hopefully this will be reminiscent of the slats. Painted all the riser blocks matt black.   More later.

      The skirt was sanded and filled and sanded and filled and sanded and filled and sanded   A coat of primer, then more filler and sanding.   Then a coat of white gloss.   The fender is mdf, glued with polyurethane glue then belt sanded. Braced  inside.   Sealed with mdf sealer then primed and gloss coated. Had to sand and recoat as it kept soaking in despite the mdf sealer.
