I would take 400 , or combination of money and possible trade for ez robot equipment. I am trying to raise money and get equipment for educational bots that I started posting the build info for.
The arms attach fine, and motors are all functional, but having some problems with the controller chips on the motherboard. Both were DOA, but have been able to restore both boards to life. Planning to restore one of the bots to original specs, and attempt an EZ robot project similar to the Jarvis example with the second bot.
Does anyone have one of the removed original boards/cassette deck & clock from one of these guys (preferably on the US frequency pairing - 49.860/49.405MHz?
I've got to change out some of the original controller components and imagine these parts are unfindable. With so many bot restorations, it would be great to track down an unused original brain for these guys.
Unrelated, I noticed the frequency crystals are indeed replaceable (to operate one of the regional bots from a US remote). There is a small fine-tuning variable transformer located beside the frequency crystal, just inside of the LED. Changing them out requires a bit of careful effort though.
Here is a link to the datasheet.
