Thanks Eric,
for pointing this out. I just wanted to check, if 107 was from 1976 or 1975 and
now I saw first time in my life, that set number 107 has not only used twice but
three times. I never saw the samsonite 107 so far (which is in fact identical
with "our" 100).

I had the 4.5 V motor with the technic axle hole in mind, when you mentioned
107. Now I see I just misinterpreted your correct information.
Kind regards,
Ben
