Restring Miss Revlon
Got a loose LMR in the mail today.
From this site: https://www.thisolddoll.info/hosp/lmr/lmr.htm
1 - Hold the leg joint of the doll under hot water for a couple of minutes and then gently twist and pull the leg off to expose the hip cavity. Inside you'll find the collar pin (1), a metal washer (2) and a bell-shaped piece of plastic (3). Remove the pin and washer and leave the bell inside. If the pin is missing, make a new one like we did above with the paper clip.
2 - Put the rubber band on the bobby pin so the pin will act as a needle for threading parts onto the band.
3 - Put the bobby pin through the metal washer (2) and catch the band loop with the collar pin (1).
4 - Put the bobby pin inside the hip piece (4) and into the bottom of the bell piece (3), out the top of the bell piece and out the top of the hip piece.
5 - The rubber band is probably stretching quite a bit by now, so grasp the bobby pin at the top of the hip piece with the pliers and pull the assembly tight.
6 - Put the bobby pin into the flat side of the tube guide (5) and out the rounded end.
7 - Put the bobby pin into the waist chest piece (6) and out the neck. Again grasp with the pliers and putt tight.
7 - Push the bobby pin through the neck collar (7) and pull up so the bobby pin is all the way out of the doll and the rubber band on it is exposed.
8 - Put the second collar pin on the rubber band to hold the whole assembly together and slide the bobby pin off the rubber band.
9 - You should now have a doll with one leg and the head missing. Twist the head onto the neck collar and the leg back into its socket and it's done!
