BAYKO Sets #0 to #3 Instruction Manual -
January, 1957 - 18th Issue
This Instruction Manual was produced by Plimpton for their basic range of BAYKO sets - sets #0 to #3, and was the bread and butter of BAYKO's heydays. |
It is print coded January, 1957, and designated as being the "18th issue". The printer's code also tells us that 100,000 cpoies were printed. |
There is a rather unexpected change on Page 21 [below], considering how long the original version survived unchanged. The model includes two Large Windows and two Long Bricks, with a floating 2-Brick Rod, over the porch. For some reason, Plimpton decided to add the instruction - "The 2 Brick Rod between the large windows over the porch can be secured in position with a small rubber band." - so now you know! |
Page 33 [below] contains an ongoing anomaly. The list of new parts included in sets #3X and #4 continues to omit the Dome and both the Pinnacle Roof and Platform, despite the fact that these were certainly included following the launch of set #4 early in 1952. |
There were several versions of this manual during its 10 year life... |
...I will eventually try and show all the versions - but this will take a very long time. |
