 Yup - it's hard to beat instant gratification, but it's also hard to
 beat the magic of watching the print appear before your eyes, not to
 mention the smell of fixer!
 If Anne has gone digital, I suspect it would be with a high end digi

All the Old Timers that I know and have learned from have a bias
towards Lincoln. They refuse to even try an auto-darkening helmet -
but all agree it is a good thing for us youngsters. They also say that
a single accidental flash without a mask in place can cause permanent
damage. One guy has been using the same mask for over 50 years.

Lincoln has a $200 spool gun. Make sure that is an option on whatever
model you get. It allows you to mig weld aluminum. I got a Miller and
regret it. The spool gun option costs more than I paid for the base
unit.

When you are learning to weld, you will make mistakes. A common
mistake is to strike an arc accidentally when lining up to start the
weld. That can happen on Tig, Mig, or stick. If you do that without a
mask in place or with the visor flipped up, you expose your cornea to
a huge dose of UV and can literally burn a hole in your retina before
your brain says Blink.
An auto-darkening mask is not transparent to begin with. It starts
somewhere around a 3-5 shade. Most let you adjust that. Even if the
auto-dark fails, it still saved your butt.

The extra power output of the 180 is a big plus. I'm often wishing I
had more power. That lets you use a larger wire which means you finish
sooner and use less gas (depending on the task at hand). More power
penetrates deeper allowing you to get a good weld on thicker
materials. I'll defer the choice between the T and C models to someone
that has actually used them.

[MBZ] OT: Welding day

2007-12-30 Thread Peter T . Arnold
Several years ago, I bought a cheap Lincoln wire feed MiG with a kit
to use gas cover.  With it, I could do a serviceable weld in CLEAN
sheet metal.  
I fixed the floors in my Met.  Very ugly as welds were badly
contaminated due to the floor having some type of rust preventative on
it  The big problem was that the duty cycle on the welder was about 20
seconds before it would go off on safety.
I fooled to DMV inspector who wouldn't pass the very neat  Pop Rivet
job the P/O had done.
I put the welder in a corner, anything I needed to weld for a few
years I did at work with our TIG.
2 years ago I wanted to build a BBQ out of a 55 gal drum and a bunch
of scrap angle iron.  HInt: Old bed frames are very good raw stock!
I trusted friend suggested that I loose the gas cover and use flux
filled wire.  His rationale:  My machine couldn't melt .035 wire, it
was too small capacity.  
.035 flux filled wire has much less metal to melt.  I built my BBQ!
Welds needed multiple passes and had to be chipped in between.  They
have good penetration and are functional.
The BBQ has been used  abused for several year, we've never lost a
rack of ribs from poor welding!

   *Anyone* can do a decent mig weld the same day they first try it. Tig

   With a Mig welder and a plasma cutter, you can do about anything.

TIG makes a cleaner prettier weld but its slower because its a

 Change the fuses...? Here's what I discovered today (thx to Booth):

 I bought an '84 300D from a guy on Craigslist early summer. With my 
 schedule
 I didn't have a chance to pick the car up until late September and just 
 this
 past week have gotten a chance to fool with it. It's a nice clean lil 230K
 car.

 When I bought the car the guy, who has no exprience with MB, or diesel was
 apparently in a haste to part with it. I got it for a very cheap price 
 (good
 faith on phone) and didn't see it until I actually picked it up.

 I did notice that the guy had bought sets of fog lamps and headlamps which
 were NIB in the trunk. Long story short, he apparently had tried to repair
 lights becoming frustrated that the fuses (which he finally located) 
 checked
 out on the meter and the bulbs weren't burned out. It was the same with 
 some
 other equipment. He decided to just sell the car at a loss and stick with
 his little late model gas Toyotas and Fords.

 Today with some time and a beautiful day I decided to tinker and heck,
 change the fuses (even though I too got continuity on the meter.)

