Re: [MBZ] W123 seat travel (or, my wife's legs have become shorter)
To really fix a MB slide rail you need to take the seat out and disassemble the rails, clean them and put some grease in there.

Re: [MBZ] Gary Hurst RIP
Well I think he is a loose cannon that abuses people if they don't agree with what he says. Then turns around and tries to be the worlds best car parts salesman. And I don't think personal abuse is tolerated anywhere on chat lists, Kaleb has been pretty patient with Mr Hurst and I would have kicked him weeks ago. In order to participate on public forums you need a degree of decorum and some people don't have it. Sorry, my vote is to ban Mr Hurst, some of the things he said to people where not good. Rusty comes close as well for not putting a dead stop to it, in the beginning. Hendrik who is opinionated as usual Jaime Kopchinski wrote: Kaleb, are you referring to the BANNED list? Is that the list the Gary had outbursts on? The list the "eats its young". The list which you yourself warn possible subscribers "if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen"? The list where it has been known for years already that nothing should be taken seriously? The list where people frequently mention the use of their delete key when they see something they don't like, and just move on?

Re: [MBZ] O/T Knives
I have a really nice single blade folding pocket knife, hand made in Hungary in the late 90's. Absolutely a work of art; brass, hardwood handle, highly polished blade. Wicked sharp. It stays on the shelf at home, while I carry a tiny swiss army model with scissors, phillips and flat screw driver. Swiss army is boring, mass produced, but gets many jobs done.

Re: [MBZ] O/T Knives
I normally carry one of the small Swiss Army knives, I prefer a Wenger to Victorinox, I think they stay sharper a bit longer (both are technically "Swiss Army" knives even though the Wenger is German.) I like the Swiss because of the scissors. They don't stay sharp good though. I finally got a ceramic sharpener thats super easy to use. About once a week I give it a couple quick swipes and we're good. For Christmas my wife got me a Browning model 561 which is a single blade folder I'm quite pleased with. Its got a removable belt thing, is lockblade (why oh why aren't Swiss knives lock blade?) and has tabs to be one hand opening. Its finished in a dull gray which is quite pleasing. I've also got a Buck Metro LED which is a really nice blade in a slightly annoying body. Super sharp and easy to keep sharp too. That knife lives in my snowmobile coat, its easy to handle with gloves on. -Curt Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 07:43:26 -0800 From: Jim Cathey To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] O/T Knives Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed ___ 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
[MBZ] Back home
Came home yesterday, slept for 12 hours, it felt so good to be in my own bed. Stopped at the pharmacy on the way home, I'm on a surprisingly small number of drugs all things considered, I already was on a blood pressure med (HCTZ for those playing at home, only 25mg) to which we add a cholesterol med (Ziocor) and a blood thinner (I forget the name, like Plavix but newer) and nitro just in case I have pains again. The blood thinner is apparently quite an expensive drug but for reasons I don't really understand the first year is free. After the first year I'm going to be in a study testing how long folks should be on blood thinners after stents are put in and again the drug (or placebo) will be free. The pharmacy tech is a nursing student and was AMAZED when I told her I'd had heart surgery yesterday. "You must have been in the hospital a week!" It blew her mind (still impresses me too) that I went in on Wednesday and walked out on Thursday... To my wife's irritation I walked from the hospital to the parking lot across the street. My boss asked me yesterday if I feel better, the answer is no but then again I didn't feel bad before.

Re: [MBZ] worst of its over
Next up on the home surgery network... I question big healthcare all the time and I'm certainly no friend of big pharma. That said I had bad blockages in 2 arteries, I saw them with my own eyes and I saw the blockages go away after the stents were put in. They would have stopped if I'd wanted them to and I could have come home yesterday but if I had I'd probably die within 5 years. Death is inevitable and I realize that none of us get out of here alive but at 33 I'm willing to try to put it off for a little while anyway. -Curt Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:05:07 -0600 From: "R A Bennell" To: "Mercedes Discussion List" Subject: Re: [MBZ] worst of its over Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I don't know - DIY seems a bit iffy on things like this.

