Racerxc70 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I bought these two on Ebay recently they were not working and in bad shape, I took them apart removed the rust and corrosion and repainted the human one, but I changed the fly eyed guy to the color of my car (volvo color 435 saffron metallic) and now they are fully functional, I put LED's in the head of the fly eyed guy, I bought a cheap LED flashlight from Home Depot that has 5 LED bulbs in it and I removed 3 of the bulbs and I used Lithium AA batteries (to push the power up a little) with Sanyo AA to D size adaptor(I highly recommend the Sanyo adaptors over all the others). I found the mF-710 space tank yesterday at an estate sale consignment store in the sacramento area the action works, it's listed as a sparky in the archives, but it isn't, it actually has a sound box made of a small paper box with a thin piece of tin threaded through it that rubs against a metal wheel. (as I stated before I like taking things apart) Thank you for all your help ROBOTO and John Rigg, much respect to both of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