 Guess what? In replacing all of the old fuses suddenly those items begin
 acting as intended. The right low beam and fog lights, the sunroof, etc..
 Heck, I've got two spare yellow fogs and a new headlight spare for the 
 price
 of a $0.20 fuse!

 Who would have thunk? So a believer now to change the fuse... especially
 that 80AMP GP relay before tearing into glow plugs. (Kinda like the uncle

 fuel.}

Had an even BIGGER camera. It was an Ansco (?) stat camera and shot 20X24(?)

Re: [MBZ] no talent required, apparently

2007-12-30 Thread Jeff Zedic



 So the talents of the artists and the compositions were irrelevant, he
 thought? Crosby, Sinatra, Fitzgerald and all the rest just showed up for
 the money,
 then.

 RLE

 No, but the mastering is another piece of the puzzle. I've found that a
lot of Sinatra's stuff is not as well recorded as Tony Bennett's although
Tony likes a lot of reverb on his vocals and Frank's are usually almost dry.
(no effects)

Ella always had her Norman (Granz) to make things just so.

Bing Crosby was very well recorded in the 40 onwards. He was a pioneer in
the multitrack recording method as well as tape recording. Later he put the
money up for Ampex to produce the first videotape! I recently bought a
couple of old albums by Binger and they were phenomenally  well recorded! I
was impressed.

OTOH, the first Zeppelin album has so much distortion in John Paul Jones'
bass that it drives me mad. Levels were just way too high.

 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

 Why's that?  Just because it's faster than flipping up and down an

 Because you can strike the arc while watching, instead of taking a

 away from what you are doing, dropping the helmet, and then trying to

 where

Há só dois lugares onde os seres humanos podem habitar para sempre: Um é o
céu, e o outro é o inferno (Apocalipse 20:15).



E um só caminho para ir ao céu: Jesus. Ele disse: Eu sou o caminho, e a
verdade, e a vida; ninguém vem ao Pai, senão por mim (João 14: 6).



Se ele não está mentindo, e é quem diz ser, elege-lo hoje incondicionalmente
como seu Salvador pessoal será a melhor decisão de tua vida. Recusar-lo é
eleger o pior para sempre.

A Bíblia em Romanos 3:23 diz: Porque todos pecaram e destituídos estão da
glória de Deus. Não obstante, vemos que ele nos ama e ele nos quer na sua
glória. Porque Deus amou o mundo de tal maneira que deu o seu Filho
unigênito, para que todo aquele que nele crê não pereça, mas tenha a vida
eterna (João. 3: 16).



Graças a seu amoroso plano de salvação, centenas de milhares de pessoas já
estão salvas - libertas do inferno - e certamente residirão no reino dos
céus para sempre, só porque tomaram a palavra de Deus (Apocalipse 7: 9).



Agora toma sua palavra também, e proclamate estar salvo, e herdeiro do Reino

*WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY? *



If you die right now, where would you spend eternity? No doubt, this is the
most important question of your life, since your eternal future will depend
on its answer.



There are only two places where mankind can live forever: one is heaven, and
the other is hell (Revelation 20: 15).



And only one way to go to heaven: Jesus. He said: *I am the way and the
truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:
6). *



If he is not lying, and he is who he says he is, choosing him today as your
unconditional Saviour will be the best decision of your life. Not to choose
will be the worst forever (John 3: 36).



Since we were all born contaminated by the original sin, committed by our
first fathers in Eden, we are all destitute from the glory of God (in
heaven), and condemned to eternal punishment (in hell) (Revelation 21:
8). The Bible in Romans 3: 23 says: *For all have sinned, and fall short of
the glory of God. *



However, we see that he loves us, and he wants us in his glory. *For* *God
(Father) so loved the world (you), that he gave us his one and only Son
(Jesus, God the Son) that whoever (you) believes in him, shall not perish
(in hell), but have eternal life (in heaven) (John 3: 16). *



Thanks to his loveling plan of salvation, hundreds of millions of people are
already saved (free from hell), and they will certainly live in the kingdom
of heaven forever, only because they believed the word of God  (Revelation
7: 9).



