Restoring a robot forgotten in its box for 40 years

An '80s robot, completely new and stored away for 40 years because it never worked. In this restoration, I disassemble, clean, and rebuild its internal mechanism, only to discover that the issue was something as simple as a missing gear. A precise mechanical repair that finally allowed it to walk for the very first time since leaving the factory.
