it's amazing how complex kids toys were on the inside back then compared to now, it really is.

god they could honestly use a wash, all 3 of em lol. but i love these guys so much. and i only have this single tape so thats ironic! if you ever need more repair tips, feel free to ask me and id be more then happy to help out!

Awww... These toy's from the 80's truly have an innocence to them~ 👍 My favorite was also Elmo but I also alway's loved Big Bird & Cookie Monster~ 💖 Glad you managed to get your Oscar back up & running or moving up & down in can per say lol~ 😅😅😅😅 Do you enjoy toy's / doll's from the 90's & early 2000 era as well? Just curious~ ✌

You’re welcome blue! Glad I could help! Congrats on scoring the grouchy boi!

Everyone is all together now!!! I'm so happy to see the crew together! Thanks for the video!

I always wondered how Oscar's mechanism worked

Great video as always! can't wait for 2-XL Tuesday!

Oscar party!

One time I found an ideal Big Bird at a Goodwill. Missed out on it however :(

Yay! It's wonderful to see them all together!

I never knew there was a Cookie Monster or Oscar that were released for Big Bird, very fascinating! Do Cookie Monsters cookies detach like clip on and off his body or are they permanently stuck to him?

You did a Great Job Repairing them.... 👍👍👍👍

I was just watching your Tyco VS. Ideal Big Bird video yesterday! These guys are so cute.

Nice glad you could fix him also that’s a bummer that the plastic piece broke but it’s nice that he’s working again.

Omg you finally have one yay!!!

Have you ever use the teddy bear cleaner from Build-A-Bear to clean your plush audio-animatronics I use it all the time and it works amazing and it leaves them so soft and it deodorizes them and sanitizes them

Oscar slowly descending into his can is insanely cute!

I'm glad that you fixed Oscar because you complete the Sesame Street gang except for Elmo.

That was great. Nice collection.

Also I can’t wait for 2-XL Tuesday

Ooooh, love these repair videos!! It’s so interesting to see how these guys work! One question though, how did you get the cigarette smell off of him?

I sprayed him down with this sanitizer called Vital Oxide and it did the trick! Just sprayed it on everything- the can, his fur.... of course, not enough to saturate the fur or on any of the electronics. I let him air out for a few hours outside too. You can still smell it if you get your nose right up to him, but otherwise you'd never know!

Those 2 microswitches you speak of, in this context, are what we call limit switches, because they trigger at each end of the track oscar moves on. Other devices use limit switches too, like floppy disk drives, CD players, and automatic doors. A certain young man who used to be very active within the Teddy Ruxpin on KZread community told me that the mechanism that moves Oscar up and down is very prone to breakages, but since this person made up false stories about other things too, it's difficult to determine whether he was telling the truth or not.

Oh interesting! Thank you for the clarification on that! Having experienced it myself, I can see the mechanism being easily breakable, but I don't feel like that would happen during normal play. Perhaps if someone is rough with the toy yes (like that happened to mine), but probably not from him just going up and down normally.

@@blueoctopede OK, well, if I remember correctly, this particular person was telling me that we new batteries Oscar moves too quickly and the mechanism is likely to break, but as I say, this person tended to make up a lot of stories that had questionable reliability, so it's hard to know for sure from them.

So cool! Thanks

You should remake his original trash can lid that’s still missing, otherwise he’s looking great!

Awesome 👍👍👍👍

You finally got Oscar

I don’t have my book big bird what are you doing? 😂

Well, My guess is Oscar is supposed to smell. He's a grouch. LOL

Omg this is so cool

My mom bought us big bird I believe she still has him

Is big bird made by worlds of wonder? I don’t know about big bird that much.

Do you have any videos on fixing cookie monster? I just recently got one he was a little corroded, but we can’t get him to move.

Do you happen to have any of those pieces that trigger the micro switches or can you possibly make 1 or 2?

ive seen the pull string but the mosty comon problem is it way too fast or slow doe not osund like big birdo n the tlaking plush toy pull stirng 1986 thesame dated the cassette one is

ive never own one myself becouse bay want lotof money that cna aford them the most common problem ive seen on youtube is the part are not movign and but there is sound to big bird but the rest are broekn or need reapir but big bird mostly has more sound