Now you believe it as well, and proclaim yourself saved and inheriter of his

If you call the entire body a 'back' (as in back of the lens)
then Canon and Nikon both have them!  I have lust in my heart
for a Canon EOS-1DS Mark II.  That will preserve my $10k in

Ah, yes - yours was bigger than mine (only 20x20). I still use the 19
process lens for sharp portraits on the 8x10 Linhof. I have a 16 Ilex
portrait f 3.5 (HUGE) lens for the softer ones.
I traded a C220 with lens for my first hard drive - an ST225.
The Omega 4x5 enlarger is in the attic, but the color head and the
Focomat IIc are under dust covers, in what was once the studio.


 I almost bought a Mamiya C330 in London the other week in Portobello road
 market. It was a good price 145 quid. I used to have a C220 with a couple of
 lenses but traded it in for my second Hasselblad. Then bought a Pentax 6X7.
 Had three lenses and six backs for the Blad. Tried the 500 ELM for a bit but
 didn't like it.

 Really enjoyed my 4x5 and the Deardorff 8x10 I played with for a while too.
 Had an even BIGGER camera. It was an Ansco (?) stat camera and shot 20X24(?)
 negatives!! YES, that is in inches! MASSIVE! It was 54 inches long at full
 bellows extension.

 My darkroom had a Beseler 23CII XL with a cold light head, incandescent head
 and two lenses. Six element Rodenstock and six element Schneider or Nikkor.
 Good old daystouring the middle east with my blad...shooting 100 rolls
 of 120 and then spending weeks in isolation...hehehe

 I agree that the ultimate has to be an 8x10 contact on good double weight
 fibre-based paper. SWEET! Is that fixer I smell?

[MBZ] Brain picking: Moving switches off lower part of 123 console

2007-12-30 Thread Robert Bigham
Hello folks

I'm about to replace my fourway flasher switch in 
order to pass state inspection. That's if cleaning 
attempts fail. 

It's had too many cups of coffee and water and 
who knows what else spilled on it.  Works when 
it wants to - maybe works OK a dozen times in 
a row and then doesn't work for the next dozen 
times.  Does disable the turn signal switch when 
it doesn't work.  It costs $26 for a Hella switch
locally, so that's not too bad.  Still not good.

I keep looking at the five blank locations up high 
on the console and thinking why not put it there 
instead of down low where everything that gets 
spilled runs into it?  Why not put the speaker 
balance switch there too?
  .
Has anyone else thought of this or tried it?  Is 
ther something I can learn from you instead of 
learning everything the hard way?

Thanks.  Robert

Re: [MBZ] The death of high fidelity

2007-12-30 Thread Jeff Zedic
Talking about BIG stuff, years ago I used to work in a studio that did
enLARGEments. I'm talking billboard sized photographs. (well, almost).

The biggest photo I ever developed was 8x32 feet. It was for MB Canada oddly
enough and was a photo of the W196(?)'s crossing the line at LeMans 1,2,3 in
the mid 50's.

My darkroom was approx. 60 feet long. Long enough that I could have paper on
the wall ready to expose and someone could walk in the door, not a darkroom
door, and the paper wouldn't fog! Had a horizontal enlarger, on rails, that
was made from an 8x10 body and would focus but pulling a string when the
enlarger was 20 or so feet away. Always used 8x10 copy negs and process
lenses so sharpness was never an issue. Great fun but no money in it for me,
sadly.

Also, used to do fine art prints for local photogs exhibitions. I did one
for a photog named Larry Towell who I know see is a member of the Magnum
agency. THE most prestigious agency in the world. Pleased about that! hehe

We also had a Durst Laborator 8x10 vertical enlargerbig bugger that was,
and a Elwood (?) 5x7 vertical but it never got used much.

The biggest challenge was trying to roll an eight foot long roll of 54 wide
single weight fibre-based paper through the developing process without
creasing it or leaving half-moon fingernail marks on it...imagine trying
to roll wet paper towel that size without tearing..many hours of
frustration there.

