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.
