Faceted beads scoop well with the LEGO front-end loader, back hoe, and Technic seat. The 8mm size works better than the 6mm size. LEGO Shop at Home (telephone 1-800-453-4652 anytime) sells the front-end and backhoe scoops in Service Pack #5284 for (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jan-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)

At the risk of being pilloried, (but I gotta know), would you consider selling the clock (or a clock)?

| | Using an RCX
|
|
Good idea, I have built a prototype pendulum clock using the RCX that has a realistic tick tock sound and swinging pendulum. Instead of weights it uses the RCX to give the pendulum a 'kick' every second, this allows it to run indefinetly. Now I just (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
