<p id="reply-intro">Assuming that it's a cheap, no-name smoke machine, the internals are usually quite simple. Open it up and take a look.</p>
<p>Clive has made a few videos on cheap smoke machines. One of them is on repairing the common pumps, and another few look inside the (sometimes amusingly) bad designs.</p>

<p>I taken on the project of trying to fix a halloween special of a smoke machine that is around 15 years old. Has any one ever opened a smoke machine up before? Any insights?</p>
<p>This unit was already heading to the scrap pile, so if I do not get it working again, no big lost. Not wanting to spend a lot on this project.</p>
<p>Thank you in advance</p>
