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 we're on the subject of the 8860, what kind of shock absorbers did
it use? The pictures I have seen of the model on eBay auctions that say
"100% complete" or something similar use the light-gray small shocks (also
used on 8865), but the picture on the box seems to have some kinds of
springs wound around axles to make the suspension operate. Anyone know
something about this?
