Hello,

I am new to bricklink. I have a vintage Lego space cruiser from end of 1970s
with missing parts. I have the numbers of parts missing. I went in the want to
buy section. When I enter the part number (original number from the set) in the
search engine, it says « not found » as I guess part to old. Then, if I look
in the « select item », there are too many categories... When I enter my set
number (legoland 924), nothing is found as I suppose set too old. Is there a
vintage piece section that would accept my original piece numbers or I need to
try to find the piece that matches th best in the multiple categories? Is there
a faster way? Also, the are several types of color blue. Are the vintage space
collections (end of 1970s) « violet-blue »? And what type of « grey » were the
pieces of that period?

Thank you
