Jolodo posted:Read your problem and manual cure for the balloon ride I also have the accessory and it has now started to malfunction. It does not reverse when the balloon reaches the station. However, I can get it to reverse by regulating the power from the transformer. If I play with the power ,lower to higher, the balloon will reverse and move up. Any idea what the problem might be??
Two micro switches inside the gear box control the motor direction. It appears that one or the other is triggered by changes in the tension of the ballon support line (not sure about this). Cycling the power may have the same effect in your case.
The micro switches have adjustment screws which I was never able to adjust properly. (This requires opening the gear box, which is tricky.)

If you mean external to the gear box, I think this would require wiring a reverse switch at each limit of balloon travel.
