Teddy Ruxpin Refurb Part 5B - The Real Reason For Stuck Servos
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- A continuation of Part 5, where I had previously looked at a likely cause for Teddy Ruxpin getting stuck servos and how to deal with it. You know, that problem where parts of Teddy's face stop animating. The evidence seemed to support my theory at the time, but I couldn't test for real as I had no genuine stuck servos to look at. In this video, I have that opportunity, and all was not as I had expected. Once again this is taking place with 1985 Worlds of Wonder Teddy Ruxpins.
Thank you for your videos! You helped me fix my childhood Teddy Ruxpin (1st ed) which my mother inexplicably saved for 35 years! The spring that lowers the tape read he’d needed to be bent back into place and I had to loosen his servo motors as well. His bottom mouth motor was a bear (pun intended!). It turns out that somehow over time the friction was so great on the main servo driving shaft, it just wouldn’t budge. I ended up taking apart the white housing as well which has 8 plastic white gears in it, one of which had come dislodged while I was trying to manually loosen the mouth rotor. Because of the way it came apart, I had to reverse engineer how to reassemble them. Good thing I’m an engineer! ⚙️ 🐻
In the end I got him working again! I also used your tape repair video. Again thank you so much, you helped me bring back and enjoy some precious childhood memories today. 😎👍
You helped me so much if my teddy Ruxpin had stuck servos. I think I'm pretty positive that if he's not working right, I can 100% fix him now!!! Thank you so much!!!
"Mother! Mother"
"Teddy? What's wrong?"
*inhales*
"LOOK! THE POTATOES I PLANNED YESTERDA-"
Nice job saving those two teddy ruxpin bears
the one on the right looks adorable :D
very good video thanks for sharing!
How the heck did you push that servo out? I can’t get any of mine out. I know if I can get the house and mouth ones out all I need to do is just turn them to get them unstuck, but I have to be able to get them out first!
Your motor is simply experiencing dead spots. I come across this problem with older toys quite often.
Just disassemble the motor itself, clean the stator and all contacts.:51
11:09 "That motor is being driven in one direction!"
Grubby: I said that...
WTH
💀💀💀💀
can you show us how you do a power supply to these please is it a universal adapter with clips on and which prongs do you clip them onto
also I think its because the wheel gets stuck
8:02 Teddy went from being old to becoming Alvin for a few seconds and then becoming himself xD
8:16 "Okay mom!" - Teddy with no eye contact walking away from his mother 💀💀💀
I have fixed every teddy ruxpin with stuck servos I unscrew one at a time servo cover pull out the black round thing with 3 wires attached . i put a few drops of wd 40 into the servo then cleaned the black thing and the silver thing with alcohol put the black thing with wires and cap back in then worked the thing that should turn back and forth until it starts moving . I just fixed 5 teddy ruxpins in 2 days .I didn't go through any of the long drawn out ordeal you just went through I was fixing these for my mom she collects toys I am 12 years old. You went through a bunch of crap . The original grease dries up and that is why the servos stick.
My teddy has had stuck servos since I had bought him. The seller said his tape played but there was no animation. I ended up taking him apart and tried to move the servos from the outside. That did not work. I went inside the servo to get access the little motor, and removed the very small gear next to the motor's gear. I spun the motor's gear by hand until it resisted my turn or just started to spin. I left it for about 15-20 seconds, so it could get up to full speed, and the servos work flawless now. His servos are very silent. Next is grubby, as soon as I can get the connector for him.
Hello! I was wondering if you could help me in having problems with my Worlds of Wonder Mickey. I had the same problem with the tape playing slowly but when I opened him up I couldn't find the job you turned on Teddy. I was wondering if you could help me I'd really appreciate it.
Near the motor that turns the cassete player
I changed mine but its going up and down i dont know if mine had whatever it is on the one idkw hat it is but its going faster and slower sometimes i dont know if thats bc i messed it up but idk
1:14 did you say tunic or tunip?
I think it's worth it to save teddy ruxpin cassette players I never attempted to fix servos its pretty challenging
I have a Teddy Ruxpin that needs repair. Do you repair them. This has the smaller tape, not the full size tape.
What tape is he playing ?😕😕😕😕
The Day Teddy Met Grubby.
Just so you know, i dont think you can get cpoyright from teddy, if you can, ive never had it, and i post my teddy ruxpin using the tape alot, so i think its ok 👌
Ive had a problem with my teddy well its not too big but it used to happen so When I first turned him on he was working great but then the pitch went down and sometimes it would go back up and then down does this have to do with the motor driving the tape or is it the speed controller? Or is it just me. But other than that he works great he is a 2nd generation by the way.
