Nor I (hangs head in shame ... :-()

You could rather easily, though, do the equivalent of a cylinder leak-down
test and inject compressed air in each cylinder.

Who knows, they may be electrically incompatible, or have different

You'd need to do it in increments, at each increment in time exchanging
chronologically newer money (dollar bills) for chronologically older money
repetitively to get the same number of dollars that are worth more at
earlier dates.

But even then, you'd only get a brand-new rod bender.

Re: [MBZ] M119 idle control/cruise actuator E420

2007-12-30 Thread OK Don
I don't know the answer, but my guess is that the actuators were
changed to match changes in the controlling circuitry, or that the
supplier just had a better idea for producing them at a lower cost and
substituted the new part in. However, I think those cases are just
listed as superceded parts in the EPC, not unique parts per engine
number.

I have a similar question about the vacuum pump on my '90 602 - the
EPC (and Rusty's catalog) call for a different VP for this year,
certain engine number range, and it's ~ $150 more than the pumps
before and after it. Could I use the less expensive pump???

Is just the allen bolt.  And thread sealer.  If you ream out

  Kaleb et al.
It's possible that the valves would survive as they are vertical to 
the piston crowns. However there is the question of compressed 
(stunted) valves and the side push allowed by loose guides.
Measure twice and pray? As the cam broke, its hollow and liable to 
break if miss-torqued, the cam bearings will also need scrutiny.
Is the timing vault cover and/or the oil pan cracked from the flailing chain?
Happened on my 601. bent #1 intake and the subsequent running wore a 
slot in the lifter. PO, not me!

I wouldn't put another engine in it, fix the original one and it will be 
worth more.
That and the engine may well be a high compression one as compared to 
the ones that where build for the US market.
If you are going the new engine route I would suggest you find a wrecked 
SL or SLC and swap over, something like a 380 or 450 would be good.
However if you are gonna get serious make sure you check for rust, even 
with a stuffed engine 3K is pretty cheap for an 85. Would be worth at 
least 3x as much over here, even with a buggered engine.

The starter should have enough torque. The compressed air will act as
springs against pistons on the way back down.

Grossly bent valves will be easy to see. Slightly bent valves will not
and bent is bent.

Won't that be a bit tricky to turn the engine over with both valves
closed?

I suspect that you'll be able to see the bent valves by the height of
the
valve stems once the cam's out.

[MBZ] M119 idle control/cruise actuator E420

2007-12-30 Thread Kaleb C. Striplin
Im sure nobody here knows, but thought i would ask anyway.  On the E420, 
the epc says there are 2 different idle control/cruise actuators (sits 
over the throttle).  One up to a certain engine, then one past a certain 
engine (without ASR, there are others with ASR).  What is the difference 
between the 2?  Could one from the earlier series of engines be used on 
the later series?  I cant see what difference there would be.

Re: [MBZ] The death of high fidelity

2007-12-30 Thread Tom Hargrave
I know the controllers.

It's amazing how far storage has come. When I bought my ST225, it was huge
at 20 MB (not 20 GB, for those who have not been involved in computers very
long). Then I upgraded to a full height 40 MB ST251!

My every day use cheap camera has a 512 MB Sandisk memory card, not at all
large by today's standards!

Hmm, I haven't tried to boot up the old 286 in a while, like maybe
8 years. Whole system worked fine in 1999, most of the parts were
12-15 years old then. 
I've got one of those extended slot (pre-pci) controllers so I can't
try to run them in a modern computer.

Re: [MBZ] 60x with broken chain and cam

2007-12-30 Thread Zeitgeist
Won't that be a bit tricky to turn the engine over with both valves closed?

I suspect that you'll be able to see the bent valves by the height of the
valve stems once the cam's out.

This only happened once so it's not a real pressing problem.  Went to

lights in the dash came on as usual but then they went off immediately.  The

Glow light went out also.  I recycled the key and all was as normal. 
Started instantly as usual, I then drove it ~8-10 miles, got it fully warmed

up and tried the all-around drivability including the acceleration - runs 
*great* - turbo is spooling up and producng plenty of power.

