  Re: Mindstorm Recall?
 
(...) The difference in parts seems to be minor, look here: (URL) of course the RCX 1.5 doesn't have a power adaptor, so they won't be able to recycle them. Also, as far as I could see, DACTA always sold bricks with the power adaptor. Jürgen "should (...) (24 years ago, 13-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
