Yes. You should be able to find all those parts (or equivalent parts) at an electronics store for pretty cheap. It looks like a slight variation of the astable 555 timer circuit I posted a link to in the the thread you started.

Ok thanks. I'm going to stop by Electronics Warehouse Friday morning after work and show them the picture and see what I come up with. I have a mojo but would like to see if I could build a spare one just for fun.

Well no luck at the electronics store. The guy there didn't seem to want to help me much and just said that the large rectangle part was custom made for that decoy wether or not what he said was true. Not that I need another mojo I just like to figure out how these things tick. If you guys find anything else out let me know.

go to goodwill or salvation army and look for dogs that walk and then stop then walk again. Or something like the monkey that clangs the symbols then stops for a few seconds then starts again. Then take apart and use that circuit board for your project. Hook the wires from their motor onto yours and your ready to go with a battery pack and an on off switch. You can pick them up for likE under 2$.

The circuit board (large rectangle part) was custom made for the decoy, but you should be able to pick up the components (or comparable components) at most stores with a Radio Shack-like inventory. You would need to get a perf board and some jumper wire to build the circuit yourself. If you give me a few days I could probably draw up a schematic of a circuit (like the one in the picture) and give you a list of the components you would need to get at the electronics store. By the way does A.V. stand for Antelope Valley?

Dwise, thanks for getting that stuff together. A.V. is for Apple Valley. I'm a high desert rat.

I was excited a couple weeks ago to purchase my first mojo critter! Second time out, the rod snapped off the bottom. Now it is a Nogo critter. I e-mailed mojo and they have not yet responded a week later. I am not real pleased with their customer service so far. I really thought a company with so many people talking them up would back it up with top notch customer service. Just ordered the woodpecker from tripleoddbuck.com with my new FX3 en route. Guess I can count on using the $45 mojo platform to build my own. Very discouraging. They will not get any more of my business. If I have to repair it myself after 2 outings, I will start building my own as well. Thanks for the input fellas.

Emails are "iffy" at best. They can get tossed into the spam folder, overlooked, etc.

I know from experience that they are very concerned about customer service. They first have to know of the problem to address it, as with any manufacturer.

I bought mine off of Ebay and the seller was an authorized dealer for Mojo. They made a call followed up by an email and Mojo sent out a replacement
one real quick.

After futher use (and repairs) I've decided the Mojo is a very nice design. Now they need to produce them in the USA and raise the price $20 if thats what it takes. I'd be happy to pay it. Maybe its just me but I'm about ready to puke the next time I see a "Made In China" label. And we wonder why they break and our economy sucks.

Hey dwise, you can buy the timer. Just go to the mojo web site and select the decoy parts link.

dwise, The LM555 IC should work if you want to build your own timer.

i think it sucks that you pay $40 for something and then have to fix or re-design it right out of the box. i wont be buying one anytime soon.

Definitely Greyhunter! Anything mechanical can break, but I sure wouldn't mind getting mine repaired if it was made in the U.S.A. I have a jack in the box & it's too big & too heavy. The mojo is cool, but bad strength design. Raise the price and make it the U.S.A.!

After reading this thread. I know I won't be buying a Mojo critter. No matter where it's made. I can't stand to see a company sell a product they know has a problem.
