Re: [MBZ] OT: Electronics Retail Store info
you wrote drives that look like a stack of LP's on a changer go out of style in the It amazes me how quickly things become obsolete - even now that PCs have become as common as TV sets - you mention the LP sized floppies which are long gone - after them the 5-1/4 came and went in favor or the 3.5. Now, the 3.5s are disappearing from new puters - only CD/DVD drives are available. I guess in the near future only flash drives wll come with new puters. I bought a coupld 4gb flash drives for $22 each - awesome little creations. I am almost overwhelmed when I consider what these 4Gbs represent - back in 87 I worked for a major chemical/fibers co in the cost department. there wasn't a pc in site - then the 8088s began to dribble in and the HDs measured in MBs. we often had to remove one program to run another. Now the TBs are available for $200? I;m sure the price will be close to $100 within a year. BTW, what comes after TB? a 1000 TBs is what?

Re: [MBZ] Welder's dream
I thought so. The engine is a derivative of the one in my 1959 220S. They are great engines. MB only went to the DOHC 280 because of America's more stringent emissions plans to move to lower grade fuels. The later 280 is a HEMI engine, allowing the higher compression engine to run on regular or mid-grade fuel.

[MBZ] Singletons.....and a picture
Yah, the decor at Singleton's is kinda casual and has a local ambiance to it. Ever been there at low tide in the summer? Refreshing! Bill, where do you live down there? My wife and I just inhereted a house in Oak Harbor (Off Mayport Road) after my father in law died 2/21 in Fleet Landing, which was our most recent trip to JAX. . (Burrial in NJ is tomorrow).We'll be down to clean/renovate/rent it out soon.. I'll let you know when we're back in town. As for Safe Harbor Seafood, It's on par, price-wise with Singleton's but Looks better; Smells better and a good place to buy fresh seafood, too. BTW, Most places down in Mayport sell Wild caught Mayport Shrimp, as well as the Farm Raised crap; Don't just assume because the shrimp boats are parked outside the fish is local. Gene's Seafood is about halfway between Atlantic and Beach on Penman Road. They've got weeknight specials. 18, (I think) shrimp plus 2 sides and hushpuppies. for something like $8.99 and others. O'Steens is a no-reservations, cash-only place, and depending on the night, be prepared to wait, sometimes up to 2 hours. It's in St. Augustine about 1/2 mile east of the Bridge of Lyons Bridge. Worth the drive down A1A from the beaches. We usially drive down, have cocktails in the parking lot while waiting for our names to be called. And 40 degrees and rain in NY makes me appreciate my trips to northeast florida even more. Which place closed due to road construction in the area? Did not see anything major last month.

Normal starter draw is around 900A cold, less hot as the engine spins easier. Higher draw hot indicates heat related resistance increase in the starter windings.

Re: [MBZ] Singletons.....and a picture
You were no doubt standing on the concrete portion of what used to be a pier when you took the picture - just where we were standing to look around when we were there. I am pretty sure O'Steens is no more, which is too bad as I had high hopes for the place. I'll drive by next time I am in St. A. We live in Beauclerc. Beauclerc Rd is our address, though that is from the earlier part of the house that faces it - now a MIL apartment. Our part of the house faces Beauclerc Wood Lane South. It is pretty much three miles due East of NAS Jax. We are about 1/8 mile from the junction of the St. John's River and Goodby's Creek. It is pretty much of a hike out to Singleton's from here. Have you been to Clarks Fish Camp? Most interesting. There is also a great Asian spot and crab house near here. Let me know when you will be down and we can get together. Magellans on Jax beach is also a great spot - great food and marginal [but beach front] atmosphere.

Ever been there at low tide in the summer? Refreshing! Bill, where do you live down there? My wife and I just inhereted a house in Oak Harbor (Off Mayport Road) after my father in law died 2/21 in Fleet Landing, which was our most recent trip to JAX. . (Burrial in NJ is tomorrow).We'll be down to clean/renovate/rent it out soon.. I'll let you know when we're back in town. As for Safe Harbor Seafood, It's on par, price-wise with Singleton's but Looks better; Smells better and a good place to buy fresh seafood, too. BTW, Most places down in Mayport sell Wild caught Mayport Shrimp, as well as the Farm Raised crap; Don't just assume because the shrimp boats are parked outside the fish is local. Gene's Seafood is about halfway between Atlantic and Beach on Penman Road. They've got weeknight specials. 18, (I think) shrimp plus 2 sides and hushpuppies. for something like $8.99 and others. O'Steens is a no-reservations, cash-only place, and depending on the night, be prepared to wait, sometimes up to 2 hours. It's in St. Augustine about 1/2 mile east of the Bridge of Lyons Bridge. Worth the drive down A1A from the beaches. We usially drive down, have cocktails in the parking lot while waiting for our names to be called. And 40 degrees and rain in NY makes me appreciate my trips to northeast florida even more. Which place closed due to road construction in the area? Did not see anything major last month.

Re: [MBZ] Starter system
I had a very similar problem with my 126 when I first purchased it, I was all set to replace the starter. I was able to start the car when hot by rapping the solenoid, so I'm sure there were issues there, however changing the battery resolved (overcame) the issue, at least, a fully charged fresh battery is able to overcome the weakness/wear of the starter.

