In my ongoing quest to get all the sets I *wish* I had when I was a wee one...

(Thankfully Jake found those space shuttles a few years back--that's still my
personal fav. and i'm still very thankful I got one of those....)

A few months back I got the 6991 space monorail from eBay, for which, again, I
was extremely pleased.

Then I won an NXT, new in box, and been having fun with that ever since...

I set my sights so something a little older--it's a technic set coveted by me
since I first saw it in(probably) the Transactor magazine many moons ago...

Yes, the 9700 interface.

Wanted it, but could never afford it.

When I saw one on eBay years ago, the guy wanted a thousand dollars just for the
9700 interface.  Yeah, whatever--keep dreaming buddy.

However, an auction a few days ago--9700 with 9750--not only the interface, but
parts 'n pieces too!

And I got it for the low price of 100 bucks (ish)!!!

Yes I'm a geek.

Yes I'm going to haul out my old 8 bit computer system and see if it works!

Yes I'm wasting my time!

But eh, whatever :)
