Re: [MBZ] Selectric
The Selectric is still considered to be the best typewriter ever built In one sense, and I like them a lot. I used to take 'em apart in typing class when nobody was looking. Got a couple around here myself. But they're pretty high-strung. Best in a Ferrari sense, rather than a 240D sense, I'd say. Everybody used to think they were electronic, and they're not. There's a motor. If you wanted to bad enough you could run 'em with a treadle and a belt. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Car For Donald Snook
Right.. 185mph is better than 1.85mpg. Lol A good friend of mine is a Caddy nut, he had some that had names as long as the car. Fleetwood Brougham De'Elegance or something close to that. Another long time family friend has the DTS I think, it is ridiculous fast. He ordered it special(he has that kind of money) and was a bit upset that GM Special Performance Division couldn't build his with the 6 speed manual. Must be nice to be loadedhe has a garage full of 30's Victorias, all perfect, most hot rodded. The floor is shiny, smooth tile to make wiping up the drool easier. Amongst the Vic's are a couple sweet woody wagons and an engine he offers up for sale, used, for 15 grand. It made one run in a Vicky, he punched it, it stood straight up in the air in a wheelie and he decided that was a bit hot for the street. Gotta go see him sometime soon and drool over the toys.

Re: [MBZ] Selectric - Actionwriter
I have a Selectric here too but it no longer works. I let it sit for a couple of years and now it needs to be cleaned and lubed. Not sure it is worth it. However, I also have one of the IBM Actionwriters with the daisy wheel instead of the ball. It works fine. Does not feel as solid as the Selectric did but certainly does what I need a typewriter to do. Did not pay a whole lot for it. $50 if I recall. I think I paid a whole lot more for the Selectric - $300 maybe but that was also almost 30 years ago.

Re: [MBZ] Electric oil pumps [was: Re: 928]
I found it interesting that electric oil pumps are promoted for improved reliability. I don't remember having a mechanical oil pump EVER fail in any of my cars. But almost every function powered by an electric motor has failed at one time or another.

There was the Chevelle, a Roger Penske race prepped 68 AMX, a 67 Fuelie Corvette and a few others that doninated the streets around here back then. Shine, the owner of the AMX was well known for betting he could hop the front drivers wheel over a 16 oz. Coke bottle and winning.

[MBZ] New G-Wagen
Took a trip with my daughter in her GL320cdi and by the time we got to our destination the car was riding very rough over bumps and bouncing up and down like it had no shocks. Daughter said she could smell something running hot. The dealer said he could see the front end setting low, about a foot off the pavement, so he gave us a loaner and kept the car. About the same time on the trip, the air conditioner started working intermitently. All I could think of was that a serpentine belt drives both the hydraulic suspension pump and the A/C pump and a bearing was hanging or the belt was going bad. It has about 150K miles. While waiting for the loaner car, looked at a new G wagen. Big ugly, boxy thing that looked like a cross between a Jeep Wagoneer and a Hummer. Coming home the loaner car was a C300 that didn't ride as good as my '83 300D.

Re: [MBZ] Selectric
I liked line printers spewing out stacks and stacks of wide paper with all sorts of indecipherable stuff, esp when you got a core dump when your program bombed. A woman at NASA actually taught me how to read core dumps and figure out what bit of code did the nasty, so I could go back and fix it quickly. I used this newfound skill with various other students when I got back to school, and was a god to them when I did it. It was nothing short of magic. I could read it and sort out the problem in about 30sec after they had taken hours to try to debug their code. Unfortunately it never helped me get, um, female companionship, just respect with the dudes. --R On 5/30/12 9:54 PM, Craig wrote: On Wed, 30 May 2012 21:38:12 -0400 Allan Streibstr...@cs.indiana.edu wrote: Peter Frederickpsf...@earthlink.net writes: But we are talking mid 70's.

Re: [MBZ] Fleabay buyers
But if you look, many of the sellers are from china and not even local or providing for the good of our great nation. At least the non US fleabay sites have local folks selling locally sourced goods. Not USA fleabay. Inundated with cheap chinese imitation products that ship in six weeks and last five weeks once you get them. Except for the cheap chinese ipad stuff i got three years ago. That has held up quite well.

Re: [MBZ] Jeep oil filter adapter o-rings fixed! (was TORX allens)
I changed out the o-rings on the oil filter adapter of my Jeep tonight. The dealer keeps these in stock, so they are probably a common repair item. Over the years Jeep has used a hex head bolt, a 9/16 allen bolt, and a T-60 bolt. Mine had the T-60 head so I bought a Duralast socket at AutoZone for $4.99. There is limited space between the bolt and the frame rail, so using a standard ratchet or breaker bar is not possible. A 12mm box end wrench fits well over the T-60 bit. However, there was too much deflection in the wrenches and that T-60 bolt wasn't budging. I ended up putting removing the bolt from underneath the engine with a piece of flat steel about 24x1 that had a 3/8 square drive on the end. There was just enough room. I was surprised to find out that only 2 out of the 3 o-rings installed on the adapter/bolt. The one missing was a big o-ring on the center bolt that I would like to believe it was never installed at the factory rather than think its somewhere inside the engine! The smaller o-ring appeared fine, and the o-ring that goes between the block and the mount itself was flattened and hard. I put it all back together with a new filter.

Re: [MBZ] Electric oil pumps etc.
...An electric oil pump?! Amazing. I guess they are pretty convinced of its reliability... The days of direct drive AC compressors, oil pumps, water pumps and open/closed thermostats are disappearing. I don't know what BMW and Audi are doing but Porsche and MB are adopting this technology because it reduces power requirements and thus improves fuel economy. Engines simply don't need full oil pressure all the time but just maintain enough for cooling bearings and maintaining the oil cushion and it varies a lot. Engine driven cooling fans are no more because a variable speed electric fan does it better and thermostats are variable to better maintain engine temps along with the fan speeds because of emission requirements. AC compressors don't have clutches any more because swash plate designs allow refrigerant pumping as needed instead of the all or nothing designs of the past. My M272 powered C300 uses a swash plate compressor so the sag in power is never felt because the plate angles vary depending on cooling needs. Same for the engine thermostat. And, the big electric fan behind the radiator is never heard if the windows are closed and then only on high speed. So far at 4 1/2 years none of these components has so much as hiccuped.
