If you take a look at Dr. Eyore's website (Ospedale Teddy Ruxpin) you will find detailed information on how to fix Grubby yourself. On of the most common problems with Grubby is the plug socket for the connecting cord. There are 4 finger contacts in the socket and with its location plugging and unplugging seem to get them out of place and bend after a time. Best option is to get hold of a new socket, but care is required to get them back in the proper order or Grubby simply will buzz and not move. Sometomes it is possible to get the silver casing off of the plastic end on the socket and reposition the contacts properly. It is also sometimes possible to maneuver them into proper place with a mini screwdriver, but that's hit and miss. Of course this all assumes that the problem lies in the socket. Also possible that you have a pinched wire somewhere given how Grubby is constructed.

I have seen quite a few people with unsatisfactory repairs from her. I even remember seeng videos from her eBay with toys not working their best... |

I know nothing about Dr. Betty's service, but if you are looking for a full restoration, then Dr. Eeyore is the way to to go. You will, however, have to contact her through her website and make arrangements as she only does restorations in the summer, and only up to a maximum number.
I do have to ask, however, whether you have tried your Grubby with more than one Teddy, and whether you have and have changed the connecting cord in testing him. While the socket in Teddies normally does not seem to exhibit the same contact problems that effect Grubby's socket, it does happen. I've also run across cords that for some reason work fine in one Teddy and Grubby pair, but won't work in another. If you have a second Teddy and a spare cord, or know someone nearby who does, it would be worthwhile to do this test.

It comes down to a question of what you want and what you can or are willing to pay. I criticize no one's services or expertise...and especially when it is not a service that I have employed and on which I can therefore make any comments based on experiences. I am simply saying if you want a complete restoration, which is different than a repair, it is Dr. Eeyore who offers that kind of a service and really the only one that offers a warranted complete restoration to my knowledge. If that is what someone is looking to have done, I believe that would be the way to go. Others do offer to undertake repairs at varying costs, and no criticism of their service is intended here. Someone might have a childhood Teddy and wants a complete restoration, while the next person might have picked one up on ebay and simply wants to get him to work. The level of what's involved and expected will determine cost.

"Someone might have a childhood Teddy and wants a complete restoration, while the next person might have picked one up on ebay and simply wants to get him to work. The level of what's involved and expected will determine cost." Late2theparty is correct, some clients have a bear that has sentimental value and want it restored regardless of cost BUT wants the original parts repaired, whilst others just want a working bear and they do not mind mind what is replaced. There can be big difference on cost. However the cost of repairing bears varies greatly depending on what is wrong with them in the first place. But $100 is not expensive taking into account the work that is required. Kevin www.teddyruxpinhospital.com |
