Thanks for all the replies ! Turned out the person was selling just the control unit (the earlier one of the 8094 set, without power adapter port(*)), so it wasn't a good deal at all. Will keep looking around for this set occasionally. (*) For some reason, Bricklink refers to both as 2840cXX, unlike the posts in the beginning of the thread.

(I hope replying to a 6-y.o. thread isn't a breach of etiquette, but this is the most relevant thread on the Control Centers I found (-: ) I may have an opportunity to get an 8094 Control Center I for fairly cheap. It's claimed to be in good condition, but I would have to buy it sight unseen . A few questions: 1) Is it possible to use NiMH rechargeable batteries in the control center (this is obviously the version without a socket for a power adapter)? 2) Even better, is it likely that AA-to-C size adapters like http://www.amazon.co...r/dp/B009631ULK would work (both size wise, and in providing enough current -- assume I use Eneloop-type slow-discharge AAs with 2500mAh each)? Needing to buy C-size rechargeables and a charger just for this would be a bit of a pain... 3) I assume the Technic pen will be long dried out. Is it possible to refill it? If so, with what/how? Is the pen standard sized, so most standard felt-tipped pens would work as well? 4) On the plotter model, is the paper used standard-sized A4 / US Letter ? Thanks for any info (-: (returned to Lego this year after my long Dark Age...)