We also made our own developer, stop and fixer from scratch. Bill, my boss,
had formulated his own mix back in the 30's and used it ever since. He was
awesome; 70 years experience in the darkroom! He used to get mad because I'd
want to do exposure test strips for prints but he could just eyeball the neg
and print. Got it right first time, too!

Are 4 x 5 Graflexes still around?  I think they go back to the flash powder 
days.  The newspaper used an Omega D2 enlarger, a Linhof view (don't 
remember the film size), 4 x 5 Speed Graphics, Leicas, and Rollieflexes 
during the late 1940s when I worked there as a teenager.
Luckily the editor told me I should find some other line of work since I was 
one of the worst photographers he'd ever seen.  He was right but it was 
still fun; darkroom/enlarger work especially.  We went out on the downtown 
streets and asked people the question of the day and took their picture 
for the daily column.  I've often wondered why newspapers quit doing that. 
The editor said it was good for circulation since it got ordinary people 
personally involved.

 process lens for sharp portraits on the 8x10 Linhof. I have a 16 Ilex

The TLR is particularly useful for IR film and and 87 (black)

The largest print we made was 4X8 feet - we turned one of the
enlargers horizontally, projected the 35mm neg onto the RC paper
tacked to the cork board wall opposite, and exposed for 30 minutes.
Development was hand see-sawing it through trays made from wall paper
trays hot glued together to make them long enough. We only made a half
dozen or so prints that way - too manual. They were exhibited at the
State Fair that year.
Sounds like you got to work with a real darkroom artist. They are a
rare breed now!
We brewed up developers for Tech Pan 35mm film (back when it had a
special order number and only came in 100 rolls), and played with
mixing pyro paper developer form formula, but that's about it.

I'm impressed with the Leitz lens on my Panasonic FZ30 - as a snap

camera for a play toy, and will have to do until something serious

Re: [MBZ] The death of high fidelity

2007-12-30 Thread OK Don
I have a friend who still plays with his 4X5 tele-graflex once in a
while ---  they are fun cameras. I have my grandfather's 2X3 speed
graphic, but haven't cut/loaded any film for it. Now that I think
about it, my first serious camera was a 2X3 Crown Graphic.
The Linhof was probably a Technica - my daughter still uses her 4X5
Technica IV when she's serious about an image.

On Dec 30, 2007 11:53 AM, archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Are 4 x 5 Graflexes still around?  I think they go back to the flash powder
 days.  The newspaper used an Omega D2 enlarger, a Linhof view (don't
 remember the film size), 4 x 5 Speed Graphics, Leicas, and Rollieflexes
 during the late 1940s when I worked there as a teenager.
 Luckily the editor told me I should find some other line of work since I was
 one of the worst photographers he'd ever seen.  He was right but it was
 still fun; darkroom/enlarger work especially.  We went out on the downtown
 streets and asked people the question of the day and took their picture
 for the daily column.  I've often wondered why newspapers quit doing that.
 The editor said it was good for circulation since it got ordinary people
 personally involved.

 mesmo, onde passarias a eternidade? Sem dúvida esta é a pergunta mais
 importante de sua vida, já que de sua resposta dependerá seu futuro  
 eterno.



 Há só dois lugares onde os seres humanos podem habitar para sempre:  
 Um é o
 céu, e o outro é o inferno (Apocalipse 20:15).



 E um só caminho para ir ao céu: Jesus. Ele disse: Eu sou o caminho,  
 e a
 verdade, e a vida; ninguém vem ao Pai, senão por mim (João 14: 6).



 Se ele não está mentindo, e é quem diz ser, elege-lo hoje  
 incondicionalmente
 como seu Salvador pessoal será a melhor decisão de tua vida.  
 Recusar-lo é
 eleger o pior para sempre.



