Hey you guys,
don't be so cruel about one of my favorite sets, that cute yellow forklift.
Okay, it tipped over easily, but with some weight in the back it wasn't that
bad. The handles didn't work. So? I've seen tech models with a dummy
steering wheel...
Maybe I'm just a bit sentimental as it was my first technic model....
For a reminder of the alternative models see

I still have to scan that last page... and then do the helicopter. These
were the instructions of the very first series. No piece count for every
step, no book, but a big sheet. Pity I only have them for 850/852...

It was great fun to play with! It was also a great set for parts. (...) (24 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)
