Hi,
yesterday I came a cross a strange pump from set 8680
(http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=8680-1).
This is the pump I found:
What’s different from usual? The piston (I’ll call “piston” the black part and
“cylinder” the yellow/red part) is longer, as it comes from a long pneumatic
actuator (well, in old pneumatic series actuators and pump were the same stuff,
the difference was just a spring)
Usually this pump should be like the red one:
And in this picture you see it compared with both short and long actuators, so
you can notice it’s a “long piston/short cylinder” hybrid.
Did you ever come across this part?
Gianluca
PS no it’s not a custom part: no “modding” trace is visible and it perfectly
fits the original plastic blister in the box...
