Today we have a subscriber request. This globe was requested by Future Watcher who saw it in Episode 150.
This is a Crystal Visions Dragon snow globe from one of Ally's favorite manufacturers, The San Fransisco Music Box Company.
The base is a castle that appears to be built on a mountain peak. In the center of the castle sits a tall green dragon with his wings outstretched and its tail coiled around a crystal ball that it appears to be protecting. The globe itself had a crescent moon and some stars etched into the glass. The globe has small green and blue glitter.
The globe is missing some water and the water that it left is starting to yellow. The stopper is also partially pulled in on one side causing the dragon to tilt. The music box is seized and will not play.
We open the globe and clean the globe and figurine. We add some Zap-A-Gap around the edges of the figurine which was starting to lift off of the stopper. We use our premixed snow globe water consisting of 65% Water, 5% Alcohol, and 30% Clear Glue. We use the water submersion method to remove the air bubble. Ally upgraded the small blue and green glitter with medium size blue and green hexagon glitter. The music box mechanism looked okay except for some rust on the barrel. We were able to get the mechanism going by manually turning the regulator. We used a few drops of 3-In-1 oil on the spring, regulator, gears, and drum. The mechanism runs well now and plays: Chariots Of Fire
We hope you enjoy this video and learned something if you are planning to repair one.
Thanks for watching!
