(...) I was making up some 1/2 scale blocks (2x2 tile on 2x2 brick on 2x2 plate) the other night and randomly pulled out some of my old "childhood-era" (mid 70's) 2x2 bricks, and noticed the absolutely horrible quality control it shows...

(...) Not suer how you come up wit that conclusion. These bricks are from my old sets, purchased in Canada between 1973-1978. I am suspecting these specific bricks came from set 256-1 released in 1976. I would doubt that these were 10 year old (...)

(...) Hi Rob, thanks for your feedback! In that case I would think these are US-made bricks, since the LEGO-logo on top of the bricks is of the old design. This has been used within Europe (= Billund made bricks) only in combination with CA-bricks (...) (17 years ago, 3-Jan-07, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I would be interested in the result, Rob. Just for your information: CA has a much higher material damping coefficient in comparison to ABS. So CA will make less noise and sound very dump when it hits the ground. Especially for the classical (...) (17 years ago, 3-Jan-07, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
