Can you repair my Paia Gnome?

Yes, I have a Paia Gnome that needs repair. I have looked at everything and visually everything looks fine. Faint sounds can be heard when the trigger button is pushed. I have strong suspicions that it may work fully if repaired, because one time when I had it open I heard a clear oscillator sound, perfectly loud and it sounded good. Can anyone repair this for me for a reasonable price? I'm totally destitute but would probably pay $15 or $20 for a repair and shipping both ways. Thanks for lookin'.

This is a Gnome:

Sure, why not?

I restored a Gnome a few years ago for a friend.

PM me and we'll set something up.

I built one from a kit back in the 70's when Paia first released it (as well as many of the other Paia kits). But, I don't think that I still have it anymore. It may have not survived the cut list of thinks I needed to take with me during my latest household move. Crying or Very sad

But, it sounds like your repair may be very simple... Good luck Exclamation
