Crusty the Cat V2 in the Winchester location
Winchester Crusty the Cat V2 is an animatronic used at the San Jose CA (Winchester) Pizza Time Theatre from Late 1977 until it was replaced by Mr. Munch in 1980. It is an upgraded version of the original animatronic.
History
Shortly after the Kooser Rd Road Pizza Time Theatre location opened, PTT requested Fantasy Forest Manufacturing to update the Winchester Chuck E. Cheese's to be standardized like the Kooser location. Once the Winchester Blvd. location upgraded their show to standard Cyberamics in 1980, Crusty was relocated to the Pizza Time Theatre Sunnyvale, CA Corporate Office.
Once Pizza Time Theatre went bankrupt, Paul Linden of SPT's Entertainment Department acquired the Crusty animatronic and was thought to be a prototype animatronic that never ended up in a location. In 2011 the Crusty animatronic was discovered once again and later bought by Travis Schafer in 2012.
Cosmetic Design
Crusty is a black cat with white fur patches, wearing a blue and yellow baseball uniform reading "Swingers 13"; to fit his theming he also held a red baseball bat in his right hand The animatronics eyes and hands are nearly identical to it's accompanying Chuck E. Cheese Animatronic, with the exception of color and eyes being more detailed. The majority of the animatronic's mechanics were built onto the fiberglass body, leaving a mostly empty interior.
Movements
The majority of the animatronic's mechanics were built onto the fiberglass body, leaving a mostly empty interior. As for cylinders, it appears that a majority of the head used small single acting cylinders for certain movements. The metal base Crusty was built on was bought up to an angle so it could come out of the frame more. An additional note, the body turns dictated the movement of the left arm like the future Cyberamics.
