Yesterday I worked at my store and I went into the showroom to find the lights and video for the show working, but the characters all sat there with their mouths opened. I figured the air compresser wasn't turn on so I went to tell my GM, and it turns out the air compresser had blown up, or something like that. So the 2-stage characters, and Waverunner, and the moving bench on Jurassic Park are all broken for the time being. I feel also it's gonna take time til they fix up the compresser agian...:ohwell:

Also, the power went out yesterday afternoon as well, few families were in so it was not a big deal, but it was creepy being in the place. So I was told to bring Chuck out to distract kids from being afraid of the dark, so I greeted the families, they left, I went outside and walked down the sidewalk for a few minutes waving to other people in stores. Than 15 minutes later the power came back on, and pretty much after that things went back to normal.

Hey Matt, few suggestions:
1. Turn off main power to compressor (there should be a little power box with a big On/Off handle located somewhere around the compressor) and then go find the circuit breaker for the compressor and turn that off. Then do the same thing in reverse order turning everything back on...breaker first, power box second. This might restart the compressor.
2. With compressors reaching 60+gallons, they have a really small reset button located by the motor, you can try hitting that and see what happens.
3. Last thing is to check the belts, oil distribution, valves, grease leaks...etc...and see if anything is leaking, torn, worn, or broken.

Your tech should be right on this since you have both games and show down. This happeped at my store, I don't remember the cause or problem with the compressor, but we had the Show, Wave Runner, Shootin' Hoops 2k, and Sub Patrol down until it was back up running the next day.
