I have a bunch of animatronic props that I've acquired over the years but they don't really activate all that well. Most use either a motion sensor or are sound activated. Neither work very well. II was wondering if there was a cheap and easy way to modify them to go off by a timer instead? I don't mind rewiring or soldering.

Simple prop controller to activate the contacts and trigger the props. Then just a simple routine program to trigger the props one a timed interval. The EFX-TEK Prop-1 would give you the option of triggering up to 8 different props.

Because of smaller ToT's, we prefer to control when a prop goes off.
What we have done is created a control box with push buttons/doorbells. Used speaker wire to go from button to the props "try me" wires, after I cut off the button.
Worked well and was easy to do when you remembered what button did what (we labeled them for this year).

I'm not so sure if all of my props have a try me feature.
