A Toy Repair shed for articles, ideas and videos of Toy Repairs carried out by Blog Owner fixed1t and others. If you have a broken toy then check to see is somebody in the shed has done a fixer. If your a fixer of toys post links to your videos here in the shed and collaborate in suggesting fixes. I want this to be a Toy Fixing community blog.
Attended An Open Day Event With Spectrum Community Arts UK (Performing ARTS For People With Disabilities) Oliver spotted the face Painting and asked to be Spiderman. I Video'ed It, To Learn How To Do It.
Now the SUNKO S788H Battery Spot Welder is out of its box I can start testing it. As I allegedly has surge issues I will start with testing the in-built battery tester/charger.
MadWaves MadPlayer Mac X 10.7 10.13 Midi Driver Installation - Part 1
I have resurrected my interactive regenerative handheld algorithmic loop-based music composition device the MadWaves MadPlayer. The MadPlayer was released in 2002 and was well received by regenerative music composers like Brian Eno et al. It originally came with its own software control application for Mac and PC but this rapidly became outdated and the drivers were not compatible with the newer Mac or PC systems.
What makes the MadPlayer great is that it has a built in Polyphonic Sound Module, Drum Machine, Bass, and synth pads. given its size and low cost, I became interested in using it as a 'Midi Sound Module' controlled from my Mac. So I have developed a newer Midi Driver and Graphic Icon and tested it extensively on Apple OS X 10.7 to 10.13. This video was created using Apple OS X 10.13.1 High Sierra.
The driver is available for a few dollars at: http://www.fixed1t.co.uk/fixed1t_circuitbent_n_tweaks.htm
Just donate what you think its worth to you to get your mad player working again on your Mac (rather than it getting old and sticky on the shelf or in a draw) and send me an email if your haven't added it to your Paypal donation and I will send you the driver zip file. Please don't give this away to others as it took a lot of sorting out and time so a few dollars back seems fair to me and will encourage me to added some more features.
This video is about Wowwee Robotics FlyTech DragonFly Repair - Part 2
The beautiful radio controlled Dragonfly is made to flap its wings like a real Dragonfly for flying on still days or in large halls.
These were really popular from new having a large battery operated Remote Control that also contained and power supply lead to charge the Dragonfly's small internal lipo rechargeable battery.
But this Wowwee Dragonfly will not charge. So with razorblades in hand I set about finding out why?

This is a perfect specimen with all its parts, but sadly the glue on the box has deteriorated and the protective plastic has fallen in. These were really popular from new having a large battery operated Remote Control that also contained and power supply lead to charge the Dragonfly's small internal lipo rechargeable battery.
For some reason they were not sold for very long, I opened this one to see if it still works.
