		Re: cleaning lego bricks

		FS: box of old lego, tyco
I've got an box of old lego and tyco that I've been collecting as I come across various finds. About half of the box is old lego (playworn, scratched, or broken), and the other half is tyco (in good shape). The box weighs 8 pounds, and has mostly (...)

		Re: Cleaning old Lego
(...) It's entirely possible. I've noticed that there are two distinct versions of the old classic brown when produced in ABS (just the harder plastic used for 2x4 bricks, not the softer plastics), but they only really show up under blacklight. (...) (20 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Service Catalog gone from lego.com
Hey.. instead of cleaning out the old ABS then loading the new, maybe let the old ABS run nearly out, then load the new right on top. Theoretically (just a theory.. I don't know a molding machine from a persian lapdog), you'll end up with a couple (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.general)

		Re: Cleaning old Lego
(...) Lego has produced different shades of white and I always wondered if they were experimenting with additives. Some of the white bricks are just milkier, less brilliant, out of the box.

		Re: Cleaning old Lego
(...) Bleach is great for dirt, but yellowing of ABS is caused by a chemical breakdown of the plastic molecules, not surface dirt. ABS is not UV-stable, and natural ABS (which has a milky beige color) will turn brown and brittle/powdery over time. (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.general)

		Customizing Subgroup (was Re: Some Lego cleaning experiments)
A 1/4 part bleach to 3/4 parts water -- or some other milder conconction of bleach to water -- used on white, grey, or clear bricks and left to soak for 1- 2 weeks will absolutely work. I have done it, I know it for a fact that it works. The result (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Cleaning discolored white bricks
Hey, I'm no expert! I just got some Brasso about a week ago. It does take a long time, but a half hour is WAY too long. I found that you have to use a CLEAN surface. If its dirty, it doesn't seem to work. I started with a rag, but it got crap all (...) (24 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

		Is it OK to use new parts for old sets?
Hello everybody, I recently left my "dark ages" after 20 years of LEGO abstinence discovering that all of the nice things for LEGO-Trains I couldn't afford as a kid are now highly-desired relicts from the past (12V trains, electric points, signals (...) (24 years ago, 19-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)
