I remember a thread a while back about fixing a set of Samba de Amigo maracas using some easily obtainable parts from the store. One of my maracas seems to not sense heigh propperly so if anyone could help I would be v greatful.

the store in question is Maplin I think. I bought the component from the shop in Preston, fitted it, and the Maraca worked better than the non-broken original.
Unfortunately, the other started acting funny and I think I ****ed the base, so left it. I can't remember the part number, but it was some kind of ultra sound senser
hope this helps -

Incidently, the part Ince mentioned can actually be used to replace the transducers in the third party controllers to improve them.Comment

Nice one. Thanks. Any tips on installing them?Comment

I have just swapped the sensors of one of the maracas for another and I have found out that the problem is not sensor related. I think I will need to open the maracas up to look inside. How do I remove those dodgy 6 way screws?
Update: I think I have managed to narrow the problem down to inside the maracas. I think that there is a loose wire inside of it but I cant open it to find out.Last edited by Resonance; 18-07-2004, 11:19.Comment
