Inside Teddy Ruxpin: Repair, Schematics & TRRS Jack Mod!

Take a deep dive inside the original 1980s Teddy Ruxpin animatronic toy! In this video, I completely break down a vintage Teddy Ruxpin to show what makes him tick. I go over how he works, what breaks over time, and how to fix it all — from the tape deck to the servo controls. I explain the full schematic, walk through the electronics, and even show you how to modernize Teddy by replacing the old multi-pin jacks with a more reliable TRRS audio jack system.

Whether you're restoring your childhood Teddy, curious about animatronic toys, or just love vintage electronics, this breakdown has everything you need to get Teddy Ruxpin back to life — and talking again!

Stay tuned for Part 2, where I tackle his sidekick Grubby, and dive into the weirdness of that connection.
