Gizmo Furby, beautiful on the inside

Inspired by Furlexa I decided to finish dismantling my Gizmo (a friend of Furby) with a view to upgrading it to a Raspberry Pi, and maybe play around with a sound/voice interface. Not to work with Amazon, but rather because I never did get that Teddy Ruxpin I always wanted. *wistful sigh*

Gizmo (1999) and their friend Furby (1998) are basically the same creature, apart from the outer skin and eye appearance. So the process for disassembling is mostly the same.

Except, Gizmo has larger ears (the 'bones' having two holes). To support this there are ear casings on top of the carapace/shell, screwed together. So when taking the carapace apart there are the four screws found in a regular Furby, but also a fifth screw in the ear casings. After removing the screw the ear casings come away in two parts. You must remove the ear casings to get at the fourth/head screw.

There are also two rubber sheathed wires that act as arm supports screwed onto the carapace. But these don't do anything and aren't connected to anything, so you can leave them attached to the carapace as you remove it.

Otherwise the only difference I noticed was that my wires are different colours from any description I could find. Which is not as many as there should have been because many of the links are now dead. In the hopes of making this easier for other people here are some detailed pictured with wires labelled.
