RoboCopy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hi All, I picked up a Yonezawa Mighty Robot who's red beacon is sadly missing. Is there a repro part available or would a Space Walk Man beacon (more or less) fit? Cheers! RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe K. Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 . The critical dimension would be the diameter of the base. The two are shaped a little differently. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Perhaps someone with both robots can compare the two domes and report back? If the space walk man doesn't work perhaps there is a Yonezawa toy from the same time frame that uses the same part but is less expensive. You might be able to find a fire truck or something that uses the same part. Then the trick would be to find one of those toys in poor condition except for the dome. Good luck!

Joe K. Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 . Or some kind of vintage pilot light lens, the kind I seem to remember seeing in Radio Shack stores back in the '60s. Here's a newer model: http://modulusamplification.com/PILOT-LIGHT-TRANSPARENT-RED-LENS-P647995.aspx or here: http://www.turretboards.com/lamps_lenses.htm or an eBay search for "vintage indicator light". .

SH MIKE Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I would try looking for a toy police car from the same company from the same time period. The Mighty Robot may have used some existing parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboCopy Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Not quite the same shape, but a perfect fit (I've included a photo of the donor vehicle - Modern Toys Gemini space ship) Thanks all for your suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinplate6 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 RoboCopy, don't worry, it's still a beautiful robot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
