Picked up a FWB m90 with a dead trigger. Is there hope to find repair or do I have a paper weight?

When you push the button on the bottom do you get a red light? If not you should try replacing the battery - they are Alkaline and do self discharge over time.

there are no electronic parts for these i checked years ago and if the battery doesn't solve the problem, well you could be in trouble
now i would check the battery if you have a multimeter before buying a battery, if you have a multimeter
the wires mat the battery are stiff and i would say fragile
if the battery has been in there so long that is has rutted away and destroyed the holder, that is another problem
on a UK forum i have read there was someone to fix the board but that is in the UK and hard to say how that would help
anyone that has board repair experience could fix it but find that person is the problem
the batteries are also on Amazon
the only other pair that could be bad is the solenoid but not likely
buying an untested FWB90 is a real gamble

One of my Mod. 90's was a non-working pistol. Got it real cheap because of that. Turned out that someone had the brilliant idea of lubricating the solenoid many years ago. Over time the lubricant dried out and the solenoid got stuck. Just check that the solenoid moves freely and without any resistance. The solenoid must be clean and without any lubricants to work properly. If you're lucky the problem is just that. The solenoid is an absolute pain to pick out and clean without cutting the wires, but it is doable. Or if your not an zealous collector, just cut the wires and solder the wires when the cleaning is done.

And another tip, if you can't find the right battery, search for "15v v74px battery adapter" on eBay. There is a guy in Germany that sells a 3D-printed adapter including 10x LR54 batteries, that fits the Model 90. Or you can buy the adapter that's made for the Morini pistols. But the 3D-printed adapter is a cheaper solution.

I know, it was meant as a tip for those of us that don't live in USA or central EU. I'm located in Norway, and it's actually both faster and cheaper to get the adaptor (which includes 10x LR54 when bought) and then get new LR54 batteries when the equipped ones are worn out.

I have the one in the top link. Works like a charm.
But the adapter in the other link was an interesting. I might have to buy one and give it a test. Thanks for the link.

well not paying attention to where you are in the world made me look to see what i could find close to Norway and it was little
but what i did find i posted
us in the states and even the UK have an easy time to find bits and pieces and forget that others do not have such convinence
but that 15 volt battery is use for different thinks, more than i thought
be well
