[MBZ] Nice weather!

Pleasant weather has returned! And the 'baby' is old enough to play mostly unregulated. So... can you all remind me what do I need to do before I start up the OM603? Assume that "connect all the stuff" is done (which it isn't yet, but closer than last week). Do I need new diesel? Turn the

Re: [MBZ] OT: vhs conversion

There is way old computer tech that would fit the mold. An ATI or other video conversion card (PCI) with the hardware could drop into a newer PC and allow you to suck VHS in and digitize it. As a digital file, you could burn it on a DVD. Get five or six movies on a DVD even at the highest

[MBZ] More Today's Fun

Decided to go after the pinstriping. Using oven cleaner, I stripped the painted pin stripe off the driver’s side of the car. Took me about an hour. One mildly unpleasant discovery - the pinstripe on the front fender had been used as a parting mark for a panel touch up or repaint. This means

Re: [MBZ] OT: vhs conversion

A couple thoughts: DVDs are SD, I don't understand why they'd want to upconvert and then write to DVD, makes no sense. Besides upconverted SD looks terrible, you can't make up data that isn't there. 720p for instance is the same frame size you'd get if you took your SD window, turned it on its

Looking for some low impact stuff to do today. I had a meter of power steering return line I wanted to get installed, as the W126’s power steering return lines were mushy and look like they have been seeping for a while. I also wanted to drain and refill the power steering system with fresh

Re: [MBZ] Nice weather!

I'm assuming you've transplanted an engine into Wilton's former SDL? This involved injection pump work? Don't worry about the fuel unless the clear filter gets clogged with black bits, which is a sign that you have water in the fuel tank and a colony of fungus / microbial growth. In that case,

Buy it, have some fun, then unload it or part it out or reuse all the interior on something or build a rat rod if the motor kakks. Or it might actually be kinda fun to fool around with. --R On 3/26/16 10:36 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes wrote: Here is the car btw

That sounds like a better solution. Fewer $$$, but I'd have to make a winder machine happy. I have a couple whiney winders 7 boxes and the rest are xp. (or server 03). I have not even cranked one up for at least 6-7 months. None will be happy. You can buy a little usb dongle for cheap to

Yeah, I had a high end A to D card in the Beige G3 for #1 son. The next year they came out with the graphite Mac and the A to D was built in. That was nice. Somewhere he may still have his commercial version of Final cut Pro. I have the graphite Mac, but it has not been fired up in

You’re out of your ever lovin’ cotton pickin’ mind. For $1500, maybe. I certainly wouldn’t go above that considering the gremlins that could be lurking in the thing. And as far as unique parts, there aren’t enough to make it worthwhile beyond that amount. Dan > On Mar 26, 2016, at 9:10 PM,

Ok so I am on a car buying trip and picked up my old SDL from curly. I stopped in little rock for the night to check out a 92 600sel. I have always wanted one as a toy. Talked to the guy yesterday for about 30 minutes about the car. He did specifically mention replacing the engine wiring

Re: [MBZ] Am I crazy?

If it runs and drives and can be licensed and you can get it for $1500 and not a penny more it might be a fun toy. Its probably worth twice that in specialty parts anyway. Drive it until something expensive breaks and part it... -Curt From: Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes
