Fixing a Broken Tomy Flipbot | Vintage Toy Robot Restoration

Описание: This FlipBot is another toy robot made by Tomy in the early 1980's. In this video we will try to find out why he doesn't power on. Much like the DingBot from a previous video, I suspect his motor is just stuck from years of sitting unused. Let's find out!

This video covers the full repair and restoration of a Tomy Flipbot, a vintage 1980s retro robot toy from Tomy. The Flipbot was not working properly, showing signs of mechanical failure which are common issues in vintage toys of this era.

The restoration process includes a complete teardown, mechanism repair, and cleaning, as well as fixing motor gears. By carefully repairing the internal components, this classic Tomy Flipbot is brought back to life, preserving a piece of retro toy history.
