    I dunno why, but I for one find it so satisfying when I or others take old technology and upgrade the parts to make it work as good as or better than new. The new servo motors in this is what reminded me.

    When I tried to take our original one (1985) apart to work on, the brown plastic was very brittle. Yes, I was careful as I’ve “tinkered” on fixing other stuff all my life. Oh well. I could’nt have done the ardino and code thing anyway.

    I'm probably going to sound like a noob saying this, but I wonder if there is a way to change how the mouth moves based upon the amplitude of sound going through. I'd imagine it would possibly make the mouth movements look more realistic.