Re: [MBZ] O/T Knives
For $5 the miniCrock sticks are tough to beat. http://www.lanskysharpeners.com/LCKEY.php The trick is to keep the knife straight up and down... They won't put an edge on something thats totally dull but will renew something thats just off of sharp. Mine have a lot of miles on them and work great. Now that I think of it getting the tip sharp can be a challenge. The way knives bounce around in my pocket the tips go dull long before the rest of the knife. I've had to use a whetstone to put an edge on the tip (easy) and then sharpen the rest of the knife with the sticks. -Curt Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:29:15 -0800 From: Alex Chamberlain To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] O/T Knives Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 7:43 AM, Jim Cathey wrote: > ?(I can't sharpen anything worth beans.) > Get one of these: http://www.garrettwade.com/solid-carbide-sharpeners/p/63C01.01/ Doesn't put quite as nice an edge on a knife as the old-fashioned technique with a flat whetstone, but it is idiotproof.

Re: [MBZ] Back home
When I had my 1st angioplasty 20 years ago, the kept me in hospital for 3 day.
I threatened to sign my self out AMA, they released me and I drove my motorhome
over about 400 miles on the worst roads in the country {D.C. to almost Boston}
No real reason for you to 'feel better'. As I understand it, all you had was
mild angina, WHICH SHOULD GO AWAY.
I've used Plavik for as long as it's been out. It's a little spendy at
$400+/month. It dramatically reduces the viscosity of your blood. Very small
nicks will bleed for a long time.

20 years ago Back in the day; The standard of care was as follows: You have chest pain, you don't die. You go to E.R., you don't die in 2 hours You are transferred to ICU, learned men come in and consult. Bitchy nurses make you use a bed pan. You don't die 3 days later they perform an angioplasty, you don't die. Today, if you have sudden onset of angina, plan on have a cardiac procedure THAT DAY. Why?

Re: [MBZ] O/T Knives
I'd love to have a short machete type knife. A friend picked one up at a garage sale for a couple of dollars that is really solid. We did a group bbq at a park and he was using it to split small wood for the fire. Worked better than a hatchet. I believe the blade was somewhere between a foot and 18 inches long and the back of the blade was somewhere in the 1/8 to 1/4 inch range. So quite solid.

Sure, but you damage the heart muscle and that never recovers. You're more likely to have another heart attack too.

I cannot get both in without trying what I believe would be excessive force. Then something's wrong. But you know that already. I've tried it with each going in first but those spring clips between them are not giving way. The radio goes in first. The spring clips detent into the matching holes in the factory Becker. Then the ashtray slips in, since the clips are totally out of the way. The clips are only for the radio. If the radio won't go in all the way, likely it is cabling bunched up at the back. If need be, the clips snap out. That's what you have to do with a non-Becker that doesn't have the detent holes.

Re: [MBZ] O/T Knives
I bought a whole box of confiscated stuff from the security room of a big mall store that was closing, it had all kinds of very nice stuff in it, including some brand new shoplifted Henckel kitchen knives, brass knucks, switchblades, butterflies, dope pipes, and other nasty stuff. I think I offered the auction guy $10 for it, it was below his area of concern and I'm sure the tenner went in his pocket. I got a nice 220V air compressor, a cabinet full of car audio installation stuff, and a couple of random mystery (but I peeked) boxes that turned out to have some very nice nearly new Milwaukee pro power tools and other good stuff, tools and such. All for $500, helluva deal, stuff they really did not want to deal with as they were selling all the fixtures and shelves and whatnot. I still have a bunch of those knives and such in a box somewhere, but have used some of the good ones, including the kitchen knives. --R LWB250 wrote: The state has excess property auctions every week that are published online.

Re: [MBZ] W123 seat travel (or, my wife's legs have become shorter)
I agree with Hendrick. On my old 79 300TD the rails were hopelessly jammed with dirt and rust and mystery stuff (soda pop?). I took the seats out, removed the rails, and washed them thoroughly with soapy water and a brush. After drying I greased them and reassembled the seats. The rails still looked like crap because of surface rust but they worked like new. Do this on a warm day and use some cardboard or a rug to rest the seats on (upside down) while you disassemble the rails. Also, if you have the right size taps, chase out the threads where the seat screws to the floor to make reinstallation smoother.