 Posto que nascemos contagiados pelo pecado original, cometido por  
 nossos
 primeiros pais no Jardim do Éden, estamos
 destituídojavascript:ol('http://www.wordtheque.com/owa-wt/ 
 wordtheque_dba.w.t?w%3ddestitu%eddo%26amp;l%3dpt');s
 da Glória de Deus no céu, e condenado ao castigo eterno no inferno
 (Apocalipse 21:8).



 A Bíblia em Romanos 3:23 diz: Porque todos pecaram e destituídos  
 estão da
 glória de Deus. Não obstante, vemos que ele nos ama e ele nos quer  
 na sua
 glória. Porque Deus amou o mundo de tal maneira que deu o seu Filho
 unigênito, para que todo aquele que nele crê não pereça, mas tenha  
 a vida
 eterna (João. 3: 16).



 Graças a seu amoroso plano de salvação, centenas de milhares de  
 pessoas já
 estão salvas - libertas do inferno - e certamente residirão no  
 reino dos
 céus para sempre, só porque tomaram a palavra de Deus (Apocalipse  
 7: 9).



 Agora toma sua palavra também, e proclamate estar salvo, e herdeiro  
 do Reino
 por fé; porque Ele disse que assim seria. É Deus, e ele não mente  
 (Numera
 23: 19).



 Ore: *Senhor Jesus, eu creio que derramaste teu precioso sangue,  
 morrete
 por meus pecados, e ressucitaste para minha justificação *(Romanos.  
 4: 23)*.
 *



 *Perdoa-me, entra en meu coração, e da-me vida eterna contigo em  
 teu Reino
 Celestial. Senhor meu e Deus meu, te dou graças por amar-me e  
 salvar-me. *



 *Leia a bíblia para ser sábio, creia para ser salvo e praticar para  
 ser
 santo.
 Assiste a uma igreja cristã, cuja autoridade seja a bíblia e Jesus  
 Cristo
 seja pregado.

 *WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY? *



 If you die right now, where would you spend eternity? No doubt,  
 this is the
 most important question of your life, since your eternal future  
 will depend
 on its answer.



 There are only two places where mankind can live forever: one is  
 heaven, and
 the other is hell (Revelation 20: 15).



 And only one way to go to heaven: Jesus. He said: *I am the way  
 and the
 truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through  
 me (John 14:
 6). *



 If he is not lying, and he is who he says he is, choosing him today  
 as your
 unconditional Saviour will be the best decision of your life. Not  
 to choose
 will be the worst forever (John 3: 36).



 Since we were all born contaminated by the original sin, committed  
 by our
 first fathers in Eden, we are all destitute from the glory of God (in
 heaven), and condemned to eternal punishment (in hell) (Revelation 21:
 8). The Bible in Romans 3: 23 says: *For all have sinned, and fall  
 short of
 the glory of God. *



 However, we see that he loves us, and he wants us in his glory.  
 *For* *God
 (Father) so loved the world (you), that he gave us his one and only  
 Son
 (Jesus, God the Son) that whoever (you) believes in him, shall not  
 perish
 (in hell), but have eternal life (in heaven) (John 3: 16). 

[MBZ] 1967 200D labor of love

2007-12-30 Thread Bob Hamilton
I bought this car 3 years ago from the daughter of the original owner, Rolf 
Seidel.  He had bought it new in Red Deer on February 8, 1968 for $5,665.  (I 
have the Bill of Sale.)  It was located on a ranch west of Red Deer, Alberta 
and had spent it's whole life there.   Rolf passed away a number of years ago 
and his daughter, who had being storing it and driving it occasionally decided 
it was time to find a new home for it.

We knew each other through a work connection.  We were at a Christmas function 
and  another fellow and I were talking about our old vehicles - his a 56 Chevy 
and mine a 51 Willys pickup  (http://picasaweb.google.com/hamibob/WillysTruck)  
She mentioned that she had an old car she was wanting to sell - our ears perked 
up.  I subsequently went and looked at it, decided to buy it and then drove it 
home to Spruce Grove, west of Edmonton - about 2 hours.  They had recently had 
the motor rebuilt so it drives nicely - no power, not much speed but smooth.  
At least that's what I remember as I haven't driven it for 3 years!

