I don't play with it but all my old stuff is used regularly by my Sons constructing wonderful things.

My favourite 'box' was the eduction set. from the early 80's but I got it in the late 80's

I had tons and gave it all away when I grew up! Would love to play with it again now.

My faves were the 8860 and the 8848:

These were mine :

But I think that mine must have been a mid model update as it had springs that looked like a traditional coil over with an eyelet on each end

I also had one of the first pneumatic sets but I can't find a picture of that :-(

My brothers was even more retro :

Good stuff and kept us amused for ages ...

I have that car one or my brother did, well we have the manual, as for the parts, in tiny pieces in a box lol, dates from 1980 btw
