PIB Spinner broken arm

Post by fxrs789 »

Anyone familiar with the skeletal connections inside a PIB spinner's arm? Something feels like it came disconnected in the upper forearm area. The arm is just floppy and hanging now. I called Patrick and he said I will need to cut her open to see exactly what is going on. Any input would be appreciated, I don't want this to turn into a hack job...
Thanks!

Yours is probably the first to have a problem so....
I would think Patrick could e-mail you a pic is strict confidence of the skeleton at the area in question so you know what you're cutting into.
And assuming you will have to cut to repair, cut on the inside of the arm.
Going downtown. Gonna see my gal. Gonna sing her a song. I'm gonna show her my ding dong! C&C

Just a follow up.....
I made a small incision and got Patrick on the phone after sending him some videos of the problem. Patrick walked me through the fix and I'm pretty sure we have it resolved. Some parts had shifted internally and the forearm came loose of the elbow. I've silpoxied the incision back together and hopefully all is good.
Thanks Patrick!