Re: [MBZ] Car For Mitch Haley (190dt)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=290218117617 Just finished a lookover. Seller traded the car for some work he did on the PO's boat, and the tranny died two weeks later. He claims they got 35mpg from the one tank of fuel they ran through it. He also said it rides/drives great, at least until it stopped going forward. Tranny engages reverse quickly enough, but nothing forward. PO said that it was rebuilt a year or two ago, and the guys at the tranny shop commented they'd never seen anything like the insides of that tranny before. (in other words, they had no business getting inside a mbz box and charging money for it) Might be as simple as tightening the B2 adjustment, but I'd feel more comfortable putting a non-buggered ttanny in it. Car starts quickly, but runs very rough and smokes (looks more like diesel than water) for the better part of a minute, then settles down and runs smooth. So will need some fuel system work, maybe leaking injector or delivery valves. Black ugly stuff in the coolant, but seller says the PO put stop leak in it for a heater core issue. Is replacing the heater core as bad as doing HVAC work in a W124? A/C supposedly works. I didn't think to check for 134a conversion. Interior appears to be Tex, looks good, but some muddy dog prints in the back. No tears, but driver's seat spring busted. Fog lights better than average. Bullseye hole in the center of driver's headlamp. Multiple long cracks in windshield. Monowiper is good, works faster than most and quietly. Some rust through on passenger front door. The one door that isn't good on my 190Dt. Other doors are pretty nice. Rocker rust around back jack hole on passenger side, and some on the back wheel arches. Fenders/hood good, underhood insulation bad. I forgot to check the panels under the engine compartment. Sunroof is the popup type. Opens/closes well, neither of us knew how to activate the popup feature. Probably safer that way anyhow. Modern stereo with CD in it. Antenna said to go up/down, but not receive. The key he had in his pocket was a copy, don't know about the other one. He has the original console/climate control pushbutton panel/stereo in the garage. Pushbutton panel doesn't work, so entire used console was installed to fix it. Cruise control doesn't work. All in all, I'd say it was a $1000 car before the tranny died. I would have offered $400, but it's already at $445.

Re: [MBZ] Complete loss of vacuum, OM617
This was supposed to have the following text: This morning I worked on my vacuum problem, and got it partially resolved. The main problem seemed to be that I had used vacuum line that was just a bit too large in diameter. It was not snug enough on the plastic lines to seal properly. I found some slightly smaller tubing in one of my garage cabinets and used that, and now my engine shut-off, brake assist, and ACC are working again. My locks are still not working, there is a leak somewhere in that subsystem but that has been the case for a couple of months now and will be next on my list. Currently I have that disconnected with a golf tee in the line. By the way I noticed that there are TWO vacuum nipples on the main line to the booster, on what I assume is the check valve (see attached pic). The one with the white ring at the base (closest to the brake booster) has 0.5 stamped on the base, while the other one has 0.6 marked. On the check valve body itself are the numbers 18.09 Does it make a difference which devices are connected to which of these nipples?

Probably the orifice size in the fitting, and yes, it does matter. However, I don't know which is which, all ours are either too old or too new -- the 72 only has two lines (ACC, no door locks) and the W124 has a separate system for the ACC and tranny, only the shut-off is connected to the main line.

Re: [MBZ] Singletons.....and a picture
I need to PayPal some $$$ to one of you, have you drive to Crescent Beach (A1A in St. Aug), kidnap my parents from their condo, and feed 'em at Singleton's. ... All you will have to say is The Benz Son sent me. Or, you could say the Democrat Son sent me. Either way, I am the lone suspect. They are stuck in the Early Bird Special mindset that seems to exist with the snowbirds in Florida. For them, a night at Singleton's used to be a car payment.

Refreshing! Bill, where do you live down there? My wife and I just inhereted a house in Oak Harbor (Off Mayport Road) after my father in law died 2/21 in Fleet Landing, which was our most recent trip to JAX. . (Burrial in NJ is tomorrow).We'll be down to clean/renovate/rent it out soon.. I'll let you know when we're back in town. As for Safe Harbor Seafood, It's on par, price-wise with Singleton's but Looks better; Smells better and a good place to buy fresh seafood, too. BTW, Most places down in Mayport sell Wild caught Mayport Shrimp, as well as the Farm Raised crap; Don't just assume because the shrimp boats are parked outside the fish is local. Gene's Seafood is about halfway between Atlantic and Beach on Penman Road. They've got weeknight specials. 18, (I think) shrimp plus 2 sides and hushpuppies. for something like $8.99 and others. O'Steens is a no-reservations, cash-only place, and depending on the night, be prepared to wait, sometimes up to 2 hours. It's in St. Augustine about 1/2 mile east of the Bridge of Lyons Bridge. Worth the drive down A1A from the beaches. We usially drive down, have cocktails in the parking lot while waiting for our names to be called. And 40 degrees and rain in NY makes me appreciate my trips to northeast florida even more. Which place closed due to road construction in the area? Did not see anything major last month.

Re: [MBZ] bundt wheel widths
Give me a VIN and I can tell you what was supplied From my research while getting the correct wheels for my former 250LWB (123 chassis) there were several widths of the 14 bundt, and only one width for the 15 bundt, which was the correct wheel diameter from the factory for this car. It had a set of steel wheels that were the correct size - I doubt I would have found a set of 15 bundts on this side of the pond - they don't come around too often, and when they do they command some serious coin.

I just want to let everyone know, especially Scott Richey that I believe that I have finally completed my climate control! I couldn't have done it without all your help! THANKS My final problem has been that periodically the system would go into full heat! I took the incar sensor out and doused it with brake cleaner. All seems well now.. To the point I am going to replace the knee panel on the passenger side. (has been out for like 3 months) Thanks to all that have contributed. I really do appreciate it!..

Re: [MBZ] Car For Mitch Haley (190dt)
All in all, I'd say it was a $1000 car before the tranny died. I would have offered $400, but it's already at $445. Ours was $350 at auction with a bad tranny and some rust starting, plus the usual bottom-feeder neglect. We're into it for about $1000 now, needs a bit more, and the rust is starting to get aggressive.
