Why on earth cook over electric, when it's so expensive?
You have to factor battery consumption costs into the mix.

the Milestar, I may try them on a different car maybe.

Re: [MBZ] fuel senders

Thanks!

I have a bunch of parts to sell and this will help!  For the sender, 
I looked up 124, 126 and 210, and each is different.   The picker 
yard had a 126 sender, but I didn't have the 1 5/8" socket  (I don't 
know where it is now) and I could not get it to turn with 15" 
channellocks and a screwdriver.  Pretty much everything on that car 
was overtightened, and glued in with some king of gray sealer.  I did 
snag a couple more door checks to work on.

n this case the EPC is a little overkill with having to have a VIN 
and going back and forth. If you want to do a "where used" in the 
EPC, use the one that MB of Atlanta has online:

http://www.mbpartsworld.com

If you have a part selected and are on the "Product Information" 
page, down at the bottom is a header that says "Product 
Fitment/Applications".  Click on the "Show More" tab on the far 
right of that header.

The list drops down and you can see what other models the part was used on.

This is a great tool that I've used in other manufacturing 
environments.  Just go to the application you know, find the part, 
and do a "Where used" to see where else it might have been used.

That paltry price is just the current bid. The minimum bid has not yet 
been reached.

Has big hole in the roof (window) to allow future water entry. Which 
probably leaves Wilt out of the bidding.

All the furniture is handmade. Has shower, full size refrigerator 3 burner 
stove, freshwater and sewage tank. Has electric stair extender and 
hydraulic leveling supports, trailer hitch and lots of indirect lighting 
with LEDs. No expense was spared in building this coach. Similarly 
equipped vehicles sell in the high six figure price range.
If you bid and change your mind you have to pay 10% of the bid as damages 
and in any case you have to pay and pick it up in 5 days from end of 
auction.

That's the general description. Not much on the mechanical condition. Not 
that I care since I haven't gotten my retirement check this month yet. Or 
the ones for the next 100 or more years.

Re: [MBZ] NEW BUS

2016-02-15 Thread MG via Mercedes

That paltry price is just the current bid. The minimum bid has 
not yet been reached.


Has big hole in the roof (window) to allow future water entry. 
Which probably leaves Wilt out of the bidding.


All the furniture is handmade. Has shower, full size refrigerator 
3 burner stove, freshwater and sewage tank. Has electric stair 
extender and hydraulic leveling supports, trailer hitch and lots 
of indirect lighting with LEDs. No expense was spared in building 
this coach. Similarly equipped vehicles sell in the high six 
figure price range.
If you bid and change your mind you have to pay 10% of the bid as 
damages and in any case you have to pay and pick it up in 5 days 
from end of auction.


That's the general description. Not much on the mechanical 
condition. Not that I care since I haven't gotten my retirement 
check this month yet. Or the ones for the next 100 or more years.

Just went to the money market rate for Euro/USD exchange rate..

1 Euro = 1.13 USD

So.. for the paltry "buy it now" price of $50.850.00 USD, it could be
yours..

Plus, transfer and shipping fees.. and a couple months delay to get it on a
ship and delivered... Just in time for the summer vacation season...

Re: [MBZ] OT bluetooth with old stereo rcvr

2016-02-15 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes

Not sure if it helps, but I got one of the little rechargeable BT dongles for 
the aux input on the W220. It worked fine, but would only last 3-4 days in 
operation before needing a charge.

Not sure that it helps you, as it looks like you're going with a powered one.

Crude but effective.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Solar powered Pod (Ecocapsule)

2016-02-15 Thread Curt Raymond via Mercedes

https://www.ecocapsule.sk/#product-info
600w of solar and 750w of wind. It doesn't have very much power for the 
electric cooker... A 2 burner electric hot plate looks to want 1800w, so to run 
it for an hour you'd need 3 hours of peak efficiency sun. That wind generator 
on its short pole isn't going to make peak power very often. I'd predict the 
need for a little Honda generator running a couple hours every day to keep this 
thing habitable.
Dad has decided to upgrade our 100w solar system to 200w this year, I'm 
thinking I'll kick in and take us to 300w, I hate having power anxiety. On the 
other side of the equation he had been ordering 35ah 12v batteries but found a 
place local to him that sells a 110ah battery for only twice the price. So 
we're going to go from 70ah of storage to 180ah, that should keep us from 
having to run the generator most weeks even if we don't get more solar.

[MBZ] OT bluetooth with old stereo rcvr

2016-02-15 Thread Rich Thomas via Mercedes

I am trying to figure out how to best hook up a bluetooth receiver to an 
old stereo receiver to use to drive some speakers on my back deck.  I 
have a nice new 5.1 receiver that does BT well, I stream radio stations 
through an old ifone to it, but it does not have a second set of speaker 
outputs so I'm going to pull out one of the old ones and modernize it, 
figured I could get a BT adapter.  Or maybe just connect it to the 
monitor on the new one and repeat whatever that thing is playing, 
basically just use it as a second amp?


I see a bunch that look like they plug into a mini-jack input, primarily 
maybe for car stereos.  They are battery powered or need external power, 
so I guess I could get a mini-plug to BNC adapter cable for the sound 
and plug in the power adapter to yet another power point and that would 
work to power it up.  They are pretty cheap, less than $20 -30.  This 
one looks pretty good, maybe more for home use, I might give it a go.
