I was told the santa took a 9 volt transformer. When I plugged it in. It worked good. Better and more stronger than it ever did. Then it got to the point that he would go off by himself. And then we smelled electric burning. I took him all apart and at the very bottom where he stands there is a printed circuil board. This is the only place where the buring could have come from. When you put your nose right up to it you can smell a very slight electric burn. But visual there is no evidence. When you plug him in he does work. But not very good. And no movement at all.
