It is not from PAB. That was just an example to show that there are also legit ways to get unreleased lego parts. I bought the part from bricklink my self in 2014. I think the point is that even if you bought the part here a decade ago, who is to say that that seller's source was legitimate? ~Jen The part has been retired for 30 years. This is 99.9% sure just a test part that escaped the factory. Especially in the 1990s, there were many legal ways such parts found their way out of the factory. Leftover parts were, for example, sold in model shops and employee shops. Employee children got to play with prototype sets to evaluate them, and were allowed to keep them. Those were different times.
