I have a couple caches out there that have greeting card messages in them. Check out GC4TBKR, GC1WTPW, and the archived GC342YX. That last one was near a haunted cemetery and it played the Graveyard Smash when it opened.
Actually quite easy to do. When you take the card apart it is obvious which two wires need to be wired to a switch. I used a micro switch from Radio Shack. Had to weld a little bracket inside the can to hold the switch. The rest of the parts were JB Welded to the inside of the can. The battery last's a long time, but when it does expire, I just attach two AA batteries instead. They will be 3 V in series and are a lot cheaper than the button battery. Have had a lot of good comments about the instant message!!!

I placed a cache about a month ago that uses a musical greeting card (GC5TWA5). It plays the Star Ward theme when the lid is removed. It worked great at first, but now the tab is getting worn out, so it has to be at just the right angle to play the song. Anyone have any advice on how I can make this more substantial? I'd like it to last a long time.

Wow, thanks everyone for the great ideas! I will have to study the suggestions, take a trip to Radio Shack, and see which one will work best for me. My cache is a lock n lock container.
Sorry about re-activating an old post. That was my first forum post so not sure how things are supposed to go. And I think I may have added an extra "reply" by accident...
