SWMBO picked up this non-working machine last week. She sent me a picture, looked like a plastic version, which I wasn't to thrilled about. I was with Floyd at the time, he said "Get it!" so I passed that advice back to SWMBO. Tonight I finally had time to look at it. I was wrong, only the top cover and a side cover are plastic, the frame is steel. Heavy! It's also in a nice case.
The works were seized from sitting, so I applied penetrating oil and gently put pressure in the right places and over about an hour I worked it free. Works like a champ now. Model #247, I'll have to see what info I can find on Al Gore's internet. This is a very basic model, nothing fancy, uses belts for the motor and the hook. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
