Interesting, as I had the exact same issue with the former ML500. Pedal wasn’t soft or bled down, but the travel seemed way too long, even after pressure bleeding the system when I replaced a stuck right rear caliper. It seemed like it almost went to the floor before you got any braking action.

[MBZ] OT: Nothing more expensive than a cheap...

Commodore 64. Last year I traded for a Commodore 64, I figure its time to expand my vintage computer collection. Well I didn't get around to doing anything with it until recently. I ordered an Easy Flash 3 cartridge so I could get some software onto it. Got that in, fired it up and, nothing.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Nothing more expensive than a cheap...

I sent my first computer, a TI-99/4a, to e-waste about five years ago. Had the expansion box and a dozen or so games. Could have sold it on eBay but didn't want to deal with packing and shipping it and the chance of getting scammed, so just tossed it. Allan Curt Raymond via Mercedes writes: >

Re: [MBZ] OT: Nothing more expensive than a cheap...

My dad's first computer (1981 or 1982) was a C64. I think he gave it away, but I can ask mom about it. Had the tape drive, but that might have been about the extent of the accessories. He quickly set it aside for a Tandy 1000 with hard drive and letter quality Epson printer.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Nothing more expensive than a cheap...

The C64 lived a surprisingly long life. I watched a video yesterday about a CPU upgrade that was made in '96... Tandy 1000 was apparently the rocketship for the era. I actually missed out on the early DOS machines, my Atari 130XE was long in the tooth when I got it and in school we had Macs. I

Re: [MBZ] OT: Nothing more expensive than a cheap...

Its probably worth more now than what you paid for it. Unfortunately the capacitors on those older Macs are known to fail. Standard wisdom is to recap any new-to-you machine since the caps will leak and cause damage.On the one hand its kind of rotten that it happens, on the other hand 30 years

Re: [MBZ] OT: Nothing more expensive than a cheap...

The only old computer of any interest I have is a Mac II I got from my next door neighbor when the company he worked for surplused out all the Mac equpment -- probably around 1995 or so. Got it for something like $25 -- not bad for a computer that cost $10,000 new minus monitor. Pretty spiff
