(...) Has anyone tried using the pumps as valves? IIRC, the first (red?) pneumatic valves only had the bottom pip for an air hose. If you remove the spring for the pump, might it work the same way? The pumps are kind of wide (and long) for (...) (25 years ago, 10-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Pitsco is still showing the "Pneumatic Circuit" (hand pump, valve, 48mm cylinder, and tubing) as being available for $9.50 on their website. It's annoying for robotics types to have to keep buying those pesky hand pumps in order to get valves (...) (25 years ago, 10-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

I am disappointed, specifically in the so called pneumatics parts pack (5218). This pack is nothing more than a boatload of Technics parts that you may or may not need sprinkled with one each of pneumatics parts that you actually want. You may need (...) (25 years ago, 9-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

Hey Brad, I don't know this for sure, but I am willing to bet that the micro motor will always be available, just not at certain times. LEGO will tell you they are not available because they are not in production, or are out of stock. They will make (...) (25 years ago, 9-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)
