Singing Douglas Fir (Halloween, talking, prop, animated, tree)

This auction is for 1 Singing Douglas Fir Christmas tree by Gemmy. The tree has been tested and is fully functional. Gemmy made several versions of this animated tree. This one has the highly sought after auxiliary mini input jack to accept an alternate input source for music and speech. This allows you to provide your own sound track or dialog for the tree’s mouth and eyes to react to (simulated talking movements - animation). This version of the tree is also powered by a power adaptor (no batteries required). The auction includes the full tree, power adaptor, patch cord, and original cassette tape with additional music/sounds for Xmas (if you choose to use if for Christmas and still have a cassette player). These days, I suggest using an MP3 player.

Here are some example links that demonstrate the use of the Douglas Fir to animate a talking Halloween prop, most commonly a skull.
