Martian Gil Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Nice pics! I think the only way that I figured to do it was set up a little youtube acct and then load links to those - not certain, but that's what I had to do. The youtube thing is fairly easy to do - you can make them public, only visible to those people or sites that you share the link with, etc. You're also able to make the links private whenever you like. Uploading a 10-15 second short to youtube only takes mins - depending on your connection and speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Looks like you have repairs down. Kudos for taking the plunge. Many collectors are fearful of tackling repairs, but if you are careful it can be done successfully. If you search Alphadrome you can find dozens of helpful posts on how-to repairs of specific robots. You can also learn a lot about cleaning and polishing domes, litho and plated surfaces to enhance overall appearance. Check out posts by martian gil and Robothut specifically.

Mr tin hat Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Many thanks I have repaired at least 6 to date some with serious flaws. I practiced on the jap automata chalie weaver type toys. Even replacing a motor on one so feeling pleased. Stripped gear wheels are a major problem but can be sorted sometimes. Cheers must read the other repairs I have a lot to learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
