Which part is this?

Hello. Sorry I havn't been on lately, but I had alot of schoolwork.

Anyways, at school, we have a class called Technology where we learn about inventions and machines. Today, we used LEGOs to build levers.

These sets were in a small, rectangular box, about 8-9 inches long by 5-6 inches wide by about 2 inches deep. The box was yellow and had a clear plastic tray. It contained (I cannot remember how much of each brick and what) about 4 long technic beams, a few small 1x2, 1x4 and 1x6 technic beams, some black and grey connrectors, some 2x2 plates and tiles, a few 1x2 tiles, and (This is the important one) A black brick 6 or 8 studs long, 2 studs wide, and 2 studs high. It was a heavy brick because it had a weight in it.

Out of 15 sets, about 7 sets were incomplete without this box. I wanted to help my teacher so I searched on Brickset.com and on Bricklink.com. No luck.

If you can, can you please help me find a dealer that sells these bricks or sets? That would be appreciated

I'm fairly sure the piece you are referring to is the boat weight, available on some older sets. I have no idea what set it would from, at least not from what you are talking about, though it could be from any of those Dacta sets. I hope this helps!

This might be what you are looking for: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=73090b

Edit: Beat me to it. But yes, we both had the same idea.

Just klick on "This Part Appears In:22 Sets (View Them)" in the link provided and you'll see the sets it came in.

I just realized that the weight came in red as well. Wow. Didn't know that.

I think you may be after the weight piece from the city crane set from about 3? years ago.

Hi guys

ive recently inherited 12ks of lego, amongst them was the following part, ive trawled through various sites but i dont see it listed or pictured anywhere. its from the pat pend era so i cant look up a part number unfortunately. This part is very heavy at the cylinder bit, seem like it could be a counterweight or something of that ilk.

hopefully someone out there can recognise it !

thanks !

That looks to me to be this piece.
