I remember back in the day my wealthy cousin had one of these.
I've loved this toy since I was a kid. Always on the look out.....never quite able to track one down.
Finally tho I did ! $80 near complete in box. Only thing missing is the charger.
I'm looking for a 6VDC, 400mA with a negative center pin charger... tried eBay. Found similar specs, but nothing about the center pin.
I've also found replacement batteries locally (Scarborough, Ontario Canada) for about $15.
None currently in stock, but I hope to pick up 2 in the next week or so.
Robot is in good shape, small crack on the dome & a small broken area on the arm that I can easily glue.
All in all very happy with this lil guy.
My son is in love with this guy....always wants to go downstairs and see the "robot."
Once he sees it ripping around the basement I'm sure its game on!
This toy rocks..it looks cool as f**k on display !
I haven't had much time to work on or play with the Omnibot.
I'm still trying to track down a charger for it.... no luck yet !
I picked up a new battery the other day in Scarborough.
I had been to the store a few times, but they were never in stock.
Anyway I finally managed to get the battery. I didn't want to hack the old barrel connector off the old one.
So I ordered some replacement ones off Ebay. I don't think I'd ever sell the Omnibot, but I still would like to keep it as original as possible.
Anyway, I got the barrel connector and added some quick connects to it (pictured).
Today I put 4 brand new AA batteries in the remote, but the remote is not working ! #$%^ !!!!!! --- This is something I won't be able to fix.
I put the new battery in the Omnibot, and I got that electrical burn smell. The LED display worked, so I know the bot works....but that smell !
When I opened the bot to take out the battery it seemed like the wires were slightly melted. I have no idea why that may be.
I'm kinda at a loss.
