I just got given an old Duncan light-up yoyo and was wondering if there is any way to fix the vibe since it’s INSANE. Also if you want to know how much vibe it’s enough to create a standing wave in the string that is about 1.5-2 inches at the peaks/anti-nodes. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/4/8/b480f55201cede80bec498f0468f2e6a66bf1e7c.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/e/e/1eef11806d018231303afc9956ff122cf232e180.jpeg) ---

Try rotating the parts. If it uses a screw and a nut for the axle, just rotate the halves: [How to tune a yo-yo with a hex bolt axle](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,17790.0.html) This will be your best bet if it uses a screw/nut axle. Otherwise, open it up and try moving the parts inside around. ---

Props for using anti-node haha. Go with jhb’s advice. But honestly, you’ve got an old, cheap, plastic yoyo; there’s not a whole lot you can do. ---

I was thinking about throwing tape inside or something, but I was unsure if it would move and constantly screw up more. ---

Yeah, if you can remove the caps then adding a small weight inside is an option. You just need to find the right position.