It hasn't done it again - hopefully it won't.  It's pouring down rain so

I didn't feel like doing much diagnosis - maybe tomorrow.

It's battery is less than 8 mo old as is the alternator.  Battery is 
AutoZone diesel - top of the line.  The alternator is pretty new also & was 
bought from Rusty. ;-)  I'll put a meter on it tomorrow ---

Any ideas?

Do a compression test with the chain & cam out. All the valves will be up &
you'll know right away. Those cylinders with bent valves will measure much
lower than the others. I'm predicting 2 cylinders will read low.

You can certainly do that, but I would turn the engine over by hand at
least two revolutions before trying to start it in case you still have
piston/valve interference.

Hmm, I haven't tried to boot up the old 286 in a while, like maybe
8 years. Whole system worked fine in 1999, most of the parts were
12-15 years old then. 
I've got one of those extended slot (pre-pci) controllers so I can't
try to run them in a modern computer.

[MBZ] 85 280SL

2007-12-30 Thread tony . bateman
I just ran over and took a look at this SL, looks good
But I'd have to find/put engine in I guess, probably not worth the 
hastle but I like the six and the bumpers on a euro. I figure
3k or less for the car, and $2500 for another engine installed
5-5.5k for a sweet little SL for the summer.

You still have a functioning Seagate ST 225 & Seagate 251??? I had one of
each with a Winchester drive controller. They made controllers for the
smaller drives too, not just the large platter drives.

I've got a 225 or two if you want to trade another Mamiya for it. 
Also have the 40mb, I think it's a ST251.
I believe my Dad still has a Winchester disk pack laying around,
the platters are almost as big as LPs.

Re: [MBZ] 1967 200D labor of love

2007-12-30 Thread Bob Hamilton
Yes, before I close up the rocker panels, I coat the inside with a rust 
inhibitor type paint.  On the drivers side, I replaced the whole rocker so it 
was easy to coat but on the passenger side, it's a bit better so I'm patching 
the rocker rather than replacing it entirely.  Fortunately(?), the holes are 
big enough that I can get in there and clean it up and then slop the paint 
around.  By the time I am done, I will have coated the whole bottom of the car 
and all the parts where rust of any type is visible.  I'm doing it primarily 
with a paint brush.  (I won't use a paint brush for the outside!)



I don't weld around the whole panel that I am replacing for a couple reasons.  
First, continuous welding causes warping.  Second, it is plenty strong enough 
by tacking every few inches.  Third, a lot of the stuff that I am welding to 
isn't always real strong.  I typically cut out anything that is weak but the 
old metal isn't as easy to weld to as the new stuff - quite easy to blow holes 
if you aren't careful.  Fourth, the original rocker panels are not continuous 
welded - they are tack welded every few inches.



So, I tack it so that it is strong.  Then I grind it down a bit, then put on 
some seam sealer to close the all the holes that are left.  Next, I'll apply 
some bondo in places that I want to look pretty and will be painting the car 
color.  Inside the wheel wells, underneath and the inside, I'll put on some 
high build rockerguard type coating.  That will nicely hide my bad welding!

It looks like a good project! I saw some surface rust behind the panels you cut 
out - did you use anything like POR in there before closing it up? Did you run 
complete beads around the replacement panels, or leave them tacked in place, 
and sealed them with body filler?

sure you get paid for them).

