(...) Mine did the same thing, and I made three changes: - I used a larger (looser) pair of elastics for the head - I shoved the "nose" tube piece in quite a bit further than is depicted in the instructions - I swapped the (technic pin/half length (...)

(...) Well, I encountered that same problem, and found a solution. The head is only held on with a 3L axel with stud, so what you do is take a piece of tape and wrap that piece around twice, sticky side to the axel. What you will notice when you put (...)

| | Destroyer Droid head?
|
|
Hi all. I've got the technic Destroyer Droid, and it's a lovely model, with that great rolling feature. However, the head has a distressing tendency to pop off in the midst of rolling. It's easy enough to fit back on, but it makes the model less (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks Ralph, that's very helpful! I'll go get one ASAP. Seems like everything we got this year takes batteries so it'd be nice to get something running on power :-) Cheers, Heather -- Heather Patey St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada Pirate (...)

(...) Great! It's just like a Mindstorms jack. There is also a "~" symbol next to the 9-12V marking, which means you can supply any polarity you like. They do, after all, have to make it kid-proof! I'd recommend RadioShack 273-1656A. It's a 9V 800mA (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.general)

(...) Thanks Ralph. I took pictures of the jack and the adapter and posted them at the end of the picture set: (URL) jack says "9-12V" next to it. The plug for the adapter looks like any ordinary adapter. The adapter says on it: PRI: 230V - 50 Hz (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.general)

(...) Heather, As far as I know, the transformer has a plug on the end, so you should be able to go to any RadioShack and get a 9V-800mA(or so) adapter. Just be sure to check polarity. Are there any symbols near the jack on the Command Center (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.general)
