Iv found over the years that toys that took C batteries back in the day, the batteries now days aren't exactly the same size as they were then.
I'm gonna need to talk to my therapist after you cut that sticker
I didn't have a choice! :(
@@GadgetBoy I've been there, I don't blame you
For those having to replace the orange round piece in the rotary piece, just replace it with a rubber washer equivalent in size, but you may have to enlarge the hole in the washer a bit. I did with mine just now and it works like new.
That was an option I was considering.
Where would i find the motor for this mine is burnt
You didn't show it shooting pizza...
It can't. The rubber wheel that shoots the pizza isn't rubbery anymore.
@@GadgetBoy how do you replace the rubber wheel? That's my problem with mine as well; super glue applied around it didn't work. Can a new rubber washer be applied?
@@kimberlyroll7238 This project is on hold at the moment, but I have some ideas. I'm considering painting the old wheel with that liquid rubber stuff you can get at the hardware store (it's used for tool handles and such). I just don't have the disposable income to pay 30$ for something I'll only use maybe once or twice.
The guy asked you to fix it, you cut through a sticker and write all over it 😖
I didn't have a choice on the sticker, and it's kind of a tradition to write your name on the inside of something you repair.
@@GadgetBoy noooo
@@GadgetBoy I've repaired HUNDREDS of vintage toys, electronic toys and computers & I have NEVER written my name on them! Your friend wanted to sell that and you lowered he value so much! Believe it or not, online buyers WILL open these old toys up and see if anyone has been in them and messed with them. If your friend gets one of those buyers they WILL be demanding a refund.
@@GadgetBoy To be fair, a heatgun would do the trick :-)
Cool video! Would you mind telling what power supply you were using to test it? I’m about to try to repair my old one I just found.
I should probably do a video on the thing. it's something I picked up at rp Electronics, it's a variable power supply built into a large protoboard.
You didn't show that it worked after putting it back together.
I didn't, because it doesn't.
I’m trying to find a decent/basic variable power supply any advice would be amazing. I’m basically fixing a bunch of my childhood toys.
The one I use, I purchased from RP Electronics.
@@GadgetBoy do you know the model name? They have a few options.

Have you ever had any experience in replacing the rubber piece that goes on the rotary piece that makes contact with the pizza??
I still haven't figured out a good way.
I just replaced the orange round piece on the rotary piece. I replaced it with a rubber washer equivalent in size. I just had to enlarge the hole on the washer to be able to fit. Now this thing shoots at least 6 to 8 feet away again.
After sitting through all that you didn’t even try to fire a pizza!!!!
I tried off camera. The little rubber wheel that throws the pizzas was ruined.
Gadgetboy yeah I have the same problem with mine I guess I have to buy a new one that works.
Dinosaur? So like 1995?😆
You realize that's almost a quarter century ago...
@@GadgetBoy I was six...
Or 7
It's 1989.
Hoooooonkkk
