Hello all,

I need help.

I won an auction on eBay selling an old 855 mobile crane. Since it came with
the box, I took for granted it came with instructions. It didn't, and the
seller let me know only 18 hours before the end of auction (so I couldn't
retract my bid).  I ended up winning an item I didn't want anymore.

That wouldn't be so bad, if the instructions for set 855 on brickshelf were
halfway decent! They're so bad that I can't read the numbers next to the
bricks. I don't think anyone will disagree with me here.

I did not find these to be totally unusable when I looked at them but they
certainly are not the best

I would be eternally grateful to any kind soul who could either

1) Sell me the original instructions of 855 or 955 (very unlikely)
2) Make a GOOD scan of the original unstructions if you have the set yourself
or even better:
3) Find someone in the AFOL community who can make me a a good scan of those
instructions!

Maybe you could win this auction or work with the seller or buyer?

It looks like it has very nice instructions with it in the pic.

Hope that helps. Disclaimer, I have nothing to do with that auction, cannot
vouch for the seller, etc etc.

I think the brickshelf ones are ok... I would not mind getting this set just as parts, it is (in my opinion) one of the best technic sets ever.
