[@Vermilicious]

Featuring skinning and beheading of a puppy. Lovely.

your son is sooo lucky he has unlimited tech support and warranties on all his electronics.

I had the Tomy when I was a child. In Italy it was marketed as "Tricky Traps" which I think sounds better than "Aaaaaaaagh". I loved it! I'm 37 now. Where did the life go?

[@marcdmv]

In Spain it was also branded as Tricky Traps! I still have it at home and it works perfectly 😄 I'm 31 years old btw

[@JonPadfield]

I had this toy too when I was young... Turn 40 in Feb - where did time go indeed! 🤔

[@craigsutton4903]

It was also called trip over traps

[@marcioandre83]

My younger sister had a dog like this variant I remember she got tired of it and made an autopsy of it. She was only 5 at the time nice memories.

[@StezStixFix]

"Let's take the head off completely" 😂 Good job as usual, really enjoyed this one 👍

[@Mymatevince]

Haha, yeah this one was quite a bit of fun to fix/film. Cheers Steve.

[@amanbin]

Me imagining Vince being that caring toy repair guy from a toy story movie fixing up toys and making them new again.

[@ralphramirez7815]

There are springs in writing pens you might be able to use

[@gregsdesigns3923]

You're right, i was thinking the same thing.

[@taylty]

The post was broken too so this fix bypassed that.

[@StevenIngram]

Loved the montage of all the toys working in the ending credits. Nice touch. :)

[@ewanwickward8587]

I loved the mantage that happened at the end with the toys, that was great, like the end of a movie! Another great video, Vince, great job!

[@Gassit]

I never suspected I'd ever click on a My Mate Vince video to watch him skin a dog :)

[@pherman8852]

Dude.... that comment almost made me pee; you should be commend sir🤣

[@jondough76]

I love how the dog kept barking as you were flaying it

[@BCProgramming]

My Mate Vince's Veterinary practice: "My Dog can't seem to bark" "Alright well let's take the head off completely"

[@RetroTechRepair]

Great repairs Vince. I love your content. Superbly filmed and edited. Thoroughly entertaining

[@Leonvolt28]

If you ever need a spring in the future. You can take it out of a pen.

[@BigSmoke-s9n]

Then you can’t use the pen.

[@EmelieKerek]

I always get nervous whenever I see a repair video with a toy dog in it. I have a soft spot for cute doggos and it hurts my heart to see them not working in any way. Thank you for always trying to give them a new life!

[@noahandrewsandrews7830]

omg me to I thought I was the only one

[@CompuKonstantin]

Recommendation: You should do a “Trying to fix” on a Reel-To-Reel Tape recorder! I think that would be great!

[@mallatratt36]

70s and 80s electronic toys cost as much in batteries as the toy did .great vid vince

[@skyway73]

Great fun to watch, love that the Matchbox car was made in England. Hard to imagine nowadays!

[@americanmultigenic]

The dog toy was surprisingly effective when repaired! Great video! Thanks.

[@Stubear22374]

A matchbox car as old as me I was born in 1979 fantastic to see the electronics from my era still working, unlike my knees and back

[@TheWeeManC]

Thanks for the memories....I had the Tomy Arggggggggg machine......anger memory's come flooding back lol 😉😂

[@mickholling6819]

Vince. I have a lot of subscriptions. I am a retired electronics repair man. And I have to say keep it up son it's great stuff.

[@terminationshock1356]

19:20 That's the stuff nightmares are made of

[@xenx183]

Poor little dog thing 😢

[@BigSmoke-s9n]

@@xenx183 The dog went through surgery, that’s all. That’s how I think of it.

[@elvsrbad2]

This reminds me of the repair contest content. Hope there is another one of those in the future!

[@markbradley1975]

Loved that Tony game. I can see why it’s so addictive to play!

[@Coops021]

I had that Tomy game, remember it being really hard. It died on a summer's day in a hot car when the top layer literally melted.

[@markfiddes3441]

i may be wrong but, on the first toy you repair."aghhhhh" to me it looks like the top left blue gear is on the wrong tooth? it all sounds like its moving freely..then that blue spindle stops before the rest the motor then becomes under load ...(pitch changes) it then sort of jumps then continues till the same point..... what you think?...well done anyway !

