Euro spec - but with DOT headlights?  interesting.

Does the Euro "T" come with the self-leveling suspension?  If so,
I wonder how that was handled during the lowering.  The "rear gas
shocks" makes me wonder.

No photos of the engine bay.

Hah!  Perfect - use only one input, but still get the mix to mono
without building any hardware.

The other though I had was to pre-treat your playlist by down
mixing to mono before loading on your player.  That only works if
you have the files ahead of time.

Some dude posted a video of him cranking on his 123 for about 60 seconds 
to start it when it was really cold outside.  People immediately start 
talking about what a dummy he is and he will burn up his battery and 
starter.  Jaime posts his wonderful info on cold starting these 
diesels.  The folks so far do not seem receptive to this advice.  There 
were a few folks who mentioned this was perfectly fine and they were 
built to do this.

I discovered that both iPod/iPad/iPhone and Android have a mono audio

Re: [MBZ] somewhat smashed 1998 Mercedes E320 - $1000

[Clay Monroe via Mercedes]

Black to me shows a lack of imagination.   Even more if the interior is black.  
Maybe the model T is good in black.  The W140 was dirt cheap with black on 
black.  The kid liked having a car.  I thought it looked a bit mobster.  The 
w220 at least had creme interior in a black car.  Pain to keep it looking clean 
outside.  Dust showed up too well.  Like having white car.

Brings up an interesting question I have thought about.

All the MBs of any recent vintage are unibody cars, no separate 
chassis.  I guess you would have to build a fairly rigid chassis with 
all the correct dimensions for power train, suspension points, etc. onto 
which you could then drop a body of a size similar to your donor 
dimensions.  That would just basically entail taking your stripped body 
and measuring all the XYZ dimensions for mounting points and 
"receivers," then reproducing that with your new chassis.  Pick 
something that has a lot of cheap availability, a 124 or 210 or 
something, as the donor vehicle.  When I see these old pontons and 
whatnot, even like these basket cases

Vintage 59' +58 Mercedes 220s Project in San Diego

https://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/cto/6805099593.html

I think about rat rods using modern Benz drivetrains and suspensions.  
You can buy all that sort of thing, chassis and other bits, for older 
merkin cars to upgrade to independent suspensions and such, any sort of 
engine you want, then drop the body on it.

The market might be kinda limited but who knows, it would be a fun project.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Bespoke cars

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Two ways of doing that:
Build your own tube chassis, and cut the floorpan off from the donor car and 
use it for the basis of your frame. The problem with the floorpan approach is 
that the structural rails on the sides put a minimum limit on the width, and 
it's probably wider than your Adenauer body or whatever you're thinking of 
using.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Bespoke cars

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Brings up an interesting question I have thought about.

All the MBs of any recent vintage are unibody cars, no separate 
chassis.  I guess you would have to build a fairly rigid chassis with 
all the correct dimensions for power train, suspension points, etc. onto 
which you could then drop a body of a size similar to your donor 
dimensions.  That would just basically entail taking your stripped body 
and measuring all the XYZ dimensions for mounting points and 
"receivers," then reproducing that with your new chassis.  Pick 
something that has a lot of cheap availability, a 124 or 210 or 
something, as the donor vehicle.  When I see these old pontons and 
whatnot, even like these basket cases


Vintage 59' +58 Mercedes 220s Project in San Diego

https://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/cto/6805099593.html

I think about rat rods using modern Benz drivetrains and suspensions.  
You can buy all that sort of thing, chassis and other bits, for older 
merkin cars to upgrade to independent suspensions and such, any sort of 
engine you want, then drop the body on it.


The market might be kinda limited but who knows, it would be a fun project.

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

>From the Samsung help forum:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/tv/thread-id/43024

My tv is a UN65JU6500 and has had the problem almost the entire year. It is set 
to auto-update and the current loaded version is 1530.

I already did a factory reset using a key combination in the remote control. 
The CBSNEWS app loaded automatically after connecting the Internet and started 
launching automatically after 1 minute when you turn it on. The only way to to 
get out it is by pressing Source and selecting TV.

--

Well, there's your problem. "after connecting the internet".
If it worked when it was new, and a software update broke it, perform a factory 
reset and don't let it connect to the internet again. That's what I did to my 
dad's Element TV when it demanded I go to the computer and register/subscribe 
to RokuTV then enter a confirmation code from the computer into the TV. If 
running a software update makes your TV lock you out until you do what it 
orders you to do, factory reset and never let it update again.

Since _December_ of last year.  So, for 13 months now.  I will look into 
installing
that app.  We have a 4 and a 3, I wasn't sure which one we'd like better so I 
bought
one of each.  (Two active TV's.)  Both models were on the market at the time.
(Hate hate hate the Siri/touch remote on the 4, we universally use the TV's own
remote instead, which works too.)

That doesn't sound good.  I'm sure there are enthusiast sites where you might 
be able
to find out what it is.  The things are matrix-scanned, so I would expect 
problems like
this due to electronics to be full-width or full-height stripes of badness.  If 
it's a tube (?)
failure, who knows.  I don't know if these panels are one volume, like a CRT, 
or are
partitioned.  If it's electronics, you could probably fix it.  If it's the 
panel...
