The only thing it's missing (I think) is the record player, I have all the records though.

It's rough but I'm looking forward to tinkering on it

can you use any record player or does it have special hookups?

Wonder if you can put any old record in it?
Might be fun to have it playing Ozzy or something like that.
You can use anything that plugs into the headphone jack on the amp but there's a switch that triggers the player to start on the coin mech so Idk how you'd trigger something else.

The records are small clear plastic disc's about the size of the a GameCube game

The plexi front/sides are all one bent piece, I was thinking of replacing it with chicken wire instead of fooling with trying to bend plexi.
 
How about building a bracket to hold three sheets instead of one bent replacement?

That's what I was thinking, cut two slotted corner pieces for three separate pieces. I was considering the chicken wire for that authentic chicken coop feel. It has plexi on the top to let light in because it's battery operated so you can put it anywhere but I was thinking of covering/painting the roof and putting in a light of some sort.
 
And post pics of the records please.

The only record that doesn't have a cover is the chicken one. If someone wants, I can mail them the records so they can back up the sounds digitally. There's virtually zero information about this thing online, at least nothing I can find

Aahahahaaa... Those envelopes...

If a prosecutor was putting childhood on trial, that's what their desk would look like while they were building their case. "______ RECORD ENCLOSED"
 
Is that like one of those Dino egg machines? Looks like you can change the characters with the Toy n Joy though.

Pretty much, put in a quarter and it dispenses an egg with a prize in it.

This one came with a chicken, bunny, parrot, pumpkin and Santa head. I really like the chicken so the rest'll probably go in the attic.


The coin mech has a micro switch that activates the record player so I don't think it'll be too hard to rig up something that makes a chicken noise in it and even run it through the stock sound amp in it. Hopefully I'll have some time soon to dig into it, put a switcher in it to run the sounds and a florescent light
 
Got it all cleaned up and working, all that's left is plexi, t molding and a background.

It's still missing the record player but I'm going to find some toy that makes chicken noises, gut it for the part that makes noise and rig it to the switch that starts the record player until I can find the right stuff. It didn't have the light originally, I think it looks better with one.

I've read about people putting cheap mp3 players in there for the sound but not sure how to hook it up?
