This motorized snow globe sculpture was having mechanical issues when turned on. There was evidence of fluid leaking from the globe. Upon closer inspection after draining all liquid, OnAim determined that all hoses and pumps/motors would have to be replaced, partly due to normal wear and tear.

Using the original manual from the fabrication of the snowglobe, OnAim was able to source and replace the damaged parts as well as follow the electrical and mechanical schematic to reconnect everything back in its place. All of the electrical components were working properly and kept original. No changes were made to the original design.

Once the mechanics were sealed and deemed leak-proof, fluid was poured back into the globe. The outside of the sphere was cleaned with acrylic plastic cleaner and subsequently polished with a two part polishing system.
