Until "green" power sources are required to have enough storage that they
can put out a constant amount continuously, they will have to be backed
up with conventional sources, some of which are just idling until the
"green" source drops out. Running a conventional power plant that way is
very inefficient and wasteful, and generates more carbon dioxide than just
having the conventional plant by itself, tarnishing the "green" of
"green" power sources.

Re: [MBZ] OT cheap genset

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Along those same lines as Craig says….

Most people don’t grasp what goes on behind the scenes at a major utility when 
it comes to power production.  The utility has to have generating capacity 
ready and on line for the demand.  If they don’t, they have to purchase power 
from one of their fellow utilities through inter-local agreements, which is 
very expensive.

Add to this the need to have large steam or gas turbines up and running for 
peak times.  From a cold start it can take a steam turbine as much as 15-18 
hours to be up and on line to produce maximum power.  That means in the summer 
when everyone is going to turn on their AC at home in the afternoon the plant 
needs to be spooled up and ready to respond to that demand - they will need to 
have fired up that generator more than half a day in advance to be ready.

And what happens if there’s a sudden cold snap?  That excess capacity can be 
sold off to other utilities who might need it, otherwise it’s effectively lost.

This is why utilities pay very close attention to the weather, for example, as 
well as keeping very precise records to baseline their production requirements. 
 They have to be able to estimate the needs of their customers as closely as 
possible to run as efficiently as they can.

Yup, that's how it works, if you mean green mixed with conventional.

There currently is no storage on the grid: When demand increases, power
stations have to crank out more power; when demand increases, power
stations have to decrease the amount of power they are putting out.

"Green" power is highly variable hour to hour. That appears to
conventional plants as a variable demand in addition to the variation
from actual demand.

Until "green" power sources are required to have enough storage that they
can put out a constant amount continuously, they will have to be backed
up with conventional sources, some of which are just idling until the
"green" source drops out. Running a conventional power plant that way is

government of OR and the city of Portland are rather to the left of 
center. There also are some totalitarian tendencies. If you don't 
agree with their policies, they would like to squash you. And don't 
get in the way of their income from red light cameras!


My brother has an ME degree from The Cooper Union and a master's in 
industrial engineering from NYU, but a friend told me he was not 
really an engineer because he was not a licensed PE. Really!


There's a lot of craziness out there WRT credentials and licensing.

I have a friend who has a Master's Degree in Engineering but is not 
permitted to be a Professional Engineer because he does not have a 
Bachelor's Degree in Engineering. He also has a Master's Degree in 
Botony and I don't know what his undergraduate degree is but he teaches 
in a college and runs a company on the side that proto-types electronic 
stuff. A very smart and talented guy. One would think the profession

Re: [MBZ] 1991 Mercedes SL300 $1500

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

They seldom have those with the magnet on back for free.   I grab that 
kind any time I can.  The little round ones are great when you throw out 
the HF batteries and put rayovac or other quality batteries in em.   I 
left one on under a media desk, and it was still putting out light the 
next day when I went to retrieve it.   That was the first one that got 
new batteries and it was about twice as bright as a new one with HF 
batteries.  HF batteries are pure crap.


I have screwdrivers out the wazoo now.  I go to the 4 in 1 or 6 in 1 
first.  Then the old 1/4 x 12" snears crapsman.  I have 5 or 6 of them 
scattered in different places.  Most of the others just sit.  a 1/8 x 4" 
is nice too.  I used to carry one in my toolbox all the time.  It will 
also work on phillips screws if it is not in too tight.

Re: [MBZ] I am the Salkerlina Kleb

$200 and maybe an easy fix.  If not, get it running if not too crazy and 
let the girl child drive it, the SD is giving her fits. If it takes too 
much, part it out and take it to the knackers, which would be a shame, 
but...

I have a friend who has a Master's Degree in Engineering but is not 
permitted to be a Professional Engineer because he does not have a 
Bachelor's Degree in Engineering. He also has a Master's Degree in 
Botony and I don't know what his undergraduate degree is but he teaches 
in a college and runs a company on the side that proto-types electronic 
stuff. A very smart and talented guy. One would think the profession 
would be proud to claim him as one of their own but they will not.

First and last are not finnies (W110/111/112) but W108 chassis cars. Middle one 
is, but it's been lowered. Ugh.

Thanks for these - keep them coming!

I really won't be ready to buy for another week or two, but it can't hurt to 
see what's out there as it might still be around when I'm ready...

[MBZ] WTB: '94-'95 124 wagon

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Wanted to Buy: '94 or '95 124 wagon, will be recipient body for OM603
transplant.The ideal wagon would have a blown engine or transmission but
otherwise immaculate, $1000 or less.

Unlike Dan, I can't travel anywhere to get it, and the best prices will be
for a dead or dying car that I'll have to tow home. In the event the car is
in good running condition so I can drive back to SC, I'm not too interested
in a multi-day drive, so a running car probably needs to be east of the
Mississippi.

