Take heed, some day he'll be a lyrical poet... for now let's focus on scrubbing the 27 years of lead battery acid and insect detritus from his yellowing shell - with a little help from Jacques the crab and, ever the looky-loo, Mr. Bubble!

I wanted to called this guy Mr. White Christmas but my son Z was set on Vanilla Ice. He's in the early planning stages and remains as yet unmodified. And here he is all uncovered and bare, getting his clean on before his eventual transmogrification...

Let's kick it!

First Blood: Removed excess material from front and back of head to make it perfectly round. Used Dremel at low speed with EZ Lock plastic cutting wheel. Finished edges with X-ACTO knife (very carefully) and foam sanding block

Things were still a little on the dirty side so we went ahead and thoroughly cleaned the boards, knobs and switches and ultimately replaced most of the wiring/connectors. Add in a second low voltage supply for the LCD and let's don't forget the eyes!

Barely had time to complete the "stereophonic" sound upgrade after all the time I spent replacing those sorry excuses for eye LEDs with my own secret noodle soup! And then he passes out...

A little nip here... a little tuck there... and one Dremel-powered lobotomy later we have an open window to the inner workings of a mad man... man...
