I think you will find when you get it apart its going to need more than grease to keep it from getting stuck. George Murphy's article on fixing them looks pretty plausible to me.

What's the chance of finding a good used one on Ebay or elsewhere? Are they interchangeable with 123's? They've gone up to obscenely expensive, if they're even still available. Good used are few and far between. That's why the re-engineered digital system is now available.

Re: [MBZ] OT downloading off YouTube??
If you have a Mac, you can get a freeware (or shareware, I'm not sure cause I haven't used it in some time) application called Tube TV that will grab FLV and other video files from web pages and save them to your machine. Might even do it in QT, but it's been too long for me to recall.

Re: [MBZ] OT downloading off YouTube??
VideoLan VLC will play FLVs, but if you want to convert them to something, try Super (search for super video converter erightsoft, the web site is weird but the program is very good, and free). Sometimes it has trouble putting flvs in other formats (might be a problem with the flv file, not sure), but in general the pgm does what it is advertised to do. The program is processor-intensive, best to set up a bunch of files then let it run overnight or when you are not otherwise using the computer. Super is also good to take vids and make them so they fit on your media player. There are a variety of Firefox add-ins that will grab videos and save them in a file, I have a couple but there are probably others. --R Mitch Haley wrote: E M wrote: Hi Guys, I've managed to download a number of FLV files from YouTube, but I still can't figure out how ot convert them into different formats.

Re: [MBZ] Serious injuries only please/Swedish traffic
And even seeing the edge does not help often. We were there some years ago, driving from one end of the island out to the other, over a ridge with a sharp drop of maybe 300ft on the inbound side, and there was a little circus there trying to recover 2 (!!) cars that were down in the brush about 150ft. down the hillside. We stopped to see if anyone was hurt, and the guys were sort of amazed anyone cared -- apparently it was a fairly common occurrence at that point in the road, and they just dealt with it. One said both drivers been drunk the night before and just drove over the edge and rolled a few times down the hillside, without significant damage to the drivers. The cars were a bit crunched but not too bad. No problem mon. We did have various goats, donkeys, chickens and other wildlife to dodge as we drove around, you go around a sharp curve and a whole flock (or whatever they are called) of goats would be in the road, just standing there for no apparent reason, and they did not give way too easily. You gotta love tropical countries. --R ernest breakfield wrote: yep; even though there's not a speed limit on the islands over 30 or so and there isn't much opportunity for any passing, there seem to be an inordinately high percentage of cars with bashed up right sides... stories of how this driving style came to be there vary; the cute one they tell visitors is that this makes it possible to hold hands with a friend who is walking down the road while they drive. the more practical reason might be that many roads in the islands are so twisty and the storms that pass through there so incredibly torrential that the only way they can drive at times is to be able to see the edge of the road/cliff out the window of the side the driver is sitting on. cheers! e Wilton Strickland wrote: Scary!!
