I am not familar with this set however it sounds like the same piece as in the Technic Space Shuttle. I had the same problem. The part that turns is very sesative to binding by other pieces. Make sure it is mounted loosely and that the center turns (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)

| | Fiber Optic problems...
|
|
I'm having fiber optic problems with 6979, the UFO set. I think that the fiber optic wires are supposed to be turning on alternately but the motor (if that's what it is) isn't turning. Is anyone familiar with the system that can tell me if I did (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)

All, The GFLTC was going to organize a LEGOFest at the H & R spring show(1), but it’s not going to happen. I met with the owners of H & R Trains for more than an hour. I showed them my plans for the event and they thought it was great idea, but (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

Legoville has a lot of custom made signs, but they don't stick very well because all I use is typing paper and rubber cement. I want to get sticker paper, but where the @$%*! do I get that? (25 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.town)
