Trying to Fix a Faulty Tomy Grand Prix | Vintage Toy Repair Attempt

Описание: In this video, I take on the challenge of repairing a Tomy Grand Prix — a classic vintage mechanical racing game that sadly stopped working. If you’re into retro electronics, vintage toys, or just love seeing old-school tech brought back to life, this one’s for you.

I’ll walk you through the full repair process:
Diagnosing why the Tomy Grand Prix isn’t working
Opening and inspecting the internal mechanics and electronics
Attempting to fix the fault and bring it back to life

This is part electronics repair, part nostalgia trip, and 100% for the love of restoring classic toys. Even if the fix doesn’t go as planned, there’s plenty to learn from the process.
