Gaigaan-Dnok mentioned in the Best Toy thread that his Flagg PA system is broken and I realized I never posted something I did when mine broke. When ebay only offered ones for $50.00 or more I turned to amazon for this, Spoke Heads Minin Megaphone with Mic. Is it exact? No. Is it better than a broken piece of junk. Yes, plus it has the mic feature which still lets you yell at people. Plus a siren which is awesome for waking people up in the morning.

I didn't start there though. I started by trying to repair the one I had. But not being an electrician and dealing with 20 year old toy that was built on the cheap to begin with led me to look into replace instead of restore. I then found a different bike horn, thinking I could just take the parts I needed to replace the broken ones on the Flagg's. Totally incompatable. They looked the same but they were not the same.

I tried the Spoke Heads one and while not 100%, it was close enough to work and look good. Ironically while the picture showed a yellow one, the one I got in the mail was the same shade of grey as the Flagg's. I can't tell you how awesome finding that out was. I wouldn't count on that happening as your mileage may vary for what color you get. A little switching out of the stickers and adding a battery later, and I had a cheap replacement megaphone with working mic for my flagg.

Wow, I can't believe they still make those. I got one just like it in the early 90s that worked briefly.

That's awesome!
I may just have to pick one of those up and enjoy a Flagg with a working PA system (for the first time ever)! :-D

Nice. If I ever wanted a replacement, this looks money.