Re: [MBZ] Find Me a Finnie!

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

A very crowded driveway right now. If these kids would ever move out I would 
have more space...

I have a two car garage (300D & SL500) a three car wide driveway (1994 S420, 
350SDL, 300SEL) and the street (1998 S420).

The two W126 cars are usually parked end to end in front of the 300D's garage 
so the SL500 can come and go freely. Needless to say it's quite a ballet when I 
need to work on a particular car in the garage.

With the 300SEL coming online soon, either it or the 98 S420 will be departing.

This is actually a decent car to start with, interior not bad at all, just
some faded paint.  I found a little rust starting underneath but nothing

he works at a Honda indy, looks like they are into ricing out Hondas.  
They had a dyno set up, but looked like you could only get a FWD car on

Exactly my thought.  Wouldn't that be something, pop in a bushing or 
two and it's good to go...  It did have fluid in it and didn't smell 
burned so that part seemed OK.  I'll have to wait until I get it where 
I can get it lifted.  I think my friend might let me put it in her 
barn so that would be a good place to work on it.


I need to get a battery for it too, get a filter and see about gas.  
Any thoughts on resurrecting that aspect to see if the engine will run 
after so long?

Check the shift linkage bushings before you do anything else. And 
fluid level, of course.

Max and I went and looked at the POSEL300 yesterday.  The kid wanted 
$300 for it, said the tranny was bad, had sat for 5 or 6 years.  It 
was in surprisingly good shape, body very good, paint starting to fade 
a bit on top (calling MarthaPoos), interior not too bad though one 
window was down with a tarp in it and another was down about an inch, 
but it wasn't moldy or anything.  Fairly clean. Gave him $200 for it, 
gonna go pick it up this afternoon or tomorrow with my trailer.  It is 
a sorta brown/bronze color, not too dark.  I'll have to run the VIN.


As we were leaving we noticed a 126 sitting at a tow yard across the 
street.  We went over to take a look at it, really nice maroon 500SEL 
that someone had hit 2 palmettos on the RF and completely destroyed 
it, they had just towed it in.  Tow guy said it was on Keewaw.  Blood 
on driver airbag, he said the driver was in the hospital.  I asked 
about buying the hulk, thinking a 500->300SEL swap...  He said they 
would have to wait for insco to sort it out, call back in a week.  
I'll keep track of it, see if the engine/tranny looks intact.  I tried 
to track down who it might have belonged but no luck so far.


I am supposing that swapping about any 126 engine into a 126 chassis 
should be fairly straightforward?  Wilton/Max's dizzel (though from 
diff chassis)?  This POSEL could be a fairly nice car maybe.  Or if we 
can get the engine running, is the 300 tranny anything special to that 
engine or will any 126 tranny fit?  Or maybe the tranny problem is 
something simple, the kid said it just quit working, would not go into 
F or R, which does not sound like a progressive failure.  i wonder if 
the shifter is working.


I got plates for the 560SEC yesterday so gonna get that beeste on the 
road and having some fun.

Re: [MBZ] I am the Salkerlina Kleb

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Exactly my thought.  Wouldn't that be something, pop in a bushing or two 
and it's good to go...  It did have fluid in it and didn't smell burned 
so that part seemed OK.  I'll have to wait until I get it where I can 
get it lifted.  I think my friend might let me put it in her barn so 
that would be a good place to work on it.


I need to get a battery for it too, get a filter and see about gas.  Any 
thoughts on resurrecting that aspect to see if the engine will run after 
so long?

Re: [MBZ] The Crack is Very Strong With This One

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

2 good things about it:  Has the right battery.  Has original oil bath 
air cleaner, not a stupid cone filter.


55k?  take a 0 off and he'd be lucky.

However, being a gasser it is more favored by the collectors.  (allowing 
for the fact that the fin car is the most (undeservedly) despised body 
type among collectors.

[MBZ] I am the Salkerlina Kleb

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Max and I went and looked at the POSEL300 yesterday.  The kid wanted 
$300 for it, said the tranny was bad, had sat for 5 or 6 years.  It was 
in surprisingly good shape, body very good, paint starting to fade a bit 
on top (calling MarthaPoos), interior not too bad though one window was 
down with a tarp in it and another was down about an inch, but it wasn't 
moldy or anything.  Fairly clean. Gave him $200 for it, gonna go pick it 
up this afternoon or tomorrow with my trailer.  It is a sorta 
brown/bronze color, not too dark.  I'll have to run the VIN.


As we were leaving we noticed a 126 sitting at a tow yard across the 
street.  We went over to take a look at it, really nice maroon 500SEL 
that someone had hit 2 palmettos on the RF and completely destroyed it, 
they had just towed it in.  Tow guy said it was on Keewaw.  Blood on 
driver airbag, he said the driver was in the hospital.  I asked about

I would avoid any R129 made prior to 1997, especially the earliest ones.  Worse
