    Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince.

      I would like to fix that hole with some epoxy resin and fiberglass stuff that I work with very often. But the problem is that I am in Hungary and I can't travel because of the massive virus problems.

      And inside the motor I don't spray WD40. Instead, I spray Weldtite TF2 teflon spray that I buy at our bicycle shop.

    That Jukepet is definitely going to give me nightmares. And the Dougal was all cute and cuddly until you made him satanic at the end. All you need to do now is make the Coco Pop badge play music from The Exorcist, and you're on to a hat-trick! Apart from that, awesome job, as always! 😉

  • @MichaelBritt23
    @MichaelBritt23 3 года назад +3

    Vince! Don't sell yourself short! The Dougal fix was brilliant. Using body filler and painting it almost the exact color really looked better than I thought it could be. I say go back and paint a little more around the dog to make it even more realistic.

    I have a 'Laughing Bag' toy, a bag with a clown's face on it, and when you press a button it laughs for a few seconds. In the bag is a little mini record-player, almost identical inside to your Jukebox toy, except there is only one record (of the laughing) which is permanently glued in. The mechanism is SO similar that I'm sure it was made by the same company as your toy.

    Body filler and paint are perfectly fine for children to handle once is it is fully cured, it none worst than them eating rocks or dirt off the ground. People nowadays go nuts over food safe and children safe so-called products, Which is a millennial parenting fab, things that were made in my fathers time and in my generation time are fine, we are smart enough to know that most products once fully cure are mostly safe, Hell my dad is in the late '80s and he is still healthier than most kids these days, and that should tell you something

    I would love it if you or 1 of your fans(including me) could find ANYTHING associated with The Thunderbirds/Captain Scarlet/ Fireball XL5/Joe 90 or any of the 60’s “puppet” animation shows of my youth and fix’em up. That would be a hoot! A Subscriber from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦. Ha!, it’s a left-handed Dog. And in Canada, we had “Cocoa Puffs”, which became “Count Chocula”, with a Vampire Avatar.

    • @HimmelsDaemon
      @HimmelsDaemon 3 года назад +1

      Cocoa Puffs (round balls, like Kix or their other cereals) and Count Chocula (shaped and probably should of had 'marshmallows') are both General Mills (Can. Nesquik/Nestlé); Cocoa Pops are Cocoa Krispies, the chocolate Rice Krispies. Though, I think Canada has special less chocolate version.

    @My Mate VINCE you shouldn't use WD40 on Motors, it might work temporarily but harm more than it helps. There is a special Fat for Motors which fixes it permanently. I used WD40 on my Laptop Fan before and it failed again after a while. I cleaned the Fan and the damage caused by WD40 and used special Motor Fat which fixed it and still works today.

    Vince try adding baking soda to super glue to make an instant dry cement. Just use superglue like normal then while holding the parts together sprinkle some baking soda over it to have it dry an harden instantly. You can also slowly build up missing parts/ holes. Best part is its sand able after about 1 minute. I have used this on serval plastics an it always works. Even on broken car dash panel clips.

    edit: ive got the fisherprice music box turntable that works off the same idea as that bank and its shocking how loud they managed to make them and how loud they continue to be even as the plastic ages and becomes brittle, to clean the cone for the music box it needs to be pulled out of a glued position and it makes its age and fragility known while doing so, but yeah speed control on some of the older toys was just a bit lax/nonexistent so they sounded strange

    Hi Vince
    When i was a kid in the 60s i had a toy train ( the American western type) that worked the same way as Dougal.
    As i understand it when the toy hits something, the two wheels underneath work like a differential on a car, and when resistance is met drive swops over from one wheel to the other, and as the wheels can spin on an axis the toy takes off in a different, random direction including reverse.
    My train had flashing lights in the front and cab and was probably made by the same company.
    Ohh the memories!...i still remember me and my dad (long since passed) playing with that train on the rug on Christmas morning.
    Cheers!
    Chris
