 | | Rectangular 4,5V battery boxes - correction
|
|
The description of parts "x468*" on Peeron is incorrect. This post is only a try to make it better but somebody can disagree with me (that's why I am not posting it directly to Peeron). There were three main types of rectangular boxes for three 1,5V (...) (18 years ago, 5-Sep-07, to lugnet.parts, lugnet.inv)

(...) Considering what I have in mine and what Gary writes I wonder if the 2x6 plate could have been put in versions at the end of the set run to test it out or to use some they may have produced. Lego has done this several times. They also produced (...) (18 years ago, 2-Sep-07, to lugnet.inv, lugnet.parts)

The Inventory for 112-2 on Peeron is wrong! Please have a look at the inventory on Bricklink where it is correct. As I own this set I can confirm that it has no Plate 2 x 6. To see how it has to be build, look at my personal OMR on my webside (...) (18 years ago, 2-Sep-07, to lugnet.inv, lugnet.parts)

And if that's not confusing enough... I also have 2x6 plates with "Pat. Pend." removed from the mold in red, white, blue, yellow and black. Some of the plates had the "Pat.

(...) <snip> The plate 2x6 sounds very surprising to me. Maybe some brick historians can answer this question. 1. Peeron says about the plate 2x6: 1966 gray in 112-2, 1967 white in 371-2, then nine years nothing, 1977 in five colours. The database (...) (18 years ago, 30-Aug-07, to lugnet.inv, lugnet.parts)

This piece : (URL) called a 25 degree slope, but everyone else calls it a 33 degree slope. Why the discrepancy? Is it really 33 or 25 degrees? And if it's 33 degrees, why doesn't LEGO update the product name? If it's really 25 degrees, why doesn't (...) (18 years ago, 5-Aug-07, to lugnet.parts)
