Technic piece wanted. —Larry Pieniazek

followups to bst because this is a wanted... I need a boatload of the technic light grey 1 1/3 connector.. you know the one, it's a technic pin on one side, the grey kind so it's loose, and a hollow stud on the other side. I use 24 of these in each (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jun-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains)

(...) surly you could find a device in an electonics store or something that would adjust the voltage? i know they exist... (25 years ago, 13-Jun-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Re: Technic piece wanted. —Larry Pieniazek

(...) Of course I can. In fact I could even just rig up a 12V supply myself out of parts. But that would not be Lego. (25 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Re: Technic piece wanted. —Selçuk Göre

(...) Maybe you should consider building a working lego electric generator, so you could stop consuming non-lego electricity....:-) There is a 110 V lego trafo by the way. It's set number 742, but I think it's very hard to find a working copy, since (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jun-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Re: Technic piece wanted. —Larry Pieniazek

(...) Hehe, very funny. :-) I'm not THAT pure. I tend to think that if Lego designed and sourced a power plug, it's OK that the socket the plug plugs into to draw power from the mains is not Lego. Analogous to using the MS CD to load in a Lego IDE (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jun-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Re: Technic piece wanted. —Simon Robinson

Perhaps the test should be whether you can hide the non-lego part, either by having it a long way away from the Lego (like a plug connected by a lead) or by burying it inside your Lego model and surrounding it by bricks so you can't see it. Would (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Re: Technic piece wanted. —Larry Pieniazek

(...) No. The true craftsman would know. I'm not a true craftsman but I would know too. The GMLTCers rag on me all the time because I want to get details that the public will not see correct, such as making buildings symmetrical and architectually (...)

Slippery Slope (was Re: Technic piece wanted) —John Neal

(...) AAh, the slippery slope. First, it's "I *could* rewire the whole house to 220 to avoid using a transformer; this is *merely* a convenience." Then it's "this Tyco block *is* the same color, and I'm sure TLG would get around to making this (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Re: Slippery Slope (was Re: Technic piece wanted) —Jeremy H. Sproat

(...) Does this imply that Larritarians can have other bricks *after* Lego? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Re: Slippery Slope (was Re: Technic piece wanted) —James Brown

(...) I think the more significant question, is can they have other bricks *beside* Lego :) James (URL) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Re: Slippery Slope (was Re: Technic piece wanted) —John Neal

(...) Okay, first off, James, the 7th Commandment forbides "committing Adulegotry";-) Sproat, I'm not sure there *are* any bricks after Lego, unless you are talking about <shudder> Best-Lock [1] [1] The brick of choice by Satan in Hell.

Re: Technic piece wanted. —Thomas Main

(...) I couldn't tell from your picture which piece you meant. Is this perhaps one of the pieces that DACTA is now selling in lots of 100? (...) There is a 110V-12V Lego transformer. I used to have one. It is blue with a red control knob, and has (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Larry (...) Try Pitsco. They sell 100 of these for $10. I can scan-in the sheet of connectors and e-mail if you wish. Let me know....... Eric r2eng@primenet.com (25 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Re: Technic piece wanted. —Larry Pieniazek

(...) I THINK the one they sell is the dark grey 1 1/2 connector rather than the light grey 1 1/3 connector. I have 2 catalogs myself. For some reason I seem to remember coming to that conclusion last time I talked to them. Go here and you'll see (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
