| | | | | (...) Jim, a nice suggestion. I love the escapement mechanism. But can't see how this would make us to save a sensor: we still need to know WHEN it's time to read the code sensor, I mean when the escapement is in one of its two terminal positions. (...)

The set has the old white Technic axles and red bushings. (...) (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)

Is there any way I could find out what the market value of a complete set would be? Cheers, - jsproat (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)

| | | | | | Dunno, but I have several of these gears, no box or anything else, that I would trade away. If anyone is interested, I'll dig them all out and get a list of which ones I have.

There was a very nice black chain too with two studs on each piece, ideal to join any standard (...) (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)
