Oddly enough, I pick one up still in the package at Goodwill last week.  
Thought I needed one to have on hand, in case.  When I got home, there was a 
screw in type in the drawer.  Oh, yeah, I got a compression testing thing last 
year!

Re: [MBZ] Becker Mexican stand off

[clay via Mercedes]

That is really cool.  I do not understand a single page.

Based on what I did see, I tried to power the thing up.  It did not accept 
electrons

My neighbor is a jazz drummer and he collects cymbals.  In an OCD/compulsive 
manner, and is always trading for more.  He says he has bad thoughts when he 
sees a cymbal.  

I pulled a head unit out of a w201 this weekend.  It was a Kenwood.  It has 
spaghetti wires out the back end.  And the idiot who removed it from the 
console was overly active with his knife.  Just hacked things apart.  But they 
left the MB power hook up intact.

When the Mexico was not working, I figured I would see if the Kenwood worked.  

And now.. .bad thoughts.

https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_22737_Kenwood-KVT-516.html

It powers up and the screen came out and on.

Do I just say “screw it” and put this thing in?

I called Tracfone, who is my service provider, and talked with them at
length, complaining about the cell tower. After going through a lot of
stuff, including them contacting the cell tower company, they said I
should transfer my service to another phone.

I started that process, but then got to the point where their system had
an error and I was to wait 24 - 48 hours and call back. I never did and
have been able to use my original phone (which I got from Mitch).

I figured it out….

There is a plastic tab that sticks out from a sort of “barrel” on the
actuator that goes into the grommet or whatever you want to call the part
that projects through the fuel door all and provides the locking bit.  If
you push down on the tab and pull back the actuator comes loose from the
grommet thingy.

Anyway, having done this I found that for whatever reason the metal pin
that does the locking of the fuel door from the actuator wouldn’t move,
like it was frozen in the actuator body.  The actuator is sort of a weird
setup unlike the typical vacuum actuator, since this pin is attached to 
the

diaphragm and is moved by it moving back and forth to provide locking and
unlocking.  Since the pin is on both sides of the diaphragm, it has to be
sealed to the actuator body or vacuum/pressure would leak out (remember
that W126 central locking uses pressure AND vacuum.)

The seal that the pin goes through was stuck fast to the pin.  It took
some goomph but I got it loose without damage and once having done so I 
put

some dish soap on the pin and moved it in and out of the bore so the seal
would get lubed up.  After I was satisfied that it was moving freely I
reassembled the actuator halves and hooked it up.  Voilá!  Working fuel
door lock now.

The only thing I can figure is that the car sat for extended periods of
time, and the seal in the actuator housing just got old or sticky from 
lack

of use and the climate.  Now that I’ve freed it up hopefully it will
continue to work.

I love those cheap/free repairs…

I am forgetting the term now, maybe PRL?  The phone has a list of cell
phone towers that should be updated periodically.  You could try doing that
to make sure your phone knows which towers it should be using.  Your

[MBZ] OT: Cell phone flakiness

[Craig via Mercedes]

I have been having a problem with our Nokia 2126 cell phone for several
weeks now not being able to complete a call.

Yesterday and today, it has worked fine, but last week it would not work
either here at home or in Moriarty closer to the cell tower.

Last week, I drove to Edgewood, where it has always worked in the past,
and it did not work before I went into the grocery store. I did some
grocery shopping and then came outside and tried again. That time it did
work. I drove the 15 miles home and it worked there, too.

Is this symptomatic of a dying cell phone?

Re: [MBZ] Resurrecting a vergasser WUZ: Choices

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

According to the Beru catalog, the sparkplugs for the M104 have threads M14
x 1.25.  This Eastwood compression tester doesn't give info beyond M14, so
I took a risk and ordered it.

I worked with nuclear materials, including various isotopes of uranium,
but not with final-stage weapons.

Yes. Quoting what I heard in grad school and what is at
http://ctp.berkeley.edu/neutrino/neutrino4.html

Moreover, if neutrinos convert to something else by their own
accord, we conclude that they must be travelling slower than
the speed of light and therefore must have a mass.

Neutrinos oscillate between their three different flavors:
electron nutrino, muon nutrino, tau neutrino.

No. That's why they are so inscrutible.

Re: [MBZ] Resurrecting a vergasser WUZ: Choices

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

My dad also had a hand held tachometer.  The end of it was similar to 
the tapered rubber plug on the compression tester.  You held that end on 
a rotating shaft center, and it mechanically moved a strip up the side 
to indicate RPM.  It worked similarly to the 110/111 vertical 
speedometer.   Before tractors had tachometers, he used it to set a 
tractor throttle position to get the tight PTO speed by checking RPM on 
the fan on the back of the speedsprayer he sold.  (Air blast  sprayer)

Restoration hell, it looks good. Bring the mechanicals up to snuff and enjoy. A 
real gem at $4k, I bet it'll go for at least triple that...

This could be a bargain find and a great restoration candidate for someone

A working Becker Mexico Am/FM cassette with functioning search bar is
probably worth over $400 today.

Re: [MBZ] Release Fuel Door Actuator?

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

Above. I have the later model that's barrel shaped with the red mushroom for 
the manual release.

It looks like there's a tab on the forward part that has to be pressed to 
release the actuator from the part anchored to the car.

I'll poke around on it this afternoon when I get home from work.

I know there’s a tab of some sort that you can push on to release the actuator 
from the bushing that goes through the opening to the fuel door, but without 
some sort of visualization I’m not having a lot of luck.

I’ve found a few pictures and references to this on the interwebs, but none of 
them are terribly detailed or have a good picture.

No, just an insomniac.

I see on another forum that in about 2011 the Becker folks in New Jersey
would sell the technical manual for not too much $$, I found a scan / post
for the Mexico 375 (??) model here:

Looks like there's supposed to be an external amplifier section?  I see pix
that have two parts.

You are a GOD of navigation and speaker wires.

Now I need to find someplace to hide an amp, such that the wires travel back to 
the console and the fader

Re: [MBZ] Becker Mexican stand off

[clay via Mercedes]

Exactly like that.

I have been searching the interWebz for data and I suspect that the stub is 
actually the connection to the AMP.  So the red and green are the speaker 
wires, with the common negative mated up inside the head unit.

But this has no amp, just some thing with A, B, C, D, E on a dial.

I'm guessing, but I think those are the speaker wires, and the externally
wrapped wire is the ground (negative) side for the speakers.  Nautically
speaking, port (left) side of the vessel would get the red wire, starboard
(right) the green.
