- The Worktable is ready!
- The First Victim - Oscar's ready to Jam!
- Bend Me!
- First Toy, Open and ready for testing.
- Crap, it's Broken. No sound, no LEDs.
- I'll have to put this one aside for now. Buttons were a pain, so I left them out.
- The Leftovers
- The same circuit board from another toy - this is an older project, note the Magic-Marker Bends already documented.
- This one will have to wait, too - it needs a LOT of work (new enclosure)
- Maybe this one will be better - a VTECH electronic talking Ball.
- Doesn't want to open, so I begin Dremeling the circumfrence to gain access.
- After dremeling the entire circumfrence, it's still a no-go. Time for a V-Section.
- Finally, we have access! Unfortunately, it's a little too modern for me at the moment. This one will have to wait, too :(
- Finally found the right project. A Wild Planet Spy Gear headset - I'll make it work with a standard Composite Video Plug.
- Bend Me!
- Perhaps I can use one of these as the connectors...
- Testing it out...
- It works! But the Red Composite Video Connector isn't quite right. A trip to Radio Shack yields proper connecters, like this 1/8" stereo plug.
- Stereo Plug mounted into a salvaged battery case. Now to ad the composite plug...
- 1/8" Stereo Plug
- Composite Video Plug
- Almost done - just need to connect video plug to stereo 1/8"
- Neg
- Pos
- Video
- Ready for action!
- Plugged in, ready for test.
- I've got power...is there video playing in there?
- I'm playing on a $25 headset!
- Put the battery cover back on with the help of my handy-dandy Dremel™
- Here's how it looks all closed up.
- I can see the Future!
- Here's Michael with his Acoustic instrument build - a three-tone Tube-a built from fax machine Thermal Paper rolls.
- Franz with his Bongos, ready to Bend.
- Gaining Access...
- They're Open!
- Mike spent an hour trying to repair it, and managed to get an LED going, but it's well and b0rked.
- Jason Saunders works on some motors he salvaged from a Scanner.
- Do I cut the blue wire! No, the yellow one!
- That's it! We wound up with two succesful bends. Sorry for breaking your Bongos, Franz!
