Hmmmm. Check these out:
6077 - The US release:
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=6077-1
The picture clearly shows a type 3 grey cylinder.
677 - The European version:
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=677
Inconclusive, but different picture.
But:
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/0000/0677/0677-01.html
The photograph in the european building instructions
clearly shows a type 2 grey cylinder.
And:
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/catalogs/1979/c79de/c79de-15.html
The 1979 German catalog also shows type 2s.
I'm thinking this is the confirmation we're looking for.
I have 677, and it's currently built from type 2s because that's what
my instructions showe... but that means nothing, as those pieces have
been mixed in with my parts collection for 20 years.
My yellow castle, on the other hand, has never gotten mixed in, and
as I said somewhere near the beginning of this thread, it has type 2s.
But I should note I got it in Europe - that may be a distinguinshing
factor.
