Complete Dr Who

[Mooseman]

Heres some pics from a Dr Who I did last year, meant to write it up here at the time. Ive since sold it so may be missing some shots. Picked it up from way up in Scotland, involved a stay overnight and a ferry. The machine was a present to this guys daughter, she hadnt played it for about 10yrs so He was selling it and keeping the money for himself lol.

It was pretty dirty, extreme cab fade and the time expander didnt work.

Took the expander apart, there is good instruction on the net and after the first time I could do it in under 5 mins so not that much of a hassle. Took it all apart and cleaned. It needed a new gearbox as the brass gears were mashed, a few opto led's were broken on the expander too.

The factory tardis is a bit naff so made another out of a usb hub. Through away all the inards and cut it the same as original. Also swopped over the old light.

The switch covers were also pretty naff, what these black things are supposed to be Barry? I do not know.

So I made some new ones. Again a dremel and a toy make for something more pleasing to the eye.

As I said the cab was badly faded. So Mrs Moose and I set about repainting it with glass paint. I have now seen that someone has done some decals for Dr Who, but none were available last year.

Had the legs powder coated red and thats about it I think. Sold to help fund an AFM and although Mrs Moose likes AFM she still misses Dr Who

Didn't realize how much work you actually put into that Dr Poo.
Great work.
