New Actuator for Mist Can

After over 9 years of service, the door lock actuator that I use for triggering the mist can started to fail. I opened it up to see if I could fix it, but I ended up making things worse. They are not expensive, so I ordered another. I figured I'd stick with the same mechanism, since it worked well for so long.



I desoldered the connection for the old actuator.



And I soldered the connection for the new actuator.



I tested it in the droid, and it works. It's a little tricky to take a picture of it in action (juggling the transmitter and phone camera), but I'm happy with the results.
