Neck and arms

The neck has some disconnected pull rods to the motors that I thought were going to be hard to replace, but to my surprise they actually snapped back into place with out much fuss and the neck works perfectly.

The arms comes off with a bolt and the inner sholder bracket (pictured above) is set on the sholder motor shaft via two set screws that require a meteric alan wrench to turn them. The right sholder was really lose and need to be completely reset. The manufacture RoboTronics actually marked the motor shaft with a red marker to mark the set point the arm mount should be set to. This was really nice because if the arm is set back to far is make the upper body shourd almost impossible to take off and will interfer with the movement of the arms, as was the case before I fixed it.

RoboTronics really did make a nice robot with Bubby in 1986, the plastic and mechical peices have held up extremly well.

Not pictured are the gutted electronic boxs as most of the electronics were too old to try to keep with the parts that were missing. The electronics boxes and some of the internal supports for Bubby are metal and had some rust and dirt on them. A good way to clean those up a some light sanding and a good scrubbing with rubbing alcohol.
