Yes they do allow light in, but filter out effectively all of the UV - even when not in auto-dark mode. There is a finite amount of time required to darken the mask.

I've heard that the self-darkening shields do allow a momentary flash when you first strike the arc, extended use can lead to a "dry eye" feeling due to the repeated, but short, UV exposure.

The odds don't change from 1/3 to 1/2 in this case, because the opening of the door reveals no new information. It is assumed that Monty knows where the prize is and will open a bad door every time and then offer you the trade. Let us simplify by saying the prize is behind door #1. Three outcomes: You pick #1, he shows 2 or 3, and offers you the chance to trade, which would be bad. You pick 2, he shows you 3, lets you switch to 1, which would be good. You pick 3, he shows you 2, lets you switch to 1, which would be good. Notice that trading wins in 2/3 of the cases above, therefore you should trade.

Re: [MBZ] 1987 300SDL
I know many people have had bad experiences financing cars - especially for family members. One time was an exception - was selling my 25' wooden sailboat - 1st guy came by with his wife, wanted it but could only pay 1/2 then ($1500) and wanted a month to pay the rest - another $1500. Within 2 weeks he;d paid me off. But he was a stranger - perhaps a relative would have been different?

Re: [MBZ] OT, computer supplies
Hi Dave, Thanks for putting that parts list & info together - it's often tempting to buy a bunch of parts that have good prices but as not very compatible. Sure they work, but it can end up being a Yugo with a Ferrari V12 - where one end is great but limited by the other end. Compatibility is critical to get speed. One question - is SATA the way to go? Also I haven;t kept up with all the new stuff - don;t really know what to look for. Should I be trying to connect my digital Cable TV to a computer - to save programs etc? Is that more that they can do? Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong? Anyway, thx again -- I hope others pay attention.

Re: [MBZ] Climate Control Failure Mode
Well, I pulled the blower (without the benefit of a manual), and the brushes and commutator are toasterrific. What's even more disturbing, is the huge amount of grunge-buildup on the heater core fins. It's almost entirely occluded any passage of air through there. It looks a lot like the texture of velour. Is there a preferred method for removing this offending gunk? I'll bet my heater/cooler output increases measurably after this little exercise.

Re: [MBZ] Climate Control Failure Mode
Yikes, Casey. That's a scary photo. And I thought my 300E was bad! What I did to clean the fins was use a shop vacuum, and a toothbrush, to scrape and suck away as much as possible, without pushing it further into the core. I then used a foaming evaporator cleaner from a local HVAC supply store to attempt further cleaning. I rinsed it with water from a garden sprayer tank... the liquid runs out the bottom drain tubes onto the floor. While it looked a lot prettier afterwards, I didn't notice any significant improvement in HVAC performance, but mine wasn't nearly as bad as yours. Here are photos of my my evap cleaning project - only one side was occluded on mine, though: http://www.w124performance.com/images/W124_stuff/evap_clean1.jpg http://www.w124performance.com/images/W124_stuff/evap_clean2.jpg http://www.w124performance.com/images/W124_stuff/evap_clean3.jpg http://www.w124performance.com/images/W124_stuff/evap_clean4.jpg http://www.w124performance.com/images/W124_stuff/evap_clean5.jpg I used Nu-Calgon Evap Foam cleaner, roughly $10/can - here's a link: http://tinyurl.com/cdddo This is a good reason to use the filters that Aaron Lam obtained through some contacts in Japan... it helps keep this crud out of your evaporator. Bummer they're so expensive, and so hard to obtain. It's a worse bummer that the factory didn't start using filters on the 124 chassis the until 1994 model year. And, worse yet, the factory setup can't be retrofitted without replacing the *entire* HVAC box (i.e., gutting the entire car)... you can't just add the factory filters to an 86-93 model. :-( -- Dave M.

Re: [MBZ] 1987 300SDL
Helping a friend and being taken advantage of are two different things. I'll be more than happy to help someone find a car or to look at a car that someone is considering. I've had family members ask me to finance cars and I've always said "no". The last one was my youngest Brother who wanted to buy a car from me and make payments. I TOLD him to borrow the money from a bank and he told me that he could not because he would not be able to pay back the loan. Then I asked how he expected to pay me back?

