Just a FYI in case someone from the US is thinking of striking it rich buying these sets and reselling them for $1.50US. The $1.49 + tax (in BC) is $1.70Cdn. $1.50US = $2.25Cdn Profit = 0.55 Cdn The four Canadian Tires I visited, only one had them (...) (25 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.market.shopping)

Thanks a lot, Reimer, for answering the Ir question. This gives a starting point for more playing around with the Ir. If only my palm had IR--maybe for Xmas.

Be very careful. I think they removed not only the plug but the rectifier circuit so do not use the Lego supply connected to the battery terminals. They may have protection against inserting the batteries backwards but then you would be connecting (...) (25 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