Apparently they are refurbished or recycled. If refurbished they are  
then sold into third world countries
where cell phones are likely the only way to get phone service. See  
other diesel lists notes about STEALING copper wire, aka telephone

Re: [MBZ] Photography

2007-12-30 Thread Curt Raymond

I've got a now very battered Fuji 2650 2MP. Its been across the country with 
me, umm 5 times now. Down to Florida umm, 5 or 6 times I forget.
Gone to camp times without count. I've taken pictures from planes, boats, 
motorcycles, and snowmobiles. One time I was taking a picture of another 
snowmobiler at ~50mph and I dropped it. When I went back to get it I drove over 
it by accident in the dark.
The screen cracked when I dropped it from the 2nd floor balcony of a hotel room.
It still works pretty well although the flash takes a long time to charge and 
its hard on batteries. I'd asked my folks for a replacement 5MP for Christmas 
but haven't seen them yet.

Re: [MBZ] Photography, was - The death of high fidelity

2007-12-30 Thread archer
What's the number on your low-end Fuji camera?  I don't like my Nikon 4600 
for snap shooting.  A friend, who was an Army photographer, has a Leica 
Deluxe 3 which he loves.  It does take great pictures but it's somewhat 
expensive.  My favorite film camera is an old Fuji SLR with nothing 
electronic but the light meter.

Re: [MBZ] 1987 300D temp sending unit

2007-12-30 Thread Steve Bailey
I checked out the thermistor yesterday and found it to be good. The wire
going from the sensor to the gauge was no good, as well as the sensor
itself. I ran a new wire, as opposed to trying to find the break, and went
to pull-a-part today where I bought 3 sensors. (as well as a BUNCH of other
stuff)I will test them tonight, when my wife is not looking (need the pan on
the stove with boiling water) and then install if good. The 3 I bought are
all different so I need to compare to the one in the car. One is 100 to 107,
one is 105 to 115 and one is 100 to 110. Results to follow.

Too bad you had so much trouble isolating this problem.  The OEM foam pipe
deteriorates fairly quickly.  Mine was less than 4 years old and it crumbled
into sticky chunks when I bumped it while changing the ACC amp.  It's a
tight fit, but most folks recommend replacing the OEM foam tube with a piece
of foam pipe insulation from Lowes, Home Depot, etc.  It's cheap and pretty
durable.

Scott I want to thank you again for your help. I went to the pick n pull and
got a air jet nozzle. Which is not easy to get out! while there I picked up
the sensor tube hose out of a 1982 300D the sensor in the middle of the

wrong with it. 

Put it all back together and used the hose from the '82, cut it down some
and so far it works fine!

So using the foam pipe insulation just leaks too much air, Probably through
it.

Back in the day when firewire video capture had just come out we used to get 
alot of people who would use firewire for deck control and audio and pick up 
the video through s-video.
They said it "looked warmer". Firewire is great because its a digital clone of

softening of the digital artifacts...

Peter,

I'm an old vacuum tube guy and I still restore vacuum tube radios and
amps today.

Some corrections & additions:

Vacuum tubes will & do clip. A vacuum tube is a voltage controlled
device while a transistor is a current controlled device and either can
be driven to clip. Clipping is nothing more than the device being
 turned
all the way on or off before the input signal reaches full potential.
Transisitor clipping is sharper than vacuum tube clipping.

Vacuum tube amps distort more than transistor amps and the vacuum tube
distortion is interpreted as a "warmer  sound". Transistor amp
manufacturers have not been able to duplicate this distortion because
it's mechanical - it's in the physical tube design itself. I can still
hear the difference in the old radios & amps I work on today. You
believe the sound from a vacuum tube amp is "higher quality" because it
actually sounds better. Put a scope on the output of a tube amp & a
transistor amp and compare the difference and it's obvious that the
transistor amp output is cleaner.

Re: [MBZ] Photography, was - The death of high fidelity

2007-12-30 Thread archer
The best quality snapshot pictures I ever took were with a little Rodenstock 
2" x 2" bellows camera my brother-in-law brought back from Germany after 
WW-2.  The detail was fantastic.
A photographer I worked for had a Speed Graphic with a (?)Berlin lens that 
he gaurded with his life.  It was an exceptional lens.

