| I am trying to run a light with the motor outputs on the handy board. I looked up the spec on the L293D and it claims to be capable of 600mA constant and 1.2A peak. The miniature light I am using draws about 300mA. When the light comes on the handy (...) (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Help with restoring old LEGO parts?

| Hi, I have aquired a significant part of my LEGO collection from the children of friends and neighbors. The up-side of this is that I can get about $500-$1000 worth of LEGO for only about $50-$100. Furthermore, these collections often contain older (...) (25 years ago, 21-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

Or are they still available for use? I know that #214/6 (2x2 (...) (25 years ago, 18-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct) !
