I just got Mitzi today and I'm going to be doing a thread on restoring her. According to the seller this was from the Chuck E. Cheese on ingram(San Antonio). I believe I have an early mitzi as well(the welding and bodyshell are different). I have loaded her into my garage and I am starting to replace a few bolts that were missing from the cylinders, I've got the valve bank but unfortunately they cut all the connection wires when they removed her from the store. Does anybody have a diagram of which wire/ which airhose goes where. Photos are on my instagram account(@transtarlexington) |

I called and asked, they make the 24 on request, they don't put it on the webpage because no-one ever orders it |

Tell Transtar to have Hauntbots make the 24 for him. And here's some stage suggestions. ![]() (that thing in the box is the TiVo controller, and the file cabinet with the green stuff is the Greybox. There's also a show selector)

Good luck on Mitzi/Helen! I think it's kinda cool how you got an early version of her! I also love how you might turn it into a Helen, I LOVE Mitzi, but Helen is really close to my heart.....but not like as close as others- |

TiVo was used on some RAEs because they had special computers that communicated with CEI's that made it work properly..and AFAIK it isn't just audio tracks, it's also video(or a static photo On video) if they want to play Cyberstar tapes. |

Next, buy a VGA port, a VGA cable, and a file cabinet. |

Instead of screaming at Transtar what to, do not even as suggestions (If they were welcome) just let him do him, it's his bot.. :/ |

Mitzi has 16 movements So a APC 16 would work best |

Yup! I use to be like you when I was younger. I don't know if Matt The Franchize remembers me, but on his Live Streams with Slappy I would always talk about Helen. I am more of a LOW KEY Helen fan so----- |

You need to chill out. This is not your thread or your place to tell people to post. This thread is meant for Transtar to tell about his updates on his restoration. He will post when he has something to post. You should have gotten 6 driver boards regardless of what anybody in the pianocorder community tells you. To them, 4 would be correct, but its different with the RAE system. Do not worry, you'll still be able to get Mitzi's whole drawer working and a little of the other drawer working. Remember, showtimeind will tell you how to modify the boards to get them RAE ready. Edited by jasper_the_beach_bear, May 23 2016, 09:33 AM.
