    Now to give him an upgrade… the new Pee Wee Herman doll, where he makes a mess all over himself after entering a dark room…

    Voice might be a touch low pitch still. IIRC the record can be either 33 or 45 rpm if you have an optical tach you could try fine tuning the speed

    Perhaps the spring was originally intended to adjust for the O-ring stretching out over time. Given the manufacturing tolerances I'm sure some work better than others. And it could be a copy of a copy of an original design.

    Funny I was just showing a co-worker a Chairry puppet like mine on eBay today!

    Heard Pee Wee was a pedofile. Is there any truth to that?

    Once there were great engineers. You are amazing Fran.

    What a great video – and I learned about why when I sew something by hand the thread often winds up curling up in a knot! And,, Pee Wee is alive! Hey, have you guys been to the basement of the Alamo?

    Entertainment for Fran for hrs. Cool resto job Fran. Try to catch the video of Pee Wee when he goes into a biker bar & starts dancing

    To the needlepoint people in here about to comment on Fran's sewing skills I say, "Show us your guitar effect pedal construction technique first!" ๐Ÿ™‚

    I'm surprised that elmer's glue is strong enough to hold those two threads together!

    nice

    It's possible that the felt or the plastic near the centrifugal governer may have gotten a tad greasy/oily or maybe too hard and lost friction. The peg seems like it was just supposed to be a belt tensioner.
