Re: [MBZ] vintage precision scale
The model I have is the one that was recommended by America's Test Kitchen (Cooks' Illustrated), but I believe they had just shifted production to China. The build quality seems very good and it has lasted for years with frequent use. Some Chinese made products have excellent quality control, such as the ThinkPad I'm typing on now. Others...not so much.

[MBZ] Off Topic - Reliable electric dimmer switch
Does anyone have a source for a a good, long lasting,and reliable dimmer switch for my kitchen and bathroom lights. The kitchen needs to run 7 can light lights and the bathroom has twelve 40 watt globe lights. I have replaced both of them twice over the past couple of years because they begin buzzing, become erratic and and eventually not working at all. In addition, can anyone make a recommendation on the type of light to use in my kithscn that is long lasting, economical and delivers a nice quality light that is not to harsh? Does anyone know of a website that could help? I currently have a variety of incandescent, florescent and LED's. Thanks, Mike Michael E.

The ListenersBY WALTER DE LA MARE‘Is there anybody there?’ said the Traveller, Knocking on the moonlit door;And his horse in the silence champed the grasses Of the forest’s ferny floor:And a bird flew up out of the turret, Above the Traveller’s head:And he smote upon the door again a second time; ‘Is there anybody there?’ he said.But no one descended to the Traveller; No head from the leaf-fringed sillLeaned over and looked into his grey eyes, Where he stood perplexed and still.But only a host of phantom listeners That dwelt in the lone house thenStood listening in the quiet of the moonlight To that voice from the world of men:Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair, That goes down to the empty hall,Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken By the lonely Traveller’s call.And he felt in his heart their strangeness, Their stillness answering his cry,While his horse moved, cropping the dark turf, ’Neath the starred and leafy sky;For he suddenly smote on the door, even Louder, and lifted his head:—‘Tell them I came, and no one answered, That I kept my word,’ he said.Never the least stir made the listeners, Though every word he spakeFell echoing through the shadowiness of the still house From the one man left awake:Ay, they heard his foot upon the stirrup, And the sound of iron on stone,And how the silence surged softly backward, When the plunging hoofs were gone.

Re: [MBZ] ?
Nope. Busy week. Spent Tuesday and first half of Wednesday traveling to get a new (to me) 1998 S420 home. Spent this morning doing the Martha treatment and getting a parts list together. Just finished up working on the eldest's 300E 2.6 and the top timing cover leak. Looks like the gasket is good - found a loose bolt on the cover. Got it torqued down and everything back in place. Will monitor it for any future leaking, but don't expect it. Getting cooled down and going to jump in the shower, get an hour of piano practice in before I go to my lesson at 4:30, then back to the ranch for the evening duties. Tomorrow is get everything ready for the father in law's memorial service and wake on Saturday. Saturday will be taken up with memorial and wake (ugh, I hate these sorts of things!) Sunday morning will be spent pulling the passenger side valve cover on the SL500 to determine what the nasty ticking noise is that just started this morning. I'm sure it's mad because there's a new MB in the driveway, despite my assurances that it's not being replaced. The oiler tubes have been replaced with the cast aluminum ones, so other than the little ball bearing in the machining hole of the oiler tube having come out, I can't imagine why there's lifter ticking.

No need for that. The memorial service is at the funeral home, replete with minister and all the trappings. That will last maybe all of 30 minutes. Immediately following will be the wake at the Moose Lodge. I fully expect local law enforcement to be on hand before the evening is over.

[MBZ] 124 AC repair
Finally have my '95 E300 Diesel AC working reliably. My first problem (belt slipping) was finally corrected when I broke out the FSM section 83 (HVAC repair) and noticed in one of the pictures how the serpentine belt is supposed to be routed...ooops... I had figured out possibly the only way to install the belt wrong, glad I finally figured that out! During a long highway drive a couple weeks ago, the AC compressor was still cutting in/out. I noticed that sometimes the compressor would engage when I went over a bump. Surmising that I might have a loose connection somewhere, I tested the theory by hitting the rumble strip when the compressor was refusing to engage, and sho' enough it usually would engage. At a convenient stop I popped the hood and pulled off the cover behind the battery, which protects the KLIMA relay. Moving the relay slightly would cause the compressor clutch to engage, so I jammed an empty crushed water-bottle between relay and battery, and that has restored normal AC function ever since. I do need to find time to pull that relay and find the loose connection. -Max ___ http://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 All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.