Once I got it in the workshop, I discovered that the rust was quite a bit worse 
than what I originally thought (isn't it always!).  I worked on it a bunch when 
I first got it and then have not been too motivated to do much until the last 
couple weeks.  Now, I'm moving nicely in getting the rusty metal cut out, 
fabricating new pieces, welding them in and getting it ready to paint.  I 
thought I'd share with you where I am at.  I had noticed some discussion about 
welding lately - I'm guessing none of you are welding like what  I am doing!

The pictures of my progression to date are at:

Re: [MBZ] The Death of High Fidelity

2007-12-30 Thread andrew strasfogel
78s were acoustical until around 1925 IIRC, and then switched over to
electrical.  The electrical 78 rpm recordings have excellent sound quality,
if you don't mind a little surface noise.  (the surface noise on 78s from
the late 30s is nearly inaudible);)  I have tons of wonderful old
performances that predate the advance to 33 rpm and hi fi, and they are
priceless in terms of the artistry and technical wizardry of the likes of
Rachmaninoff, Artur Schnabel, and Josef Hofmann.  Among the great pianists
of the era, the career of Vladimir Horowitz spanned all the audio
tecnhologies and fortunately he still played like a demon into his 60s and
the advent of stereophonic sound.

  My dad, a retired physicist and life-long audiophile who built most
  of his own hi-fi stuff from the 40s to the 70s--including big tube
  amps that sucked enough juice to heat the whole room--is unconvinced
  that tube sound is better. He terms enthusiasm for tube amps and
  their harmonic distortion misplaced nostalgia, and prefers the more
  accurate reproduction of solid state amps. Back when his tube
  oscilliscope still worked, he'd show you the difference.
 
  I, however, have at this count 6 tube hi-fis--4 of them late fifties/
  early sixties German sets that have incredible sound--a combination
  of many speakers and very solid cabinets, among other things. Even my
  dad admits that my Grundig and Telefunken table radios have sound
  that blow away his Koss Model 88 and Bose wave tabletops, for all
  their much-lauded fidelity--probably because the Grundig, for
  example, has six speakers in its cabinet instead of the Koss' 3. I've
  found them at thrift shops for 75 bucks a piece or so.
 
  My other hi-fi is a 1942 Capehart console record player with an
  automatic changer that will play 20 consecutive 78s--both sides
  sequentially--completely automatically. It has a HUGE speaker in a
  solid walnut case, weighs close to 300 lbs, and has what my dad
  termed a 40-amp push-pull amplifier that will make your pants flap
  in the breeze. VERY powerful. I love listening to big band jazz on
  the original-release 78s with it, tho I do miss stereo reproduction.
  I've picked up a pretty good collection of Jazz on 78 at thrift and
  antique shops dirt cheap--as in $3 per box of 120 or so disks. Nobody
  wants 'em anymore. Filled my SD with 'em on one trip.

Re: [MBZ] 1967 200D labor of love

2007-12-30 Thread OK Don
It looks like a good project! I saw some surface rust behind the
panels you cut out - did you use anything like POR in there before
closing it up? Did you run complete beads around the replacement
panels, or leave them tacked in place, and sealed them with body
filler?

Wow!  You have your work cut out for you; especially at the bottom of the 
left rear door.  Before and after pictures will be interesting.

I had the same year/model car and did work on the fender.  The metal was 
supposed to be shrunk after repair by using a special tool that made 
corrugations which were then filled in.  Don't know how successful the 
shrinking was, but the fender held up fine to the end.

Re: [MBZ] Brain picking: Moving switches off lower part of 123 console

2007-12-30 Thread Robert Bigham

Thanks for sharing your experience, Jim.  It gives me 
confidence.  The new switch is ordered, and it can go 
on the shelf with some other stuff I have ratholed against 
possible future need.  

