I've seen pictures.... Do you have any for sale or trade?

I lost the auction I was bidding on this one :-(.

I have 4. I need the sidecar.

I am aware of the 1/2 rounds, and don't have any :-(. I might have an old
macaroni without notch, but I'll have to look.

I don't. Of course, I'd like to ;-).

I'll have to look for the curved ones without waffles. I do have a couple of
4x8 grey waffle backs. No red or black.

I have them (mostly one each) in green only. The studs are slightly concave
giving them almost sharp edges.

I'm not sure, but I think so. I'll have to look. Remember, I'm focusing on
piece type only, not color. Also I am aware of many variations of a piece as
it was moved from acetate through ABS and over the years. However, that
said, I am interested in obtaining variations as part of the "whole
collection". I'd appreciate any help you'd care to offer....

I'm assuming here you mean protruding/non-protruding window sills. If so, I
do have some of the variations you've listed for each type, but I know I
don't have all the colors. This is another one I'll have to look up.

I have the counterweight doors (counterweights attached at factory type and
one with separate c.w.s but the c.w.s are missing) and a pair of spring
doors, two baseplates - one for the spring doors and several for the tip
type (white and grey). I don't have the clear tip-type door. I have frames
in red and white - I'm not sure about grey. I don't have the red base piece.
But, again I am not specifically seeking color variants.
Wow, thanks Gary. You've given me some more to look at and for. I'll let you
know what I find.
