Hi all, I noticed that the box for the <set:8860> car chassis has a scissors lift. The scans of the instructions on brickshelf: (URL) do not have any instructions for the scisssors lift. Was there a second book in the box or was this just a (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'm afraid there was only one instruction book. The scissor lift did not feature in it, it must just have been a box-suggestion, (whatever happened to them?) Sorry to disappoint you Psi (24 years ago, 16-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That's too bad; the scissor lift seems to be one of the more interesting box-idea models. I think many of the smaller and medium-sized Universal from 1989 to 1993 or so had the model ideas on the box as well as the older models. BTW while (...) (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I've got two copies, one of which which I got for Christmas in the year of release. Both use 'Shock Absorber 6.5l's. I always assumed (even as a kid) that the box photo was a prototype and the shocks were added due to some design flaw of the (...) (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

Hi I have 3 copies of the 8860 and i believe that they all use the grey taps - but i have MISB 8860 in the attic somewhere, so i will have a look for it tonight and to see if it has the chrome ones on? Do you remeber when you opened your 8860 that (...) (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

Are you sure about that?? When I bought the 8480 Space Shuttle back when it came out, on page 53, instruction 32, they slipped a correction sheet in it. It was NOT stapled to the original instruction. Adrian "David Wegmuller" <david@wegmuller.org> (...) (24 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.technic)
