| Dried out lubrication Inferior materials |
With our basic repair service
we clean and relubricate the
mechanisms with compounds that
are healthy & safe for them.
When these talkers were
produced the manufacturers
used some substandard
materials to help maintain
pullstring "health". They did
what they could with what was
available at the time -- but
those materials over time will
have degenerated and most
likely also contaminated the
interior of the talking
mechanism.
Talky Town replaces these
materials with modern day
materials that will last
longer and perform more
efficiently over time.
Remember unless a talker has
been repaired/refurbished it
is ready to "bust" at any
time. Buying another worn-out
mechanism isn't going to help.

| When things look bad... There is still hope! |
On occasion, the
talking mechanism can
be so badly damaged
that repair is just
not possible.
In these extreme cases
though Talky Town can
install a good
refurbished mechanism
in your treasured doll
so she can certainly
talk again. The
refurbished mechanisms
receive the same care
that we perform in the
Basic Service.

| A Word of Good Advice: All models of Crissy and Velvet Talky dolls contain high-tension spring-loaded parts. Lack of skill disassembling these parts by the novice could render the mechanism unrepairable. "Do-it-yourself" and very likely you will require a replacement mechanism costing you more... when a repair job could have restored the doll's mechanism. Even opening the doll could damage it if your are unfamiliar with repairing them. Also consider merely getting another cheap talky doll at an online auction gets you nothing but another worn-down used talking mechanism that could break at any time even if you were able to swap them out yourself successfully. |
