Has anyone cracked opened one of the FOS units?

What is the light source?  I assume that there is only one light source that
is somehow distributed by the rotary action.

If the source is an LED, has anyone attempted to change the color?

I got Extreme Creatures about a month ago when it was last on special at • S@H
for $25. I guess for the Fibre Optic unit and the collection of parts, • it's not
a bad price.

As far as I can tell, it's the only way you can get the FOS main unit from
Lego. They offer replacement fibre elements 5227 through service parts, • but not
the main unit. You can always check eBay for either the FOS Multi Set 8456 • or
the Space Shuttle 8480, but either will be MUCH more than $25.

(...) The Light source is a LED. A super Bright one to be exact. Mounted on an arm that spins around the block. Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (24 years ago, 9-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
