| | | (...) I noticed on your site you have a bit of a comparison between FT & LEGO pneumatics. Do you have a comparison of the cylinders? I'm wondering whether FT have a longer cylinder than LEGO? Thanks ROSCO (23 years ago, 10-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

| | | | | (...) The FT work is progressing rather slowly, I'm afraid, due to much difficulty in photographing the FT elements. They're mostly black and dull sort of red and don't come out well unlike the colorful LEGO bricks. The FT large cylinder is just a (...) (23 years ago, 10-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | (...) Somehow I can't see opening a MIB copy of this just to get these parts. :-) Assuming you could find one. But if you found one that had damaged parts, using stuff from 9705 (or whichever it was) doesn't seem quite so bad. (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | (...) Well, Larry, you can say there's always some dumb fool who has done it. As a matter of fact, I did have a MIB 8680 Arctic Rescue Base set. It's the only thing I have that's got the early pneumatics. So I simply had to open up the box to see (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

I was just saying I thought it was a bit ironic that this particular (technic holy grail??) set would be a source... Sets are to be enjoyed. I am gonna (...)
