[MBZ] Easley be gone... (thankfully)
All this Easley junk has caused me to come out of lurk mode and say something. Somebody prolly thinks I am gonna defend him, but let me disappoint you I was a member of his sleazy cheat tool program. This was a well thought out plan where all the MB enthusiasts in the country sent him money so he could buy tools to work on his cars. Oh, we were told that all we had to do to use the spring compressor or the chain crimper was send him a deposit and pay the freight, and we had the said tool for a fixed period of time. It was acutally a pretty good deal, because the fixed up front charge was $67 and then all you had to do was pay postage and you had real MB tools to work with. The down side of this is when the tool program manager decided he wanted to be absolved of the issues, he simply quit communicating with the folks involved. At the time, I had the chain tool in my possession, and he had my $100 deposit. When I inquired about the return instructions ( send it back to him or send it to the next victim ) I got no answer. Multiple requests produced zip. He simply vanished as well as the tool group mailing list which was created to track the various tools and answer any issues that one might have using them. I spent weeks trying to open lines of communications, directly and thru other friends. So RE now owns a *very* nice collection of tools for MB's, as well as $100 deposit money from me, and probably other victims as well. You can judge me as stupid if you wish, it wont be the first time. Although the Bible instructs against the activity, I can hardly help but judge Mr. Easley and his actions. Say the devil made me do it if you wish, but if the self proclaimed evangelical Christian list manager thinks this is the way to promote his beliefs, he is sadly mistaken. What an ass.

[MBZ] Computer Question
Since I am out of lurk mode briefly, I have a question for the computer literate among us. OH, and I hate people who ask computer questions on MB lists, so just throw the spear, it will be graciously accepted... I have a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop, running XP pro with half a gig of ram and a 40 gig hard drive. It works flawlessly most of the time. I use it primarily for AutoCAD. When it first boots, ACAD is *painfully* slow. For the experienced cad user, it is devistating. I have already made three or four moves before the computer wakes up to the fact that I'm there. It takes forever to catch up. Looking at the task manager processes list, there is repeated many times the program svchost.exe. It's used by the LOCAL SERVICE, SYSTEM, NETWORK SERVICE, etc over and over. At this moment, there are 10 instances of this program listed in the Processes list. The users are all of the three above listed ones. When the machine is pacing very slowly, I will open the task manager and find that one of the svchost.exe users is occupying 99% of the CPU. I simply delete it, the computer goes back to being a screaming demon cad machine and all is well for the day. I notice no change in anything, no loss of any capabilities, only marked speed increase. The issue appears only on bootup. Anybody got a clue how I can elimminate whatever is causing this anmomly?? It's no issue to cure, but would be nice to not have to do. Emails off list are fine, if you don't want to clobber the normal day to day banter.

Re: [MBZ] Easley be gone... (thankfully)
them holy roller types will be the first to screw yo over. Richard Hattaway wrote: All this Easley junk has caused me to come out of lurk mode and say something. Somebody prolly thinks I am gonna defend him, but let me disappoint you I was a member of his sleazy cheat tool program. This was a well thought out plan where all the MB enthusiasts in the country sent him money so he could buy tools to work on his cars. Oh, we were told that all we had to do to use the spring compressor or the chain crimper was send him a deposit and pay the freight, and we had the said tool for a fixed period of time. It was acutally a pretty good deal, because the fixed up front charge was $67 and then all you had to do was pay postage and you had real MB tools to work with. The down side of this is when the tool program manager decided he wanted to be absolved of the issues, he simply quit communicating with the folks involved. At the time, I had the chain tool in my possession, and he had my $100 deposit. When I inquired about the return instructions ( send it back to him or send it to the next victim ) I got no answer. Multiple requests produced zip. He simply vanished as well as the tool group mailing list which was created to track the various tools and answer any issues that one might have using them. I spent weeks trying to open lines of communications, directly and thru other friends. So RE now owns a *very* nice collection of tools for MB's, as well as $100 deposit money from me, and probably other victims as well. You can judge me as stupid if you wish, it wont be the first time. Although the Bible instructs against the activity, I can hardly help but judge Mr. Easley and his actions. Say the devil made me do it if you wish, but if the self proclaimed evangelical Christian list manager thinks this is the way to promote his beliefs, he is sadly mistaken. What an ass.

Could you use some carbon paper to determine if the tapers are the same/ If you have good contact over the whole area, I'd try it (with LOTS of torque on the nut). If/when you hear that screaming/slipping pulley, you konw it didn't work, and have to get the proper pulley for the alt.

Re: [MBZ] Very, very cool. IMPRESSIVE!!!
Ed - Save your money it's been done. odometergears.com will sell you the gears for $25 a copy and less if you buy more gears. Also the stock speedo gears, if you have experienced them, are made of some really soft material so they don't make noise. The odometergears folks have a new compound that is strong but really quiet. They also have gears for Porsche and others. I guess there must be a weakness for the single blade M/B windshield wiper gearbox as they have a replacement gear for that too. Beware of odometergear.com (missing the s). A lot more expensive and not as quiet. Excellent customer support! Barry You can use the plastic part for Proofing and then use a CC Machine to produce the part Or use it to make a mold for casting the part.

Re: [MBZ] list S/N ratio
my issue is how to reduce the power without reducing the tone. in the old days, bands would demand more and more power to take their acts to bigger and bigger audiences. a lot of these amps sounded, and still sound, great, but aren't very practical for the home. that hundred watt combo amp that served pete townshend so well will shake your walls and have the police in your driveway. and it will make you deaf. so the problem is along the lines of how can we reduce that amp from 100 watts to, say, a more living room manageable 5 watts so we can overdrive those tubes just like our favorite rockers did and not suffer the consequences listed above. a quality attenuator is an quick answer, but now you've got this solid state box messing with your all tube bliss. a somewhat more time consuming method is the make changes to the tubes to bring about this radical power demise. there's a lot of help out there to do this job. i'm glad this amp is circuit boards as i'd otherwise probably have the chassis out and mess with the innards, which is never a good thing for me to be doing when i'm done, i'll take it down to the real amp guy and have him go over it and fix all my messups, where the dialog goes from that could work, i guess, but i don't know anyone who would do it that way to this is how people end up burning their house down. as an aside, there is only one full time dedicated profesional guitar tube amp guy left in the entire atlanta metro and i fear he will not be able to hold on too much longer. if anybody is interested in helping him out by buying a guitar amp made entirely by hand and by one individual, google andrews amp atlanta. only about 1500 bucks or so.