Someone asked me if I intended to keep/drive the Benz 
until my son takes it away from me, and I said yes.  
That's how I'm thinking.  I have a head gasket set, 
a starter, and alternator, a radiator, and many small parts
ratholed.  Fourway switch will fit right in.   

I actually have a pretty intense electrical day planned 
for January 1 - when I intend to buff all the contacts 
in the fuse box and buff and install new fuses.  According 
to some of what I've read, that ought to fix some 
electrical problems, maybe inclucing some I don't even 
know I have.

Bought a new Dremel in a box with a flex shaft and two 
cup brushes for this project.  As an indication of how 
important I think it is, my usual stle wouild be to try to 
buy one really cheap at a pawnshop.  I just marched 
into the tool place and bought this one.

BTDT (?) Goes past me.  Please interpret.   

Thanks again for your experience.Robert

Re: [MBZ] OT, computer supplies

2007-12-30 Thread Curt Raymond

I'm not sure I understand the question, are you saying going from a laptop 2.5 
ATA (ie. PATA or IDE) to a desktop SATA?
Not always an apples to apples conversion. Many (most?) laptop drives are 
5400rpm (some older drives are even 4300) while many (again most?) desktop 
drives are 7200rpm. Random reads on a 7200rpm drives will be much faster.

I'd venture to say that in most cases you'll see a larger speed bump going from 
a 5400rpm drive to a 7200 because its the seek speed that is lacking not 
transfer rate.

Peter,

I'm an old vacuum tube guy and I still restore vacuum tube radios and
amps today.

Some corrections  additions:

Vacuum tubes will  do clip. A vacuum tube is a voltage controlled
device while a transistor is a current controlled device and either can
be driven to clip. Clipping is nothing more than the device being
 turned
all the way on or off before the input signal reaches full potential.
Transisitor clipping is sharper than vacuum tube clipping.

Vacuum tube amps distort more than transistor amps and the vacuum tube
distortion is interpreted as a warmer  sound. Transistor amp
manufacturers have not been able to duplicate this distortion because
it's mechanical - it's in the physical tube design itself. I can still
hear the difference in the old radios  amps I work on today. You
believe the sound from a vacuum tube amp is higher quality because it
actually sounds better. Put a scope on the output of a tube amp  a
transistor amp and compare the difference and it's obvious that the
transistor amp output is cleaner.

If its a 16x9 monitor your old video card may just not be up to the job. On an

 Way easier overall. Pull the trigger, the arc strikes and you weld as
 much 
 as you need.

Is the wire touching when you pull the trigger?

 Way easier overall. Pull the trigger, the arc strikes and you weld as
 much 
 as you need.
 I did some ARC welding but had a very hard time getting a reliable
 arc. Of 
 course I was usually welding some pretty rusty stuff. My last project
 was 
 all clean material and I did alot better.

 My only experience is with stick and acetylene welding.  Haven't
 quite
 figured out why MIGs are so popular.  Easier to weld sheet metal?
  Constant
 welding without stopping to change sticks?  Less power needed?

[MBZ] Climate Control 1980 300D

2007-12-30 Thread jgiels
Scott I want to thank you again for your help. I went to the pick n pull and 
got a air jet nozzle. Which is not easy to get out! while there I picked up the 
sensor tube hose out of a 1982 300D the sensor in the middle of the dash. I 
took out the air nozzle jet out of my car and there was nothing wrong with it. 

Put it all back together and used the hose from the '82, cut it down some and 
so far it works fine!

So using the foam pipe insulation just leaks too much air, Probably through it. 


Thanks again All!

allen nut but couldn't get the one at pick n pull to budge! was using a 3/8

Too bad you had so much trouble isolating this problem.  The OEM foam pipe
deteriorates fairly quickly.  Mine was less than 4 years old and it crumbled
into sticky chunks when I bumped it while changing the ACC amp.  It's a
tight fit, but most folks recommend replacing the OEM foam tube with a piece
of foam pipe insulation from Lowes, Home Depot, etc.  It's cheap and pretty
durable.