Re: [MBZ] W123 seat travel (or, my wife's legs have become shorter)
Correct, and a couple of things I might add. Use neverseez on the bolts when you put the seats back in. On older cars, the seat rails had steel rollers with orings around them. These orings dry out and rot, then the seat slides a little bit and binds. If my memory is correct, the 123 and 126 also have these rollers. On one car, I took the slide apart and removed the rollers, rather than buy new slides. It is something to be aware of. I would of tried putting new orings on, but I was not sure how to position the rollers for reassembly to get full movement. The slide is still working now, without rollers. I have never had to do this to a 123 or newer. However the age of the 123 and early 126 cars is such that this may become a problem of this sort. So far, I have been able to clean and lube 123, 124 and 126 seats and put them back in. I agree with Hendrick. On my old 79 300TD the rails were hopelessly jammed with dirt and rust and mystery stuff (soda pop?). I took the seats out, removed the rails, and washed them thoroughly with soapy water and a brush.

[MBZ] Hirschmann replacement
Rcvd Hirschmann replacement antenna assembly (made in Slovenia) for my '87 124 today ($201). One in the car drains bat when sitting with key OFF. 'Disappointed with replacement; 'requires cutting plug off original wires and soldering 4 individual terminals onto the wires, leaving up/down switch on dashboard inop, which is not terribly upsetting, 'cause I never use it, anyway. Bracket for mounting bottom of assembly is different also; 'coupla plastic clips that may require drilling coupla mounting holes - not sure 'cause I didn't open their plastic bag yet. 'Gave my soldering stuff to BIL 3 or 4 years years ago when my tremor was so bad. 'Beginning to wonder if I really "need" the antenna to go up and down as bad as I thought I did. 'Just went out to car, plugged power wires into the antenna unit in the car, ran the antenna up and unplugged power, leaving the antenna up. Radio works fine with no power to the antenna retraction mechanism, of course. Purpose of the antenna, of course, is to provide proper radio reception when I want it, and it does. I may be able to stand the "trauma" and "embarrassment" of having the antenna on an MB "standing tall" when car is OFF and unoccupied. 'Think I'll try it a few days and see if I can stand it.

Re: [MBZ] Bosch Battery
I may have been the one who said that about the battery. When I got my 300SD, it had a seized climate servo and drew 400ma when parked. Left it sit a few days and it was dead. Threw in one of those 700CCA mini batteries that I had laying around, and a few months later the glow light wouldn't stay lit, it just blinked when I turned the key on. When I put in a proper, new group 49 in place of the 8 year old miniature battery, the glow lamp resumed proper function.

Re: [MBZ] Bosch Battery
More likely to be the gp relay. If the thing is held together by screws, like the factory original in my 85 300d, there is an o ring btween the housing halves. In mine, the oring had split and allowed water to seep in; the relay was mounted to the side of the engine bay just under the edge of he hood. It had about a cup of water in it and the gp light would pop on and off at random.

Re: [MBZ] Need help with ashtray/radion installation 86 SDL
Thanks Jim, I didn't have that tool so I used yours and it worked. There are no detent holes in the new radio so I removed the clips. Harry I cannot get both in without trying what I believe would be excessive force. Then something's wrong. But you know that already. I've tried it with each going in first but those spring clips between them are not giving way. The radio goes in first. The spring clips detent into the matching holes in the factory Becker. Then the ashtray slips in, since the clips are totally out of the way. The clips are only for the radio. If the radio won't go in all the way, likely it is cabling bunched up at the back. If need be, the clips snap out. That's what you have to do with a non-Becker that doesn't have the detent holes. That's what I'll probably have to do with the Becker Traffic Pro 7881 I'm trying to install in the SEL. Is there a tool that's needed?

What a chowda head. If he'd left more than 1/4" stub I'd have soldered a wire on... Anyway like you I just ran it up and left it there. Its been over a year now with no problems.