[MBZ] White Whale update
I've begun installing a #17 head on my '87 wagon. Attached the exhaust manifold (new copper nuts), placed the head onto the block (new MB head gasket, made by Elring) and bolted it down. I did re-use the head bolts, after measuring each one to make sure they were within the FSM specified tolerance. The head bolt tightening sequence calls for bolts to be tightened in specified pattern in four steps: 25 Nm, 40 Nm, [ten minute rest], 90 degree turn, 90 degree turn. I attached a pointer to the special tool bit for the head bolts, and used any of the numerous straight lines on the top of the head to measure 90 degree turns. The pointer was simply a short piece of stiff small gauge wire, about two inches long, held to the tool shaft with a small hose clamp. When I inserted the tool into each bolt, I would bend the pointer slightly to calibrate it to whichever reference line was handy. This worked really well for me. The last thing I've accomplished is bleeding all the hydraulic lifters to make sure none are too thick and will hold valves open. I wonder how much noise all these flat lifters will make during the initial engine start. I'll bet that all the engine cranking required to get the fuel system bled will also pump up the lifters, at least partially, so maybe it won't be too noticeable. -Max ___ http://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 All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.

Re: [MBZ] White Whale update
Injectors: This head has pre-chambers which require the later style inclined injectors (NA35X). I exchanged a set of used NA36X injectors, which I no longer need as they fit the original head, with Tim Crone. Tim took them from Wilton's dead 126 engine. I sent the new injectors to a gentlemen in Columbia SC, Mark Blevins, who advertises injector rebuild/balance service on Peach Parts. He found that 2 of the six have cracked bodies, and cannot be re-used, so now I'm looking for a few more used injectors, if anyone has some they are willing to part with.

Re: [MBZ] ?
Absolutely. That's where everyone went after our wedding reception, which was at the church. We skipped it, as we didn't feel like spending our wedding night in the local jail. I'm not criticizing, by any means. Their idea of a fun time and mine just don't exactly mesh. The worst part will be when the oldest stepsister gets drunk and starts getting ugly. That's when I usually have to mediate. In this situation she's convinced there's money and she'll want to know where her share is. What she simply can't understand is that the in laws were on a fixed income and had no stash of cash laying around. Not to mention if she smells money she'll have absolutely no grasp of the term joint tenancy, meaning she thinks there should be money for her and my mother in law be damned. After that she'll want her son and his good for nothing wife (they are both professional grifters/social services vampires, sucking away our hard earned tax dollars while they do little or nothing) to take all the leftover food that we paid for. I'll have to intervene there, too. So my role at these things is maintaining order and keeping the vultures at bay. I don't mind, as it makes it entertaining at least. Amazing how ugly people can get when there's money involved. More on the car tonight, Wilton. Gotta go to my piano lesson.

The relay. I believe these can be opened and the solder joints on the PC board inside reflowed.

'Hope it doesn't too exasperating with the in-laws. Wilton - Original Message - From: Dan Penoff via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: Rich Thomas richthomas79td...@constructivity.net; Mercedes List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2014 4:00 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] ? Absolutely. That's where everyone went after our wedding reception, which was at the church. We skipped it, as we didn't feel like spending our wedding night in the local jail. I'm not criticizing, by any means. Their idea of a fun time and mine just don't exactly mesh. The worst part will be when the oldest stepsister gets drunk and starts getting ugly. That's when I usually have to mediate. In this situation she's convinced there's money and she'll want to know where her share is. What she simply can't understand is that the in laws were on a fixed income and had no stash of cash laying around. Not to mention if she smells money she'll have absolutely no grasp of the term joint tenancy, meaning she thinks there should be money for her and my mother in law be damned. After that she'll want her son and his good for nothing wife (they are both professional grifters/social services vampires, sucking away our hard earned tax dollars while they do little or nothing) to take all the leftover food that we paid for. I'll have to intervene there, too. So my role at these things is maintaining order and keeping the vultures at bay. I don't mind, as it makes it entertaining at least. Amazing how ugly people can get when there's money involved. More on the car tonight, Wilton. Gotta go to my piano lesson.

[MBZ] Testing Prius
Rented a Prius for 24 hours yesterday since I'd never driven one. Handling was very good, engine very quiet, 49 mpg for mixed road and city driving. Instrumentation and controls were straightforward and visibility was remarkable; rear view mirrors were surprisingly effective. Combined with its excellent repair record during the first 8 or 10 years, it would be a good investment. That said, I wouldn't buy one for one principal reason: It rides rough and there seems to be little cushioning by the seat; you feel every bump. My old Beetles rode better. A Mercedes seat would help but that might be difficult or impossible to install. My reasons for buying a new or late model car are exceptional fuel economy and reliability on long trips; something the Prius would satisfy; but being pounded on rough roads for hours at a time would be unpleasant and tiring.
