This place is in a smaller town in Alabama. They deal in items left in Baggage. They get a rubber Doll with a bunch of machinery in it. It's in bad shape. Someone's Cousin is a "Doll Guy." He fixes it. He does what he does to Dolls. To a doll it might work, to this it was a disaster.
No real mystery other than how does a Store that sells Salvage, located in a rural town not know about a small, fierce hobby concerned with Prop Collecting? Crazy that, how dare them.
I have an idea that they're tickled with the job he did, because they don't care about the accuracy - they just wanted him fixed to display.
Laffo.
