I just unearthed my original chrome 2-string E-Bow like BE famously played, setting up my new music "room"/"studio". I haven't played it for 25 years.
Like everything that stops working, I do remember that last time I used it... 25 years ago it worked like a charm.

New 9V battery, no LED light going on, no action, no singing...

I sure would like to have it fixed if somebody does fix them. I have a "new" one too and really never got the hang of it, since it's a single string model.

Anybody doing these?



Product 90012, S/N: S1136

Thanks!... J-D.

*edit;

Well, I did some research, and apparently the internals on an Ebow, at least the two-string chrome ones, are entirely potted in phenolic resin. However, I never took mine apart, so I haven't seen this first hand. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it would appear that when an Ebow conks out, it's really croaked for good.