I checked out the thermistor yesterday and found it to be good. The wire
going from the sensor to the gauge was no good, as well as the sensor
itself. I ran a new wire, as opposed to trying to find the break, and went
to pull-a-part today where I bought 3 sensors. (as well as a BUNCH of other
stuff)I will test them tonight, when my wife is not looking (need the pan on
the stove with boiling water) and then install if good. The 3 I bought are
all different so I need to compare to the one in the car. One is 100 to 107,
one is 105 to 115 and one is 100 to 110. Results to follow.

Re: [MBZ] Photography

2007-12-30 Thread Curt Raymond

I've got a now very battered Fuji 2650 2MP. Its been across the country with 
me, umm 5 times now. Down to Florida umm, 5 or 6 times I forget.
Gone to camp times without count. I've taken pictures from planes, boats, 
motorcycles, and snowmobiles. One time I was taking a picture of another 
snowmobiler at ~50mph and I dropped it. When I went back to get it I drove over 
it by accident in the dark.
The screen cracked when I dropped it from the 2nd floor balcony of a hotel room.
It still works pretty well although the flash takes a long time to charge and 
its hard on batteries. I'd asked my folks for a replacement 5MP for Christmas 
but haven't seen them yet.

Another alternative, though not ecologically correct, is using them

best use for one.

I read somewhere there is a market for used cell phones (well I'm not  
sure you get paid for them).

Apparently they are refurbished or recycled. If refurbished they are  
then sold into third world countries
where cell phones are likely the only way to get phone service. See  
other diesel lists notes about STEALING copper wire, aka telephone  
lines

Let's see NYTimes archives...

Ah yes, link to

http://www.recellular.com/recycling/donatePhones.asp


mmm even a program to get phones to usa military folks, and Wal-mart  
takes them (who knew)...

Re: [MBZ] 1967 200D labor of love

2007-12-30 Thread Bob Hamilton
Yes, before I close up the rocker panels, I coat the inside with a rust 
inhibitor type paint.  On the drivers side, I replaced the whole rocker so it 
was easy to coat but on the passenger side, it's a bit better so I'm patching 
the rocker rather than replacing it entirely.  Fortunately(?), the holes are 
big enough that I can get in there and clean it up and then slop the paint 
around.  By the time I am done, I will have coated the whole bottom of the car 
and all the parts where rust of any type is visible.  I'm doing it primarily 
with a paint brush.  (I won't use a paint brush for the outside!)



I don't weld around the whole panel that I am replacing for a couple reasons.  
First, continuous welding causes warping.  Second, it is plenty strong enough 
by tacking every few inches.  Third, a lot of the stuff that I am welding to 
isn't always real strong.  I typically cut out anything that is weak but the 
old metal isn't as easy to weld to as the new stuff - quite easy to blow holes 
if you aren't careful.  Fourth, the original rocker panels are not continuous 
welded - they are tack welded every few inches.



So, I tack it so that it is strong.  Then I grind it down a bit, then put on 
some seam sealer to close the all the holes that are left.  Next, I'll apply 
some bondo in places that I want to look pretty and will be painting the car 
color.  Inside the wheel wells, underneath and the inside, I'll put on some 
high build rockerguard type coating.  That will nicely hide my bad welding!

It looks like a good project! I saw some surface rust behind the panels you cut 
out - did you use anything like POR in there before closing it up? Did you run 
complete beads around the replacement panels, or leave them tacked in place, 
and sealed them with body filler?

You still have a functioning Seagate ST 225  Seagate 251??? I had one of
each with a Winchester drive controller. They made controllers for the
smaller drives too, not just the large platter drives.

[MBZ] 85 280SL

2007-12-30 Thread tony . bateman
I just ran over and took a look at this SL, looks good
But I'd have to find/put engine in I guess, probably not worth the 
hastle but I like the six and the bumpers on a euro. I figure
3k or less for the car, and $2500 for another engine installed
5-5.5k for a sweet little SL for the summer.