Thank you for the videos they have been very helpful. I have been trying to get my daughters teddy working and after watching you i'v replaced the drive belts and cassette roller and took the cover off the head to free up the stuck sevros. After getting the rubber wheels to turn i put them back in place and tried a tape. That is when i noticed that both sevros that work the jaws move some even when teddy is not speaking. Have you ever seen that before? When teddy is speaking it seems to be moving as it should with full range of motion but then keeps on moving with less motion until it's his time to speak again. I cleaned one of the sevros but did not make any change. If you have any idea what else to try i would like to try it. Thanks
There is often a little bit of movement. Teddy and Grubby have additional animation movements, reactions to things, and also just to give a hint that they are 'alive'. It shouldn't be more occasional, not a regular continuous back and forth. A small variation in tape speed (even from an old cassette with some wear) that can also cause movement as this affects the control track pulse widths played back from the tape.
demented teddy at 5:56 !!
Hello! This was a very nice video, and I've enjoyed your other ones so far as well. I have a question that's sort of related to this. How did you get the servo motors out and back into the grooves so easily? I've unstuck mine but now I cannot get them back into place on the face frame.
From memory, I think each one can only be pushed in and out from one side. I may have been lucky in the video or maybe I edited out earlier attempts that may have loosened things up.
+workshop1138 Yeah, I can see that. But for my teddy, theres a little built in bump in the center of the groove, which stops it from sliding in all tbe way and now I cannot get them in.
I'm almost afraid to suggest this just in case the plastic has become brittle over the years. But a woodworking G clamp might be an ideal tool for this job (they seem be called C clamps too).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-clamp
You can tighten it slowly, and apply a lot more force to specific areas. Like the back of the grooved socket and the end of the pin, without having to put stress on the rest of the face frame. Maybe use some small pieces of wood to protect the ends of the plastic. Never tried it but should work. Good luck.
+workshop1138 Hey! thank you for the suggestion, I only just saw it now. But yesterday I was able to successfully get them back in!
-5 volts! GOLLY GOLLY!!!! BELOW VOLTAGE!
It sounds like others have already told you what causes the motors to stick, so there's probably no need for me to say anything, but I've heard it said that the lubrication grease in the motors causes problems because over time it migrates to the commutator and prevents the motors from running. What I don't know however is how to lubricate the motors again and clean off any grease from the commutators and any other places where it shouldn't be.
I have bought new similar motors which have plenty of grease already on the commutator. I think that is part of the design. Mabuchi motors have patents on a mildly conductive spark quenching grease. It lists advantages such as reducing wear and prevent arcing from scorching the commutator. The grease doesn't stay clean forever though. Sooner or later it can break down and leaves a charred mess on the wipers. I have another post in this comments section with more on this.
Do you know who the motors in Teddy Ruxpin were made by?

Copyright? I thought Worlds Of Wonder whet bankrupt. I sure you can play the music
Worlds of Wonder was merely a distributor of the toys, they did not own the characters or technology therin
Yea but, meny other brands have owned teddy, like yes entertainment, and backpack toys, and the list may go on, so it might still exist like how I lposted a vid of the show and I got copyright without an impact
The one at my school does not animate or talk
I have that same first generation teddy ruxpin he has the metal cassette player and he works excellent except the servos that allow teddy ruxpin to move his eyes nose and mouth I paid $98.28 for my original first generation teddy ruxpin he grubby and 2006 back pack teddy ruxpin
The one at my school is the one at my school is made by Worlds of wonder but I had a plastic tape deck 3 servos and it would not do anything like if that you have a Teddy Ruxpin at school I was surprised it wasn't me by Playskool cuz it was at school no pun intended
Teddy ruxpin ins school??'Woahhh I wish my year 8 had that TwT
your teddies look so cute!!☺☺☺☺☺☺☺😊
Even I got a teddy ruxpin from eBay !😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
why do you not want to show the soundtrack clearly? we are not watching or playing a copyrighted movie or song. this is just a toy. what is wrong with you?
Well there is still a copyright on the Teddy Ruxpin audio
@@Aeonterborno there isn't, I have meny teddy ruxpin vids, my teddy using the tape, and the show playing, no copyright acts have stricken me
@@Piko_Aibo There is a copyright, just because you've not had your video taken down does not mean there isn't one, I had a Val Doonican video up for four years without issue until one day it was taken down by a manual copyright strike.
DO YOU HAVE GRUBBY TO
