VTech Little Smart Baby Talk Discoveries

Little Smart Baby Talk Discoveries, by VTech. Seems this will need some repair, and it functions very unpredictably. I love the lights that correspond to the buttons, and the mic in the back of the toy, with a record function. That may unlock a world of fun.

Thanks so much.

If i recall correctly you can have two pitch controls, one for the onboard sounds and one for the sampler.

I remember that for some reason i had to install a switch to disable the sampler pitch control when recording. I'm not entirely sure why as the last one of these i modded was a long time ago but it might be something to keep in mind

You don't by any chance have a diagram or more concrete info, do you?
If not, no worries.  Supplying it's alternative name, and suggesting what can be found, is already more than I got Googling (nothing, not even a picture of it).

Unfortunately not, i lost the notes for this one ages ago, if i ever even had any. Although i did find this atrociously bad quality photo.



I think both pitch knobs are just replacing resistor jobs, although one of them seems to have 3 wired connections and both have trimmer pots there.
