Omnibot Robot Grippers

Hi, so I want to make the grippers from my 1980's Omnibot mechanical, does anyone have any experience in doing this with the original grippers?

I have a servo & some gears from an old shredder which I may be able to use?

Here's some pictures of the grippers and gears I have if they are any use. Any schematics or ideas welcome:)

I've just drew up something very quickly, not 100% sure it will work though but you get the general idea I hope?

Cool, thanks. It's given me some ideas now:) How well does it work? Is one gripper fixed so that just the one side opens?

it works well, not for doing much tho, just looks cool. Its just somthing to make the omnibot's arm move. make him wave, and hold things. nut much power tho. more for the looks of the arm moving
