Fixing Kenner Voice KITT
Posted: Fri Oct 18, 2013 4:08 pm
Hi,
I have a 1983 Kenner Voice KITT that I need assistance fixing. It was working just fine, but the plastic was not flush, so I took it apart to snap it back together correctly. However, the speed switch came loose. I couldn't get it to line up while putting the voicebox back in place, so in a brilliant move I opened up the voicebox to try and connect it from the other end. Up until this point, it still spoke. However, after opening the voicebox, now when I connect the battery the motor runs constantly and it doesn't play sound.
After Googling, I learned more about how it's supposed to work. From what I can tell, the rubber band is supposed to keep the motor from spinning. Mine is not broken, it's just wrapped around the record. I don't want to try anything else for fear of breaking it further.
Does anyone have instructions you could send me to help fix this? Pictures would be even better.
Thanks in advance!
Chris
