'70s Janex Talking Alarm clocks

[MIB41]

Were they the ones who put out the Oscar The Grouch one? If so,I'd say yes.

I had the Oscar the Grouch alrm too, but it quit talking as well. I'm going to fix it though. It's just one of those miniture white motors you typically see in models. Still for sale and just two wires to reattach. It's finding the time that is a challenge for me. When I have a spare moment, I'm usually on here talking with my collector friends.

Motors

just note the voltage -
though most motors look the same, i have seen speed issues arise.

also the bearing hub sizes are different in Ozen motors and the generic Mabuchi (motor centered by this in frame)

Can't help thinking these characters are a bit scary, where do they come from, a cartoon?

Raggedy Ann and Andy are American icons from dolls that helped little kids learn how to button, snap, and tie clothes, shoes, etc. Ann has been around for over 120 years.

It is actually a very sad story:

Wrong.

What was the doll that you buttoned, zipped, tied, etc. I thought it was Raggedy Ann? My wife says it was "Dressie Bessie"
