Miniature records were common in toys until about the mid '90s. You may need to replace the belt before you sew it back up. That's probably why it's playing a little slow. I'm surprised it hadn't turned to either dust or goo after all these years.

I just picked up one of these Alf plush at a garage sale last weekend! Voicebox wasn't working either, so while on the hunt for a solution, I came across this awesome channel. The host is VERY charming too 🙂
