Hi there! Welcome to my channel full of random bits and pieces of my hobbies, interests and technical builds/restoration I thought I'd share with you lot.

Stay tuned for new videos including a collection of all my restored animatronic figures and projects with performances, technical information, and demonstration videos. The more popular the videos are with you all, the more I will try and create 😊

I will also be treating fellow Worlds of Wonder and Playmates Toys fans to REMASTERED audio stories and videos of Teddy Ruxpin, Grubby, Mother Goose, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Cricket, Corky & of course Jill! I’ve spent hours working on converting all my cassettes to digital remastered copies which you’ll all get to enjoy very soon!

I will also be offering my services to diagnose and/or repair any animatronic figures that you may have that you want to see breathe life again. Feel free to email me with any queries :)

Thanks for taking a look and subscribing!

    @@aljenator123cat9 I released this first video with one style of the lyric subtitles and a subscriber mentioned if I could make a slightly clearer way of reading the lyrics for folk. So I made the 2nd video and simply changed the subtitle format. Funnily enough though, this original video has more views anyway lol

    So I was bored and reversed engineered the Walmart Rubies version's gear box they used. 3d print the case and actuator, along with some gears and the 5v motor and limit switches and re use the existing bomb bay door mechanism in the Spirit Trap and voila. Assembly slide into the spirt trap like it belongs there. Add a pedal and you have a remote opening trap.

    Really good sound quality for what you had to work against, but ya know.. I have a hunch that a lot of the wow & flutter ‘just ‘might’ be caused by the pinch roller inside the tape depending on where/how the tapes were stored. The reason I say that is I have some experience with tape cartridge style cassettes.. from 8-track tapes to even the mini carts the late WoW/Playskool Teddy Ruxpin took and I’d say almost always, this type of wow & flutter was caused by the pinch roller being warped somehow.. either by it being kept inside the player and the capstan that moves it being pushed against it in a certain position, created the dent or warp in the rubber, or just the rubber being old and sticky/deteriorated.. something you may want to try is replacing the pinch roller inside the tape with a brand new one if you’re able to find out the exact size of it. That might improve the wow & flutter in the audio/playback quality, if you haven’t yet. 👍🏻 Otherwise, I commend you for taking on this task of digitizing these tapes to the best of your abilities. It’s def not an easy task, that’s for sure. Certainly not something I’d have the patience to deal with, getting into it. Jill is ‘super’ complex. Haha! Gotta say I admire you folks archiving her. Keep up the amazing/good work you and the Clubhouse guy have done!
