I also have some other stuff, which I think is Betta-Build.  This time, I am
curious as to how much interest there would be in this 1960s Lego-alike
product.  Not only do I have a half a shoe-box full of the 2x1 bricks and a
few 6x6 plates and 6x1 bricks, I also have some of the roof tiles.
Probably more use to someone to supplement an existing Betta-Build set, they
are, again, no use to me.  Any interest?

Are these at all compatible with LEGO?  If so, I'd be interested, and I'd
certainly pay postage.

   TENTE is not LEGO-compatible.  The principles are much the
   same, and the outside brick dimensions are comparable, but
   the stud size (diameter, with open centres) is all different.

   Someone around here was specifically looking for TENTE, as
   I sold my TENTE ships to him.  Maybe he'll surface.

(...) Actually, I was wondering more about Betta-Build. I got four or five Tente 2x4 bricks in a recent eBay lot, and I was surprised to learn that the brick dimensions are so similar to, and yet so incompatible with, LEGO. Dave! (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
