Power source
I suggest using a 1.5V ac adapter wired into the circuit instead of a battery.
From Jason Mellard:
By the
way, I got a 1.5v adapter from Radio Shack that I
plugged into the wall and attached to the elevator
motor. It works great. Now I can load up to 12 or 15
marbles on the track. It is a 1.5v/3.0v, 300mA AC adapter, product
#273-1654B from Radio Shack. I think it was about
$12.00. They have one that is only 1.5v (you can
switch the one I got from 1.5v to 3.0v). That is
really all you need, 3.0v is too fast. That one is
probably a couple bucks cheaper. I just cut of the
end that you would stick into a casette player or
whatever, stripped some of the plastic off and
connected the wires to the motor. You'll be able to
tell if you connected the wires wrong, because the
elevator will go down instead of up. Then you can
just switch 'em.