Re: [MBZ] OT, computer supplies

2007-12-30 Thread Curt Raymond

I'm not sure I understand the question, are you saying going from a laptop 2.5" 
ATA (ie. PATA or IDE) to a desktop SATA?
Not always an apples to apples conversion. Many (most?) laptop drives are 
5400rpm (some older drives are even 4300) while many (again most?) desktop 
drives are 7200rpm. Random reads on a 7200rpm drives will be much faster.

I'd venture to say that in most cases you'll see a larger speed bump going from 
a 5400rpm drive to a 7200 because its the seek speed that is lacking not 
transfer rate.

But have you compared with a laptop that has a 2.5" ATA drive? Going
 from
my desktop to my laptop, I notice a very large drop in disk access
 speed.

Re: [MBZ] Brain picking: Moving switches off lower part of 123 console

2007-12-30 Thread Robert Bigham

Thanks for sharing your experience, Jim.  It gives me 
confidence.  The new switch is ordered, and it can go 
on the shelf with some other stuff I have ratholed against 
possible future need.  

Someone asked me if I intended to keep/drive the Benz 
until my son takes it away from me, and I said yes.  
That's how I'm thinking.  I have a head gasket set, 
a starter, and alternator, a radiator, and many small parts
ratholed.  Fourway switch will fit right in.   

I actually have a pretty intense electrical day planned 
for January 1 - when I intend to buff all the contacts 
in the fuse box and buff and install new fuses.  According 
to some of what I've read, that ought to fix some 
electrical problems, maybe inclucing some I don't even 
know I have.

Bought a new Dremel in a box with a flex shaft and two 
cup brushes for this project.  As an indication of how 
important I think it is, my usual stle wouild be to try to 
buy one really cheap at a pawnshop.  I just marched 
into the tool place and bought this one.

BTDT (?) Goes past me.  Please interpret.   

Thanks again for your experience.Robert

Wow!  You have your work cut out for you; especially at the bottom of the 
left rear door.  Before and after pictures will be interesting.

I had the same year/model car and did work on the fender.  The metal was 
supposed to be "shrunk" after repair by using a special tool that made 
corrugations which were then filled in.  Don't know how successful the 
shrinking was, but the fender held up fine to the end.

It looks like a good project! I saw some surface rust behind the

closing it up? Did you run complete beads around the replacement

78s were acoustical until around 1925 IIRC, and then switched over to
electrical.  The electrical 78 rpm recordings have excellent sound quality,
if you don't mind a little surface noise.  (the surface noise on 78s from
the late 30s is nearly inaudible);)  I have tons of wonderful old
performances that predate the advance to 33 rpm and hi fi, and they are
priceless in terms of the artistry and technical wizardry of the likes of
Rachmaninoff, Artur Schnabel, and Josef Hofmann.  Among the great pianists
of the era, the career of Vladimir Horowitz spanned all the audio
tecnhologies and fortunately he still played like a demon into his 60s and
the advent of stereophonic sound.

[MBZ] 1967 200D labor of love

2007-12-30 Thread Bob Hamilton
I bought this car 3 years ago from the daughter of the original owner, Rolf 
Seidel.  He had bought it new in Red Deer on February 8, 1968 for $5,665.  (I 
have the Bill of Sale.)  It was located on a ranch west of Red Deer, Alberta 
and had spent it's whole "life" there.   Rolf passed away a number of years ago 
and his daughter, who had being storing it and driving it occasionally decided 
it was time to find a new home for it.

We knew each other through a work connection.  We were at a Christmas function 
and  another fellow and I were talking about our old vehicles - his a 56 Chevy 
and mine a 51 Willys pickup  (http://picasaweb.google.com/hamibob/WillysTruck)  
She mentioned that she had an old car she was wanting to sell - our ears perked 
up.  I subsequently went and looked at it, decided to buy it and then drove it 
home to Spruce Grove, west of Edmonton - about 2 hours.  They had recently had 
the motor rebuilt so it drives nicely - no power, not much speed but smooth.  
At least that's what I remember as I haven't driven it for 3 years!

