Looking For Old Lego Documents

Legobuilder178

I'm looking to see if anyone is able to help find a load of the old Lego documents in which can be downloaded and if anybody has a lot of the documents in which they are able to upload them so that they can be downloaded, I'm also looking to see if anyone has the full parts list for the old Lego technic parts as I'm looking to get a load for projects I will be doing.

if anyone has old lego documents in which they are willing to upload I would be very grateful. :)

If you are referring to instructions, there is peeron.com which should have many of the old Technic instructions there. You can also buy them via bricklink.com, and also find part inventory lists for those sets as well.

Legobuilder178

yes, in a way but I am mainly looking for old lego leaflets and documents for a wide range of part lists and numbers. the info you have given will be very useful though, so thank you.:)

You're being unusually vague.  "Old" something different to everyone.  "Old" can mean 50s some or 90s others.  Specifically, what years are you looking?  If you're looking for 50s or 60s I have some links I can share.  If you're looking for set inventories of Technic sets, as long as they are pre-2010 sets Peeron is your best bet.

I am looking for 50s 60s and so on. I really need as many old documents as I can possibly get, I am a huge fan of all the old lego sets including the technic if you have anything which contains old documents and part lists and that, I would be very grateful if you are able to supply any old documents that you have.

Thanks.:)

If you want as many old LEGO documents as you can get, I have to recommend the guide in the above link, written by forum regular @Istokg. It is an incredible collection.

Legobuilder178

That's a good site, however I cannot see the information on there that I am particularly looking for at the moment, it will be useful for other information in which I will require eventually. The information you have given me is very useful though.

Thanks.:)

Don't forget our own document repository, https://brickset.com/library.

Parts lists and instructions for old Technical sets can be found on their respective pages e.g. https://brickset.com/sets/850-1/Fork-Lift-Truck

Legobuilder178

oh. I didn't realize that you did instructions and documentation. I will have a look at those at some point.

I have a brand new leaflet from 1977, probably would be good scanning material. I’ll take a look later today.

Legobuilder178

that will be good help if you are able to do that.

thanks.:)

If you're looking for 50/60's era Technic information you're in for the long haul. There's a ton of information allready online and you're being pretty vague. Have you searched and do you actually know what you're looking for?

Legobuilder178

yes I know what im looking for. I am especially after the old lego service manuals.

FowlerBricks

You know, Lego.com has pretty much every instruction book ever on their website.

Legobuilder178

Not the service manuals I'm looking for.

Huw

Exactly what are 'service manuals'? Do you have an example? I've not heard of them.

Perhaps you mean these? https://brickset.com/library/catalogues?query=%Service%

stlux

@legobuilder178 If you know which service manuals you are looking for, why don't you tell us the numbers/names?
You claim to be looking for something specific, but you just keep adding one vague post after another.

Legobuilder178

Legobuilder178

This is the service manual. Looking for more of these.

stlux

@Huw has linked those. Bit of a stretch to call them service manuals; these are the precursor to Pick-a-Brick. They will not have the full range of parts used in sets from those years, just the ones you could order separately.

If you want to see the parts used in sets from certain eras, your best bet is still the set part lists posted here on Brickset or on Bricklink.

Legobuilder178

Oh. I didn't realize. I will have to have a look. Is there a way of downloading a list of all the old Lego technical parts.

LusiferSam

Brickfetish has a pretty good collection of 50s and 60s inserts. 

Peeron's catalog library is another resource.  I find they have never have the catalog I want though.  But this is normally US 80s.

BrickShelf users sometimes have old catalog scans.  Sorry I can point to specific users.

Legobuilder178

That has some useful documents. Thank you.:)

Given that Technic started in the late 70s, finding 50s or 60s era Technic sets would quite a feat.  :P

No, they don't.  It's not even close to "all".  There are nearly 60 years worth of instructions to be had.  Lego.com really only has the last 15 years worth.  The furthest they go is 1994, that's only a single set.

FowlerBricks

Oh, okay. I was mostly just spitting back up what they had said on the instructions page awhile back.

Legobuilder178

I don't know why Lego didn't keep all of the old Lego documents on there site.

oldtodd33

@Legobuilder178   You might try this site also, he has a lot of scans. http://www.brickfactory.info/index.html

Legobuilder178

That is a very helpful site. Thank you.:)

Legobuilder178

I am looking to find the very first lego documents. Cheers legobuilder178
