Imagine hearing it while walking in the woods.

I had one of those as a kid in the 80s with the smoking mouth.. I loved the smell of that smoke, like the smell of model train smoke..

I still really want to fix mine. I got him going briefly, but he's missing a couple pieces and an arm.

Hi Randi. Hope things are getting better over there with the power and water and what not. Thank god 2020 is over right? Q. What should I look for to find these electronic versions of these playback devices? Might be fun for in a music box or some other project.

What kind of oil do you use for the smoke and where is it put in the Robot?

Thanks for the vid. Just fixed one up!🎉

Hi Randi. AMAZING job getting that smoke machine fixed. I have the exact same problem. My Magic Mike stopped smoking. So I got on ebay the exact same wire you have there: Master of Clouds 36g Nichrome 80 wire, 100 ft. But I cannot get it to glow at 3v like you did. I can get it to work great at 5v, but we know that the robot operates on 2 batteries. I've tried making all kinds of filaments: longer, shorter, more tightly wound, less tightly wound, etc. And at 3 volts it just barely emits some little smoke, with no glowing whatsoever. Any suggestions?

@RandiRain

Shorter section of wire. Your filament is too long.

​@@RandiRain It worked GREAT!! I used a one-inch long section of nichrome wire to make the filament, and then soldered 2 pieces of wrapping wire to its ends and then connected those to the cables from the power source. It glows really nice and produces quite a bit of smoke, even with used batteries. When I opened the smoke box I didn't get a clean split like you did, it was quite a mess actually. Putting it back together, the two halves were so uneven that they didn't line up and it had lots and lots of gaps at the edges where smoke leaked through. So I sealed all the edges with acrylic plastic putty (used for building plastic model kits). I hope that the wicks don't burn out, because it would be a real pain to open and close that thing again. Long before I discovered your channel last year, I used to repair and restore (and upgrade with new features!!) my old toys from my childhood. Robots, remote control cars, and other battery operated toys. So I truly appreciate what you do. All the time and effort it takes, and the frustrations too!! Great job you do. I truly enjoy your videos.

Great video.... What type of oil do you use for the smoke? Also, mine has those broken antennas as well (terrible design indeed). You should sell some of your homemade parts on eBay or Etsy. I would certainly buy some replacement antennas and possibly some new Wheels. Anyways, great video

Me and my brother had two of the black Magic Mike's when we were kids! I don't remember if they were a 1 or 2 but I definitely remember the smoke!

Where can I get a set of these wheels really fast before Christmas? I have a little boy (3 years old), expecting a toy robot on Christmas morning. I got the robot working but the wheels are all chewed up 😞

i remember when i was a kid i wanted to know what made my sister's ride-on jumper horse make sounds. it had a little saddle pack on it and inside was that record player making horse noises! neat!!

If Toy Story 4 taught me anything, I know where to get one of them talk boxes.

Randy, thought you might enjoy seeing the first electronic programable robot toy from 1956. Called Z-Man the Brain. you can find it on youtube or my channel if you like.

Just fantastic.

Amazing!!! Hahah actually the record of the baby doll is if I remember correctly double sided or it had an equally disturbing laugh along with the creepy cry hahahahha, story time now!! Do you happen to know the "magnatron" or "Toby" robots? My actual all time favourite style of robot, they are the exact thing as magic Mike 2s with the addition of an swinging arm that goes up and fires a weapon they have a record player playing the exact sayings of magic Mike!! They were really popular here the same time magic Mike was out and I saved really hard to get one! When I finally did me and my dad were super excited with the smoking feature... Long story short we ended up frying the little guy with putting in so much oil to make him smoke a lot.. Hahahh he still has oil spots from back then! I will send you a picture 🤣😂🤣😂

@@RandiRain Yes, I remember my grandfather had one in one of his model locomotives, I found it fascinating at the time. But that is more of a toy for adults than a robot that would be running around in a kid's bedroom, possibly without supervision. Since the recent rise of vaping devices people have also used those as smoke generators for props / models, but they are less subtle than the small oil ones.