[@topbanana39]

Vince you are incredibly talented you have inspired me to try and fix things during lockdown

[@j0hnf_uk]

The worried look on that dogs face as you were taking it's skin off. 🤣

[@ValuedTeamMember]

"Hot Dog"!! Good Job. At first I was going to flea the scene but I stayed for another GR8T fix. Who's a good doggy? You R. You R. Even though the RC car seems crude? these days, 300 years ago you would have been revered as a "magician, sourcerer or even a God". It's all relative.

[@lukeisatwat]

This is the sort of content i subbed for. Keep up the good work.

[@blairleipst4508]

You could use a spring from a pen, just modify to your needs

[@crowbarviking3890]

oh my i remember the tomy aaaagh. had one when i was.. around preschool. loved the bridges and how the balls moved. sad they do not make games like it anymore.

[@shawniebeans8382]

My sister had that little dog in thr 80s. Company definitely got sold or branding brought in 2000s.

[@LadyBama]

I had that little dog when I was 2, that was 50 years ago. It was my favorite toy. 🐕

[@HooverLux]

I don’t know if you have them already, but I use 5star big tubs of alcohol based wipes? I use them on my refurbs. Awesome video as always! 🤗

[@andrewsmith8608]

Spray furniture polish works well for freeing up parts and reducing friction as it is silicone-based and leaves everything slippery and shiny

[@logothaironsides2942]

I think a lot of these toys were very battery hungry and even if parents could fix them, they just proclaimed them unfixable rather than fork out constant batteries. Certainly my dad was of that school. My little sister had a very similar doggy which If I remember rightly had a metal armature but no plastic outer, just the metal and the loose coat thing. hers walked forwards wagging and would back up when it barked.

[@taylty]

These are my favorite types of fixes.

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

3 out of 3 very well. The controls for the car are really odd for today. It's like a remote control for a TV. The Dog looks cute. The "Aaaarrrgghh".. I see what they did there. It looks like the most fun out of those three and it gave us the "yyyeesss!!"

[@GadgetUK164]

LOL! Love that first fix and the end - you won!!! Those look great fun! I read that first one as Dodgy Pal lol - had to look twice! Poor fella was squeeling when you took him to bits lol! When you removed the fur from its body and left its head dangling, it looked like something from The Thing - the stuff of nightmares lol! Another great fix - quite good that dog for a small child! Lovely fixes!

[@Mymatevince]

Haha, Dodgy Pal!! that could be a Christmas 2021 best seller.

[@dodgydruid]

Upped a cracking Pulsar Kinetic and Seiko 7009 vid tonite worth a watch as I knows you like a Seiko and all a Pulsar is, is a Seiko in different guise :)

[@benedictnothing]

Ah man! The Tomy Aaaaaagh wasted hours and hours of my youth. It was one of the first toys I took apart as a kid. Still got the bits somewhere but I'd be surprised if the spring was still there. Will have to have a look. Great video, matey.

[@MichaelBritt23]

I know it's just a toy, but watching you take the fur off the dog made me cringe... especially when it started barking while you did it.

[@nicknicolaou8512]

Hi Vince I have a couple of job lot Roberts Play10 radio neither with any power. Were is the best place to start? Get power upto the audio board. Don't know were to go from there.

[@breaktime3269]

Good video Vince, thank you!

[@brutlern]

Where do you buy your awesomesauce from?

[@Mymatevince]

Haha, eBay Nandi, along with all the other junk :-)

[@technixbul]

Mmm i would love to get a schematics of the car with remote. Will it be too hard for you to copy them from PCBs?

[@johnduerden]

The 1st blue cog is in wring place, when you refit it the white base was in top position. The blue cog should stop the ball from going to next level untill it does it's rotation.

[@knighthawk86855]

I have the original vintage dog toy from the 70s, and he still works perfectly.

[@CR7hg]

Hahaha fixing a pup was my favorite. Funny little guy.