Re: [MBZ] WAS 1987 300SDL NOW helping with repairs
The unfortunate thing is that some people really don't want to do anything for themselves and will take advantage of anyone who offers to assist. I have a nephew who is struggling somewhat. He is now married and they have one child. He never went to school beyond high school and has had difficulty finding a job that will support them. He has chosen somewhat wisely in that they now have a house. However they have no vehicle and rely on the kindness of various family members whenever there is a gathering. He buses it to work and back. I had an old Ford sedan that no one appeared willing to buy (ultimately did sell it for a whole lot less than I had in it but that is another story). In any event, I voiced the thought that we should give it to Matt to help them out. My wise wife said we should not as unfortunately, Matt is the type that will then expect me to maintain or repair it forever and will complain at every family function that we gave him a car that was junk. I took her advice and did not offer it to him. The result is that he is still without a car but could have driven that old LTD for a long time with any sort of minimal ongoing maintenance. It had a totally rebuilt 302 and AT. Was simple enough not to have power windows or locks etc - No AC and a solid frame so that rust in the body would not make it unsafe for a long time. One of my son's friends paid us $1G for it and has driven it for almost a year without incident - even smacked the back of another car hard enough to cause the poor kid some significant back discomfort for a couple of weeks without doing any damage to the LTD. Don't ask about the little Japanese import that he hit from behind.

Re: [MBZ] 1987 300SDL
I'm still willing to help list members with their Mercedes providing they are stopping by to learn something. If you do a valve adjustment on someone's car, you'll be doing it forever, but if you teach them how to do it, you **SHOULDN'T*** have to do it ever again. There was a neighbor kid who always had trouble tuning his RC car engine to run properly, so I thought I'd just tune it for him. Every few days, he would come to me and complain that it wasn't running right. Even when I explained to him how to do it, he would end up messing with it and it wouldn't run at all. I ended up selling him one of my cars, and that one never did run right once he started tweaking the settings. I think both of them are reduced to parts now or have been forgotten.

Re: [MBZ] how the world has changed
I'm lucky to work for a principal who is very "hands off" unless you need her. She's also someone who you know will back you up, no matter what, as long as you arrived at the decision you made in a logical manner. There are too many administrators, who, faced with an angry parent, will cave in to avoid a confrontation or to have a conflict escalated to a higher authority. Parents know this, so if they take someone on they know to expect to get their way in many cases. This leaves you, the teacher in question, looking like an ass, not to mention swinging in the wind in a figurative sense. Your authority is now compromised, meaning you have lost control of your classroom. It's a sad thing, and even more so, it's sad because it's not the kids, it the parents.

I have a computer at work that is VERY slow and want to manually select or deselect which programs load at startup. There is some command that you run that brings up a window that lists everything that loads and you can unselect what you dont want to load. --- Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] OT, computer supplies
Be very careful with referbished hardware from NewEgg. They sell "NewEgg referbished" and "manufacturer referbished". Manufacturer refurbished gets full warrenty, NewEgg refurb gets 7 days from the day it SHIPS.

I didn't want to futz around with multiple stores shipping at different times and I built my computer for ~$400 with excellent components. Still runs today; it's now my parents' computer.

Re: [MBZ] OT, computer supplies
I've bought quite a bit from Tigerdirect. They used to be poor to deal with but now are pretty good. Their prices are reasonable. You can do better from wierd Eddie's internet emporium but the chance of getting scammed is pretty good. Really the best deal in my mind is to buy a Dell or HP or something, its hard to save any money building on components any more. -Curt Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2007 11:06:55 -0500 From: "Dwight E.

Re: [MBZ] bet none of you would be able to guess who this guy's grandfather is
not at all. i'm on an einstein kick lately and that man is the genuine blood article. it's actually any easy line to follow. albert has 3 known children, but only 1 lives to have children. that one has 3 children, one died in infancy in 1938, one is adopted (who makes claims to being actually albert's illegitimate child, but this claim cannot be substantiated) and is still alive and the third is the pictured dr einstein. so dr einstein, md, and his 3 children are the only living legitimate blood descendents to the famous dr albert einstein. put the hair on him though and the resemblance is pretty clear, huh?
