I had a bunch of links to anamatronics devices and may still have them if you are interested. As I have mentioned many time robotics was and is my main interest.

A cheap Elvis head? Wow Wee sold them for $350.00 and I was lucky enough to find a brand new one in its original box for $250.00.
Genny.com who made lip sincing santa, skelletions, whitches, etc normally sold them a lot cheaper than that either of the above prices. My almost singing, dancing, skelleton stands almost 6 feet tall, but when a mic is plugged in it no longr dances, just lip sincs. Actually I thought of contacting the creators of Mr.Clock Radio to see if I could talk them into just making a lip sinc head without the radio. I feel sure a lot of people would like that both Hal users and robot builders.

ok am back and now since i won the elvis item on ebay and here is a link so if anyone else wants to bid on one to use it for the same hal purpose like i wanted to . please note these are missing a singing modual and ac dc adapter and mic other wise they are in perfect shape with the box as you can see on the web site . i gave or rather i should say my wife gave (its an early anniversary present ) she gave 34.99 thats including shipping so that was a good price i think for having something that does facial movements etc you can read all on the site what all it does and on utube they have videos of what the elvis head does !!
 i figured i had an extra mic from my kareoke machine and if i dont have a universal adapter i can get one fairly cheap .
 anyway

here is the web link :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360147896524&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_RCRX_Pr4_PcY_BID_Stores_IT&refitem=360147382388&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget&_trksid=p284.m183&_trkparms=algo%3DCRX%26its%3DS%252BI%252BSS%26itu%3DISS%252BUCI%252BSI%26otn%3D4

I had a look at the youtube videos and being honest, they kind of freak me out.

I wish they could let Elvis be dead gracefully, I'm surprised no one has dug him up and stuffed him yet.

But probably the oddest thing for me is that it doesn't even look like Elvis.

Sorry about the negative comments, I really love Elvis, but I can't help wishing he could rest in peace.

Not one for me I am afraid. [:I]

to me its not a matter of wether it looks like elvis or not (that part doesnt matter to me ) whats important to me is this is a very good animatronic head for a fairly cheap price that i can use later with hal and hal will talk through this head !kind of like the jules animatronic head on utube just at a way cheaper price !

In case you did not know it Elvis is still the higest paid entertainer in the world, well Elvis' estate is. It earns over $20 million dollars a year.

Putting up money to invest in Elvis or even the flying Elvi for that matter Is a choice but when dealing with these un known sites/addresses you need more than a receipt that says 'Roger, wilco, over and out' especially if you are in the 'up and up' and go by avail info. there are thousands of wrong addresses an it is virtually impossible to filter out 'items/sites' while staying on the ethical side of things.

'I received a new battery for an old laptop and it is always nice to have something that might work.

Blah, Blah......

well good news and bad news on the elvis head it works ok and looks cool . the bad news is that i thought that talking through the mic it would lipsinc and move the animatronics it doesnt . all that is for is so that you can sing along with elvis or turn down the elvis volume so you can sing . i am using an old ac dc adapter i have another dont know if that will make any difference .
i have a santa clause animated so will dig out a good adapter .
my elvis seems to be moving slow (thats why i think its the adapter ) . if i find out for sure that it will lip sinc i will post it .

If your Elvis is moving slow, that may be the reason you got it so cheap. It might be a good idea to return it while you still have time.