Once I got it in the workshop, I discovered that the rust was quite a bit worse 
than what I originally thought (isn't it always!).  I worked on it a bunch when 
I first got it and then have not been too motivated to do much until the last 
couple weeks.  Now, I'm moving nicely in getting the rusty metal cut out, 
fabricating new pieces, welding them in and getting it ready to paint.  I 
thought I'd share with you where I am at.  I had noticed some discussion about 
welding lately - I'm guessing none of you are welding like what  I am doing!

The pictures of my progression to date are at:   
http://picasaweb.google.com/hamibob/1967MercedesBenz200D

Wish me luck!!.  Bob

about it, my first serious camera was a 2X3 Crown Graphic.
The Linhof was probably a Technica - my daughter still uses her 4X5

[MBZ] Photography, was - The death of high fidelity

2007-12-30 Thread OK Don
I'm impressed with the Leitz lens on my Panasonic FZ30 - as a snap
shot camera. I only wish the wide angle end was wider. It's a good
camera for a play toy, and will have to do until something serious
comes out that both impresses me, and I can afford.
I need to find a digital body to use on my slide copier - with the
Zeiss 74 S-Planar, optimized for 1:1. I hate scanning negs/slides.

The largest print we made was 4X8 feet - we turned one of the
enlargers horizontally, projected the 35mm neg onto the RC paper
tacked to the cork board wall opposite, and exposed for 30 minutes.
Development was hand see-sawing it through trays made from wall paper
trays hot glued together to make them long enough. We only made a half
dozen or so prints that way - too manual. They were exhibited at the
State Fair that year.
Sounds like you got to work with a real darkroom artist. They are a
rare breed now!
We brewed up developers for Tech Pan 35mm film (back when it had a

Take it apart and clean it with a Dremel wire brush.
Re-grease it and reassemble, and it will be good as
new.  BTDT.

The TLR is particularly useful for IR film and and 87 (black)
filter.  The C330 was a much more affordable way to try out
6x6 than anything SLR-ish would have been.  I used it at a
couple of family weddings, and took some portraits of my
parents.

Good old cheerful Morrissey! (I wear black on the outside cause black is how
I feel on the inside) If a ten ton truck, crashes into us, to die by your
sidelol

Have you ever seen his films?

I almost bought a Mamiya C330 in London the other week in Portobello road
market. It was a good price 145 quid. I used to have a C220 with a couple of
lenses but traded it in for my second Hasselblad. Then bought a Pentax 6X7.
Had three lenses and six backs for the Blad. Tried the 500 ELM for a bit but
didn't like it.

Really enjoyed my 4x5 and the Deardorff 8x10 I played with for a while too.
Had an even BIGGER camera. It was an Ansco (?) stat camera and shot 20X24(?)
negatives!! YES, that is in inches! MASSIVE! It was 54 inches long at full
bellows extension.

My darkroom had a Beseler 23CII XL with a cold light head, incandescent head
and two lenses. Six element Rodenstock and six element Schneider or Nikkor.
Good old daystouring the middle east with my blad...shooting 100 rolls
of 120 and then spending weeks in isolation...hehehe

I agree that the ultimate has to be an 8x10 contact on good double weight
fibre-based paper. SWEET! Is that fixer I smell?

I've got a 225 or two if you want to trade another Mamiya for it. 
Also have the 40mb, I think it's a ST251.
I believe my Dad still has a Winchester disk pack laying around,
the platters are almost as big as LPs.

everything is still around, just not new.  graflex as a company is long
gone.

i have a book of pictures shot in the mid to late 80s that was shot with a
speed graphic.  that's the latest i've seen it used professionally.

On the front side of the inner fender on the drivers side. Kinda
straight back from the headlight.

It is about 2 inches (50 mm) wide by 6 inches (150 mm) long. The
top is a cover. Lift it off and the fuse is at the top, or rear,
end.
