Teddy Ruxpin Refurb Part 3 - Cassette Drive Belt Replacement

[@PaulDostal]

Thank you for this video. I purchased a Teddy Ruxpin a few weeks ago, and I recently received a tape to test with and discovered that the motor doesn’t spin well. I think it’s the belts, so I will give it a try and see.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel8319]

Thanks to you I successfully replaced my Teddy's drive belt and now he’s finally working again!

[@ronaldhenson3379]

Hi thank you your video helped me fix my original 1985 first generation teddy ruxpin he works excellent and his eyes and mouth move up and down i gently moved his eyes and mouth up and down i helped all three servos get connection and he works excellent

[@wandering-jedi-kenobi]

Awww! Your grubby is adorable!

[@muppetfreak1000]

I collect teddy Ruxpins too and grubbys and all the other talking toys by worlds of wonder I love your videos 😊

[@WizardClipAudio]

Dude,….. thank you so much,… I knew I had seen this video previously, and am stuck on trying to diagnose what’s preventing power from getting to the board, on a Rev E model, after eliminating that the pot switch on the back wasn’t the culprit, try to get to the tape door sensor to either fix or bypass it altogether, and got stuck on getting the plastic housing apart. Aside from the necessary repairs, it is superficially in otherwise near mint condition, and was afraid of breaking that tape head cover tab, but now I know, that’s basically the only way.

what is the size of the pressure roller of the cassette player!?

[@teddyruxpinchannel4906]

8:50 this could be a meme And is the best thing i ever seen

[@Animatronic_cave_2288]

What size is the drive belt

[@LoralynWillis-do8yl]

Where do you get the drive belts for the cassette player

[@ronaldhenson3379]

Nice job saving saving that original 1985 first generation teddy ruxpin

[@raysharp9742]

Great Video. Thank you for a great guide on how to fix TR. I just wondered if you could help with the Red wire form the motor as it has come of thievery small PCB and i cannot see where to solder it back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@7ygftu5yi6]

hi friend what is the size of the teddy strap belts for plastic teddy!?

[@coltlowe1121]

Sir. where did you buy the drive belts for the Metal Back Teddy ruxpin? I have looked every where. please help. thanks. Colt

[@workshop-pw9qz]

I did a search on ebay for "44mm drive belt" or "32mm drive belt". You may have to settle for something close or wait a while till the correct size is listed. Make sure that the cross section is roughly 1mm (I got 1.1). Up to 1.2mm is probably OK. Good luck

[@teddyruxpinchannel4906]

Can you also do a 43,5 mm belt for the plastic tapeplayer teddy??

[@supremeshortness]

I love this channel ❤️

[@MaggiePictures]

Again, thank you so much. This video is very helpful.

[@danaallen499]

Where can you purchase the drive belts for the 'metal' cassette player and the plastic player as well. These are very hard to find. Thank you for the help1

[@vinderaad7347]

umm im not sure just by reading your comment ebay might have some. try them if you havent allrready found them

[@garnettatkins5823]

if you have a diagram of the teddy ruxpin with the metal tape deck could you show it as i have lost mine and i have no idea how to reconnect. Thanks

[@gagiludzky7365]

I have a teddy whose cassette left wheel turns, Sometimes I can get cassettes to work for a brief second but then they do nothing. Any ideas?

[@inspiredfigmentsarchives]

Two pins located near the take-up spindle on the back, above the white gear that turns it. When it gets dirty, it fails to sense that the reel is moving (it constantly pushing the pins back & forth to send an electrical pulse as it moves is how it senses this) , hence why it goes into auto-stop if it doesnt. Get some isopropyl alcohol and/or (depending on the condition of the pins) some white vinegar and clean any dirt or corrosion off. Should work fine after that.

[@inspiredfigmentsarchives]

Another thing to check is the yellow wire located tear the metal tab above the pulley that runs the tape deck. Check to make sure that has a solid soldered connection. That can also cause the playback not to work properly.

[@inspiredfigmentsarchives]

If those two things don’t work. Push/bend the pins slightly towards to the right towards the diamond shape on the gear that helps move the pins. May be that it’s just not getting a good enough connection. Hope this helps. Let me know if you get it working after that.

[@gagiludzky7365]

@@inspiredfigmentsarchives I will try all you suggested. TY very much.

[@muppetfreak1000]

And omg that grubby joke was hilarious!

[@RealRoseus]

my grubby really ate my rubber band bracelet... true.. i freaked out.... but it made me laugh so hard

[@MaggiePictures]

By the way, like I've said, I have a teddy Ruxpin doll too from 1985. He's version one with the metal cassette and his upper mouth fell off and I put it back on temporarily but I don't know if I have to take him apart and glue it back on. What should I do?

[@PaulDostal]

I replaced the belts on mine because they were worn out and not working. The player now works but it’s running fast. Could the belts I used be the wrong size? I thought they were the same size, but maybe not?

[@LucasTronix]

So it's not the belts it's the speedmdial

[@PaulDostal]

@ I ended up replacing the pinch roller and it helped a lot.

Good question id like it know???

[@deborahdecker7686]

I watched you replacing the belt on teddy Ruxpin and I surprised myself by replacing the drive belt. I have the ivory color cassette but i still have no power. I put in new batteries and steel wooled the connectors. How can i test it that it is getting power and what else might you suggest. I put it away with no batteries and it worked some 30 years ago? Thank you for you help

[@pascalpiers3215]

I'm not a professional, but I remember my father (a mechanic) often using a tool on batteries to tell if they had power, and he used it on my Furby once to see if it was still working. Maybe try something like that?

[@johnzynda8167]

Hello I have a 2nd generation TR with a plastic cassette deck. Where can I get the drive belts?

[@avacrossing1449]

Ebay?

[@juliam216]

Wondering the same thing lol

[@juliam216]

I also have a 2nd gen

[@supremeshortness]

I have a teddy but it won't move its moth I think the drive belt has been disconnected from the moto

[@mythomaschannelmythomascha2593]

Why is the 2 servo one have the foam exposed

[@stevesmith384]

I have a 1983 2 ervo Teddy Ruxpin and the eye servo is constantly operating in an erratic manner, any ideas what it could be?

[@poolord8427]

My understanding is that Teddy's twitch may be the result of the potentiometer in the motor failing, and as far as I know, the only fixes for that are to rebuild or replace the problem servo. The potentiometer feeds back the approximate position of the mouth to the electronics, and when it starts to fail, you get that twitching, because it doesn't know quite where it is anymore.

[@jaydenm7679]

I have a 1985 teddy ruxpin and a YES teddy ruxpin

My mickey wont stay on and his casette player wont work, can anyone help?

[@avacrossing1449]

@Olivia Collier-Sadoski that sucks:( thanks you for keeping me updated in the future:)

[@avacrossing1449]

@Olivia Collier-Sadoski I opened him up, I think he has the same problem as yours! Mine wont turn the tape either, he only had the power to do it once, Ill buy a new curcut board:)

[@inspiredfigmentsarchives]

Not the circuit board… it’s two pins in the cassette player near the gears that drive the spindle/take-up reel. Clean those and make sure they’re both bent to the right near where they fit the diamond shaped piece that spins as it plays. That’s how it senses the tape is still playing vs the auto-stop function.

[@ronaldhenson3379]

That's the third generation teddy ruxpin he has the hinged swing down door he has two servos the first generation has the metal cassette player and 3 servos the second generation has the plastic tape player and three servos
