    Good news/bad news at OSI Headquarters

    Okay, so I just got an awesome 6MDM OSI playset. I never even knew this existed as a kid. For being mostly cardboard, it's pretty awesome (altho I'm not sure what to think of the glamour-shot of Steve Austin that Oscar has on his wall... and Jamie is no where to be seen).

    I was REALLY surprised by all the wires and battery compartment in the desk... but that's the bad news; I have no idea how anything works. So, does anyone has a scan of... or could point me to... a copy of the instruction sheet? I've scoured Google, but nothing. Help!

    I can't help you, but I'd still like to see some pics of the set.

      Oh yeah, take some pics? I've been wanting this set for many years. No idea how it works though.

              I have to pull it from storage tomorrow, but I'll try and walk you through it until then. The item Oscar is holding is a buzzer that actually goes in behind the white deposit box on the wall. You have a battery compartment underneath that holds, I believe, two D size batteries. Don't hold me to that, but I think that's right. They power that buzzer and the other feature which is a small light bulb that shines inside that translucent screen to the right inside the desk. Where it says "OSI Top Secret". You should have some film negatives that come with it. When you feed them through the bottom slot they go into this screen where you can view them when the bulb is on.

                    I know. Emeraldknight will tell you. I'm in the midst of remodeling my basement, so alot of it is in storage right now until I finish. I want everything to have a cool presentation. At least, everything that truly counts. I'm scheduled to get interviewed for a book with shots of my collection in it, but I'm really going to be cutting it close getting my remodeling done before he needs to get the shots. If I had more than one set of hands, I would probably be further along. But it's alot of work to tear down old paneling and put up new drywall, sand, and paint it all. THEN move my collection back into it. I'm going to get there though. Then the pics will come. Promise Mike!

                            I found another playset I never knew existed, while I was checking Google for OSI instructions... the Bionic Woman had a classroom playset, complete with erasable chalk board!
