I came across your "Digital Driver" video. A neighbor had Digital Driver when I was a kid. But I wanted to see if you'd done Space Turbo, because that's the one that I had! I'm glad you did this. It looks so complicated! How did people even design this stuff without CAD? Also, because I had Space Turbo, I noticed it in the background of the Flight of the Navigator movie.
Hi Randi! OMG! Thank you so much!! I have 3 of them with original boxing, all these 3 have the same problem like yours... i think some little gears was also broken, that must be the problem!!! 😃 bc i have checked all other parts... Thank you so much!!😘 i was hoping that you release a repair-video of the TOMY Space Turbo some day...
Leonardo Da Vinci would be proud of the guy who designed that crazy mechanism with all kind of shifting gears and orbiting toothed planets; putting 3 short gears in series to make a long one it's genius too :p
I'm going to go back and use my drill press to get better holes on the gears so they line up better, but that's when I tackle the bezel and the handle on the other one.
So lot of pieces ! (...and how they designed this kind of "electro-mecanical toy" without ...smartphone ;) ? ) ... I am not sure I unterstand really the "optical device working" for this look-like internal projected picture on the external screen... but, that looks great :D
@@RandiRain ...yes, I think, I understand (but not sure ;) ) (...and this feeling, the player is into the screen, with this " picture distortion ", just ' only ' with a light, sliding, left-rigth in the tube screen... ! ) Great, and thank :)
You made me sit through a whole video thinking you weren't going to attempt to make that control stick Randi! Sheesh. When you said it was too difficult I was like, whaaat? Too difficult for Randi Rain, the woman who made her own flea circus and animatronic band?!?! LOL.
That one's pretty cool! I sorta remember seeing a joystick TOMY back in the days, but I'm not sure if it's this one or not. Too you at the time and we already converted to NES.
I’m from Indonesia. Really good information video about Space Turbo by Tomy. I recently have one of this game however with missing small bulb lamp. Could you tell me, how can I connect a new bulb lamp inside the Space turbo? Positif cable to..negative cable to..because I don’t have any reference of it. Thanks.
Thank you Randi. Actually missing of bulb and socket and I need to install new bulb+socket. I try to figure out, how can I connect the socket cable inside the Space Turbo🙂
This game should have been called Operation Barbarossa because you're blowing up the aircraft while they are still on ground. No royalties either as neither government even exist anymore.

I think it's absolutely fantastic how they made something like this entirely mechanically... really a bit of a lost art
It is... There's no reason to do it now, except as art.
I'm from Spain and I had the white one, it was my favourite toy, so many memories :__(
Not a bad game.
"when that little bump hits that little thing, that happens" story of my life
Words to live by.
Thanks for this Randi! Ive just restored mine using this video👍
Wonderful!
the greebling on these toys is great lol
My all time favorite TH-camrs! Great video Randi!!!!!!!
Thank you.

I still have mine and its boxed but dosent work! Thanks for this video, im gonna have a go at fixing it.

Do you have the shield part? If so, can I borrow it to make a copy? You can contact me on my website. randirain.com
I had the white variant in 1986 as a b day gift.
00:47 the way that joystick corrected itself is just a little scary...lol
Well, that's it, now you're going to have to write and sing ad jingles for every Tomy you fix ...
Ah.. So you made it to the end. First one to mention it.
Reminded me of Tron and the Death Star trench all at once! Great work!
The laser looks very Tron as well.
Thx great videos.. Like u
Thank you

And as I kid, I thought this thing was a high tech electronic video game... nope, completely mechanical!
This came out last Sat
But iam watching it Now
The rubber gear ?timer set up was new to me. Thank you for sharing with us Randi.
There's a rubber gear on the TOMY Astro Shooter Pinball, and somewhere else that I can't think of.
Now that was awesome 😎 so very interesting as always.
Thanks again!
@@RandiRain you're most welcome 🙂 you're awesome.
I wonder if plumbers zsicone grease
Would work good to lubricate
Hi,
It's not possible to change the led to new brighter ones?
Thanks
It's a light bulb so no idea. Maybe.
Do.clean battery contacts after using CLR like maybe Achohal5
We roll the spring to check for wear

... I am not sure I unterstand really the "optical device working" for this look-like internal projected picture on the external screen... but, that looks great :D
It's like those magnifying lens that they used to use on old projection screen TVs.
@@RandiRain ...yes, I think, I understand (but not sure ;) )
(...and this feeling, the player is into the screen, with this " picture distortion ", just ' only ' with a light, sliding, left-rigth in the tube screen... ! )
Great, and thank :)
This would make a great prop for my 12 inch Figutew like a set piece

Too difficult for one video. It's coming.
@@RandiRain No problem. I wasn't complaining. Looking forward to it.
Looks kind of similar to the Tomy Racing Turbo - but with shooting.
What an amazing game.
Yeah, it works the same. This game is actually kind of fun, unlike Turning Turbo.
@@RandiRain turning turbo just looks cool. It's like something you'd see in an 80s scifi movie.
That one's pretty cool! I sorta remember seeing a joystick TOMY back in the days, but I'm not sure if it's this one or not. Too you at the time and we already converted to NES.
I can't think of another one with a joystick like that.
Were dod you get that neat pick from
Do you use Magnetic Dish to.hold the screws
I had the blue one, and played it until it broke... sadly, I don't know where it is anymorre.
That's cool.

Could you tell me, how can I connect a new bulb lamp inside the Space turbo? Positif cable to..negative cable to..because I don’t have any reference of it. Thanks.
It's just a flashlight bulb and there is a socket. Polarity doesn't matter.
Thank you Randi. Actually missing of bulb and socket and I need to install new bulb+socket. I try to figure out, how can I connect the socket cable inside the Space Turbo🙂
Please let us know if you will be creating your own new games from spare parts! :)
Have pay attention about notches
And slots were the part lay in
Is there a way to make a handle or throttle for this toy??? Ive seen a lot selling em but missing the handle. Are they broken?? O just a part detach?
Ever try Cast &Craft Silacone Mold Putty
Randi, what's your microphone set up like? Sometimes it's heard to hear you when you're moving things around.
It's just the one on the camera. I'm going to need a lot more views, a lot more patrons, and a lot more donations before I can get better equipment.
