Y'all know I have a special pl;ace in my collector's heart for cast-off abandoned battery powered toys, right?
Did we learn nothing from Toy Story?
Found this Thinkway Toys interactive WOODY doll today at the Goodwill for $0.99. Batteries were weak but he was able to croak out a few dying phrases from his tummy button. Had a long string hanging out the back and I figured he probably had to have some sort of spring reel inside that was busted.
This calls for an exploratory Woody-ectomy.

As suspected, there is a cord reel and it has two momentary contacts as it re-winds. the clear plastic drum was in pieces so I crazyglued it back solid, loaded the spring and threaded the cord through the hole with a stop-knowe tied in it. The cord has to pass through woody's shirt and vest before the finger ring gets tied on.

The pull string cord opens up a whole new circuit and adds an addition 10 phrases to the 5 belly button ones. In addition, Woody's belt buckle has infrared sensors for interaction with other ThinkWay Toys, such as Monsters Inc. Sully and Mike. 
Felix Approved.

New Woody has made friends already...Yes, Mr. Incredible talks, too.
"Let's take mine, Woody. There's more room."

Goodwill got its records off the Floor and into a bin for easy browsing. Picked up an 10 LP Readers Digest Boxed Set - all original recordings! Readers Digest always did really great collections like this and the quality is very good. I'll eventually record it all to hard drive and compose some boss CDs and MP3s.

I just had to buy these next two albums just for the cover art.
She's got the fireplace romantically lit, her best strapless gown on, her hair gloriously puffed and the Martinis are chilling ... and she just hung up the phone. Note tear rolling down her cheek.
Jackie Gleason isn't actually on the LP, he's just presenting these hope-springs-eternal soppy selections awaiting our disappointed, dejected and despondent Damsel so unlucky in love.

This is by far the BEST!
Mom and Pop so very proud of their blondelishious eminently marriageable daughter while ignoring, or resigned to, young Buddyboy's extraordinarily rapturous transport, hands clasped in appreciative sensitivity...
I think the lad's name is Davy. I even had those same clothes and would spend hours down the basement next to the hi-fi singing along with Giselle MacKenzie and Patsy Cline...

I smell a vintage record thread...........
Love the toy pictures, Felix looks satisfied with the new acquisition for sure.
Jackie Gleason records are the staple of many thrift store vinyl sections, as well as the Reader's Digest boxed sets, and Mercury High Fidelity albums. Our Goodwill in Fort Pierce combines sane, customer level record/magazine rack, and infuriating wall art/record albums above eye level, in the same store. Our "rich section" Goodwill has all their record albums in above eye level rackage, with wall art underneath.

The more I looked at the Compact C2 the more I realized that the gold and pale blue of the decal was mostly intact, it was the black lettering that had chipped off. Drawing inspiration from the manual and the faint traces of black left I bit the bullet and painted it in with black nail polish enamel. Next I'll touch up and refine the gold with a gold Sharpie. The drip spot stain down the sides is proving problematic but I'm sure a solution will come to me. It reminds me of how nicotine glaze runs under high humidity.
I know these are not the correct nozzles but the wands are a simple friction fit with no button catch, which would be correct.
Swapped handle ends on hoses for an more age-appropriate cloth weave look.
The green hose looks very nice with the apple green C-8.

It's amazing what a perfect color match this is for the C8. I was just guessing but once magic erasered the color came through and of course, a second 'warthog' Skylon tower filter stands proudly out back.