[@MorDreadful]

The O ring is a little too strong for the last red obstacle as it flies off and shouldn't hence why you can't get to the end. You need a weaker one. The reason being is that hole on the obstacle. As I remember having one I know that the hole would not really send it flying like that when it snapped back but instead knocked the ball into the next hole for the final wheel.

[@wledigstudios]

Some great fixes there Vince, Merry Xmas.! Look Forward to more content

[@unitedfools3493]

Vince, do you ever sign or leave a mark signifying it's you inside the things you repair? I'm kind of fascinated with how watch repairers sign their name inside sometimes so no one can see it except other repair people!

[@Helwpw]

Have a good Christmas man and a happy new year

[@jochenwuerfel]

I was happy that you replaced the horrible trumpet sound, but nope - nice troll 😂

[@Redpanda1980]

Way to go Guy you did it 👏

[@aux_juul8584]

Hi vince i have bought a monitor and it does not have a aux port or usb how do i use some speakers?

[@noahandrewsandrews7830]

What was the name of the song you used in the outro?

[@WolfIsMySpiritAnimal]

I bought one of those barking dogs when I was young. It could do a somersault. Remember my dog freaking out when it did that 🤣

[@ChrisTVBlueCube]

What’s your friend code on Nintendo Switch

[@Daniel-nw4yl]

I LOVE these series!

[@XiMiRz54]

Damn 15 V on that RC car to go that slow ? We have definitively come a long way !

[@HimmelsDaemon]

15V? Oh, all the batteries. Nah, it's most likely 6V (the four AA) and the 9V would power the IR circuitry.

[@XiMiRz54]

@@HimmelsDaemon yeah, but even, you can see the progress, now you can do everything on 3.7 V

[@massondisaster]

My mate I am getting spring noise from my left joystick (Nintendo Switch) how can i stop that?

[@The_Dee_Jay]

Another great vid, loved the ending too 😊

[@wilburjones4084]

great work vince. enjoyed watching. that car though, you'll have to get a second job to keep the battery supply up. Considering ho you put that little yapping pup back together I'd suggest looking into taxidermy. WIth added electonics. Your beloved dog Fido passed away? you want him stuffed? no bothers, he'll even bark when you pull his tail! Your parrot up and died, you want him stuffed and mounted> ? no bothers, we can also have him sqwawk and spread his wings.

[@JasonSmith-tv2zw]

I bet the dog skinning section might go down well in certain countries. Really enjoyed the fixes Vince thx.

[@mrjsv4935]

That Porsche would have been supercool toycar in 1979 and the 80s ☺ Remote controller looks a bit like Mattel Intellivision game controller, which were hardwired to the console.

[@BenMillen]

I love some of these 80s toys, I rebought several including Kong, arrrrgh and a pinball one (can't remember exact names) but one thing I forgot was how noisy they were/are, I wish it was possible to make them mechanically quieter

[@adrianpearce5214]

Cheap ballpoint pens often have tough springs.

[@charlesdorval394]

Nice fixes as always ! :) I'm wondering, what's the outro song?

[@littleloner1159]

That dog was just perfect without the bark. In my opinion you broke it and it found some unholy force within to yelp for help. I hope you at least find a safe container and storage far away from children for it and dont unleash it upon the world. Love your videos esp the ones with toys

[@spooktasticaparanormal]

Fun video to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@damolin77]

I think if you sale them all someone will buy them even the dog to me the dog works better then it did from the factory and went back together so nice. Nice job and thank you for the videos you and your family have a Marry Christmas and god bless you all

Does this mean you’ve found the first repair items with no water damage?

[@fallguystopmoments4494]

hi vince, i recently bought a nintendo switch that has an overheating fan, i was basically scammed , do you know anywere in the uk were i can get this fixed for cheap as i need it asap

[@A.R.C.77]

An item should be at least 100 years old to be defined as an antique. Generally speaking if the item is no older than an antique but not less than 20 years, it falls under the term vintage. I have heard the term ‘true vintage’ as being at least 50 years old. Interestingly however, the term vintage relates primarily to wine and is an altered form of the French word vendage, meaning “the grapes picked during a season.” Just a thought

[@fwvizz]
