Re: [MBZ] top loading washer
Greetings and Salutations, All. In the mid 60's in the UK, as a present to my hardworking Mom, I bought a washing machine that heated the water, washed and spun the clothes before drying them. It was a well made Italian machine, fairly large, not working or I couldn't have afforded it, and lasted her 'til her death, about 15 years later. The machine was pre-computer-in-everything and needed the gi-normous rotary switch replaced, supplied by the sellers. My cousins scavenged everything not nailed down after the funeral, so it may still be extant somewhere in Kent! I do ramble on, don't I? Fred Moir Lynn MA Klatta on!

Re: [MBZ] OT top loading washer
But what happened to the lint? We bought a Maytag washer / dryer set in about 1981 and it took three children from birth through college. I only replaced a few minor parts. Fixed them myself. Replaced the Maytags with a new Whirlpool set about 3 or 4 years ago. (Top loader). Already replaced a water pump on the Whirlpool washer. The old Maytag had a lint filter in the middle of the agitator. That filter collected a real pile of slimy crud from each load. The new Whirlpool machine has no place to clean out collected lint.

Re: [MBZ] OT top loading washer
Ned, et al. On the Whirlpool washers that I have serviced for family members, the lint filter was moved from the RF corner to the outlet hose assy. During the wash cycle, some small rubber balls in a cone shaped holder catch the lint and on pump-out it is flushed by the water being pumped the other way. Clear as mud, I know.

Re: [MBZ] OT top loading washer
Front loaders are much gentler on the clothing, so much less lint is generated, and it tends to stay with the clothes anyway since they are not swimming about in a lake of water. We get less lint in the dryer than we used to, and essentially none in the washer waste water. I do have pipe clogging problems, but it's tree roots, not lint.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Digest, Vol 41, Issue 18
I can't believe you are obsessing on combining washers and dryers. Anyway, such a device did exist about 20 years ago. It was bigger than most washers and it was a front-loader. My recollection is that it worked poorly, both for washing and drying, but that it did work. I think that there IS a new one out, and I suspect that it too will work poorly. When I look at my GIANT HE Kenmore washer and dryer, the interior size is basically the same size and shape, so it does seem like this could be possible. but I don't think it's gonna happen... -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[MBZ] CL Benz manglers
I really like dark blue and dark green 126s, and am always kind of half-seriously looking for one for a project, so I had to respond to this ad on Portland Craigslist: http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/1098476919.html I figured if he's asking $600 and wants it gone by the weekend (in all caps, even!), I might be able to get it for next to nothing. Plus it's got Euro headlights which I could flip on eBay for $200 or so, right? This is what I got back when I emailed asking for details: altogether it in alright condition for 250k miles on it. the ign is broke but it's been that way since i bought it. the climate control is inop so the center dash is taken apart. the lower radiator support is pushed in alittle i used it to push around some stuff at my house. i haven't taken the time to pull it back out so the fan shroud is touching the crank pulley. sounds alittle rough but i'm only selling it because i don't use it anymore, too many cars *sigh* I don't think this one's worth it even for the Euros---although maybe I should be grateful to have found a seller honest enough to admit he used an S-class as a bulldozer.

On the Whirlpool washers that I have serviced for family members, the lint filter was moved from the RF corner to the outlet hose assy. During the wash cycle, some small rubber balls in a cone shaped holder catch the lint and on pump-out it is flushed by the water being pumped the other way. Clear as mud, I know.

The old Maytag had a lint filter in the middle of the agitator. That filter collected a real pile of slimy crud from each load. The new Whirlpool machine has no place to clean out collected lint.

Re: [MBZ] CL Benz manglers
Has the wife figured out the SEL? Yes and no. Daniel threw up in the Chicken Wagon today, and we needed to go to a rehearsal at church. Since the CW's carpet was drying she asked if we could take the white car. OK, sez I. (My preference would have been to hold off letting her travel in it for another week or so.) So she gets in. When did this shift knob get all messed up? I dunno, I reply. Huh. We got all the way to the church, then she noticed the center console storage tray. I don't remember this. You wouldn't, I say. Why not? I just couldn't hold off any longer. Because this _isn't_ the same car. It took a few seconds for that to sink in. I don't think she's entirely happy, imagine that. I'm sure that had I intended to I could have kept the ruse going much longer than this. But the danger is that she'd put diesel in it the first time she took it out. $6?? Why so much ;)) Because I had to buy _two_ seat belts at the U-Pull. One from a newer 190D that had the explosive tensioner, and one from an older 126 that had the right shoulder mounting bolts. :-) -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] OT: The West Wing
BTW, Jim, what's the latest with the construction project? It's painted. The stone work is done except for some mortar joints. Lights in yesterday. The wood stove was installed today. Carpet and deck railing are about all that's left. Oh, and landscape repair.

[MBZ] Rust on a 450SLC - where to look
Gang, Looking at an SLC on Saturday. Wondering where to look for rust. It is a California car, so it won't be quite as easy to find. Wondering where the hidden demons might be.

Floorboards under the carpet (leaking sunroof), Above the headlight buckets inside the front fenders - shows up as bubbles on top of the front fendersjust behind the headlights when it's bad. Bottom skirts of the read fenders behind the wheels. Rear deck at the bottom of the rear window. I'm sure there are other places, but these are ones I'm aware of. Looking at an SLC on Saturday.
