I recently got hold of an 8837, Pneumatic Excavator. The manual and

found black and transparent pneumatic tubing!

Anybody else have this set? Does it come with grey or transparent
tubing?

Yeah, this is the first time I've seen transparent tubing, too. There
was some dark grainy dust in the box, though, I wonder if something
affected the tubing.

Dark grey tubing? As in, nearly black, or as in dark grey like the
axle #3 with stud?

There is also a short bit of yellow tubing in 8250/8299, the search
sub. This attaches to the diver's mask and air tank. I've heard
somebody claim that this was pneumatic tubing, too, but this appears
not to be the case; it's much thinner.

Regards,

Johannes.
