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?

Cleaning stained wheelhubs
Peter Swinkels replied to Peter Swinkels's topic in General LEGO Discussion
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? -
Cleaning stained wheelhubs
Peter Swinkels replied to Peter Swinkels's topic in General LEGO Discussion
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.

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.

Okay they should be visible on Flickr now: https://www.flickr.com/photos/192055446@N05/shares/94A48f And I have an Instagram account but haven't figured out how to upload videos there yet.
-
Okay, I could see if I can create a Flickr or Instagram account. Thanks for the tip. Okay they should be visible on Flickr now: https://www.flickr.com/photos/192055446@N05/shares/94A48f

Another quick update: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cJUHjqVtlY83zgFWSChw3rwM2oVdlcRV/view?usp=sharing Note: At the end I forgot to mention the toys (in plastic bags) at the bottom of the cupboard were non-Lego related items I found in the Lego hoard. It seems people do view this thread but have nothing to say about it except Man With The Beard, why is that?

Okay, I just noticed the "Notify me of replies" button while creating this thread. Is it possible to enable notifications of all replies by default? I just found out several people replies to threads I participate in but I got no replies. And yes, I have checked my junk mail folder. There are no notifications there. Could someone help me out with this please? I should notice replies in my e-mail because I set the "Notify" switch to on. Thank you. EDIT: I checked, I have the "admin <AT> eurobricks [DOT] com" e-mail address in my "safe senders" list.

Be patient, Lego has made sets of other classic cartoons. Perhaps they will do a He-Man set. Have you submitted this as an idea to the Lego Group?

Hello, my name is Peter Swinkels->
Peter Swinkels replied to Peter Swinkels's topic in Hello! My name is...
Oh my, thank you for your kind replies. Yes,I will most certainly have fun cleaning and sorting! Have a nice day! -
Good day, Here's a another update. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rE_L32OPf1PlD7aOnklcpkwns-JdcDnd/view?usp=sharing I see there are very few replies, if this topic is somehow inappropriate, it should perhaps be deleted or closed by a moderator. Yes, it is a rather personal thread, but I think it is odd no one on a Lego forum would be interested in a huge collecttion of Lego. What am I not seeing here? Bye for now. Peter Swinkels

Hi, Are you a He-Man fan? Did you own any of the He-Man toys? Have a nice evening, yours, Peter Swinkels.

Okay, here is quick update: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W8FEg002CDMiac5F6sbsAF4cjSEBo0uY/view?usp=drivesdk Feel free to ask questions. It may be a while before I reply though.

Thank you, yes it is nice to be on a forum with others interest in Lego. I changed my access settings on Google Drive. Do the links work now?
