These three turntable pieces appear to be separate parts that should make up one of these: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3404ac02#T=C . The complete turntable pieces don't appear to be designed to be taken apart. Does that mean these are from broken turntables or are another type altogether?

D'oh! Of course! No, I don't think they liquified. Mine appear to be in decent shape for 30-35 year old tires. How rough a cleaning should those hubs be able to handle? I seriously doubt anything from those tires actually got absorbed by the plastic. Or is that actually possible?

The tires were slightly stuck when I tried removing them. What is TLG?

I just removed a few classic heavy profile tires (those used for bulldozers, tractors, jeeps, etc. during the 80's and early 90's) from their hubs. Some hubs have stains like these: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RBy2R-noFIJfoUtxiUGMzNUDCzeQcAKf/view?usp=drivesdk The tires look and feel fine but it seems some of the foam/rubber (whatever) detoriated slightly where it touched the hub. Does anyone know how to clean this off? I tried soaking in several cleaning agents with no result.

I got that, this topic is about new Lego. The op should contact the Lego Group and be done with it already.

Agreed, try buying second hand Lego or accepting old stuff people don't want anymore. You'd be amazed at the crap you sometimes get along with your second hand Lego. Usually I just clean it or get rid of pieces that are beyond hope of recovery.

While I did not buy Lego, I have bought several storage bins and hydrogen peroxide... What does this have to do with Lego? The bins are to be able to sort all my parts properly and the H202 to bleach some stuff. I have mostly finished sorting three garbage bags worth of second hand Lego and some of it has obviously been out in the sun for waaay too long.

Okay, given the limited amount of reactions I decided to remove all videos. For anyone interested: I found several new models to add to my collection.

Okay, I just uploaded another video. I did this directly from my iPad and am not sure the video ended up in the right place. Flickr's interface is a bit confusing to me on a tablet. Is it me or is there very little traffic in this section of the forums? Here is a new link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/192055446@N05/shares/d3wny7

For anyone interested, I just uploaded three new videos. It seems this topic is rather quiet, has anyone had technical difficulties accessing my videos?

The latest video has been uploaded.

Thank you, I will be uploading another video soon. My neighbors have found the building instructions which should make sorting by rebuilding stuff easier.

I have bought a lot of new Lego, never had that happen to me. Worst I have had with new Lego was a damaged sticker sheet. Now if this had happened with old Lego's or second hand stuff, it would still be unusual but more likely. Usually I get stuff I buy second hand in decent shape but sometimes the seller goes too far in what the customer is supposed to accept. At least imho.
