| | | 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 think there was more than one version of this set released. The one I have had for since I was a kid (I think its 20 years old?) had the lt grey taps, but several people I have talked to had the crome ones (one guy was from canada). Maybe the sets (...)

Notice that the opposite mirror in the lower subassembly is fine and in fact it's the same as the upper one (instead of being a mirror image) except for the hole. Perhaps that's a clue as to (...)
