Re: [MBZ] Snooks house now microwaves
Our DualWave has a spinning antenna that's mounted in the top of the cooking cavity (takes up an inch or so of verticle height) to get rid of the standing wave issue, and it throws from under the plate/mug/dish as well as the side. Very even cooking, even big dishes like a lasagna reheat. It also allows for the shelf to be installed for those big reheat jobs that need more space ;) And to be honest, do you EVER need that 1" of space at the top? (Turntable takes up about that much as well, hmmm...) It's much nicer to not have to manualy turn your corning ware square dish 4 times in a little crappy microwave with it's evil turntable that gets it stuck, then makes crk crk crek noises Walt, who had to deal with one such evil microwave for a month and a half waiting for a replacement transformer for the old one...

Re: [MBZ] W123 door check strap rebuild
Jim, I recall you have rebuilt the door check assemblies. I got one apart just fine but am not having much success getting the spring compressed with the steel balls on the ends and slide back into the track. That's hard to do. I seem to recall I've done a couple of things. Once I used a pipe clamp (woodworking) to compress the balls, then drove the strap out of the clamp's jaws and into the slider. (I think you have to bend the stop out of the way first.) I seem to recall that I've also slipped them in the track sideways, then drove the one side down with a drift and a hammer, with the strap's body held in a vise, thus compressing the balls into the spring. Do this stuff in a small, clean room! That way you can find the BB's again when they launch! -- 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] Snooks house now RF and nuke stuff
So on some fairly unrelated tangent, I once got to tour the VLF facility
that is out in the middle of BF Nebraska. The antenna is like a mile
high, and it was down for maintenance, so we got to go down into the
room in the base where all the RF energy is created, or something (I
have no clue as to how antennas and radios work to take some electricity
or a signal or whatever and turn it into radio waves). This room was
about 20ft on a side (cubic) and was all lined with copper, and had some
really weird cool looking things with very thick wires and other copper
tubes (really big tubes) and such sprouting here and there. It was
pretty awesome, much better than an old Frankenstein movie. I am
guessing you would not want to be in there when it was operating. I
think it pumped out about 42 gazillion gigawatts.
Then we went back to Offutt AFB and got a tour of a Looking Glass
airplane, complete with a practice launch authorization with the keys
and everything, and talked to the general orbiting the pole (in another
Looking Glass plane) waiting to nuke the rooshans, and got a tour (then
sorta let go to wander around on our own) of the NEACP ("kneecap")
airplane, the National Emergency Airborne Command Post 747, which was
pretty awesome too, once we got past the guys with live automatic
weapons who had them pointed in our general direction the whole time.
Then we got an armageddon demo in the SAC bunker, which still
occasionally gives me a nightmare. That night I got really drunk.
I don't remember exactly what the point of the visits was, it had
something to do with some project I was peripherally involved in, I
think. Whatever, it was pretty cool and scary.

Re: [MBZ] Snooks house
It would be more correct to say that water (in things) tends to absorb rf energy I'm the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz frequency range, thereby increasing the average entropy of the water and what it is in. You need a decent size rf energy supply to really practically use this effect, so a few -17dBm sources in a wide open space aren't going to do too much... -- John W Reames jwrea...@comcast.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 On May 29, 2010, at 12:53, Craig McCluskey wrote: On Sat, 29 May 2010 10:10:56 -0400 John Reames wrote: But then maybe the designers do not realize that most wireless networking is done in the 2.4GHz range, which is approximately the resonant frequency of water...

Re: [MBZ] OT: Microwaves
Long live the RADAR range! So far, so good! A guy I used to work with had an original Amana Radarange, the first one to come out. Thing was about the size of a steamer trunk, weighed about 150lb, and he said it worked like a charm many years on. That's what ours is. Second version though, it has a glass touch panel instead of a twist knob. Still working well, though I've had to so some resoldering and replace an electrolytic capacitor or two in the electronic timer. Built like a brick -house, extremely durable construction. I'm impressed with it, it's the W115/B52 of microwaves. The glass tray spontaneously cracked in half. We heard it, the microwave wasn't even being used. Loud. I used Shoe Goo to glue it back together. Still holding.

Re: [MBZ] W123 Vacuum Pump Rebuild Fixture
Take 2 little squares or something similar of 1/2" plywood (or a piece that is 1" thick or so), put them under the spring thing,with the whole deal sitting on a piece of plywood or workbench or whatever and the blocks under, then take 2 or 3 drywall screws and screw the whole assembly down onto the bottom piece of wood to compress the spring, do your assembly, then slowly unscrew the drywall screws. Yer good ta go, Bob's yer uncle. Also, when you put the center allen screw into the drive shaft to hold the diaphragm in place, MAKE SURE YOU USE LOCTITE on the screw. How do I know this you ask? After rebuilding Brunnhilde's vac pump a couple of times, and losing vacuum yet again, and rebuilding it again, still no vac, I was perplexed. Spent days, weeks, months, trying to troubleshoot the vac system. Replaced the brake booster (one had actually failed a couple of years ago, I thought maybe the used one had crapped out, again), a PITA job, to no avail. Car sits. Car sits... One night, middle of night I wake up, and in my addled brain is a clear picture of the vac pump housing cover with a nice little hole right in the middle. I had been fooling with this thing untold times, and it never registered that the hole in the middle was not supposed to be there (and that was where the vacuum was going!) as I did not remember well enough from before, did not look at my old pictures, or just never thought of it, or whatever. I found one at the junkyard, put it on, instant vacuum. The screw had backed out enough, hammered that little hole in there over time, and vac-be-gone! I am really fast now at R&Ring vac pumps. It helps to remove the power steering pump and move it out of the way. Takes less time to do that than trying to get the vac pump off/on with it there, and less contortion and cussing.

Re: [MBZ] Hunting 124 update
Looking at the FSM CD, though they tell you to use a spring compressor, they also hint that you might be able to change them without it. "*The shock absorber struts serve simultaneously as the rebound stop for the front wheels. For this reason loosen shock absorber strut suspension only when the vehicle is standing on the wheels, the wishbone is supported or the spring compressor with tensioning plates is installed."* That's not a hint, that's a clear choice. They did say OR, after all. In fact the compressor is listed as the _last_ choice! Anyway, I did mine (201) with just a jack and jack stands. Easy. And I _do_ have the proper Klann spring compressor, but I've never yet had to use it. -- 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] 83 240D Manual shifting problems almost leaves me stranded
Rebuilding these older W123 vacuum pumps is a walk in the park. I've done this job twice, once on a '79 300TD, once on an '80 240D. BTW, there is no piston, it is a diaphragm style pump. The usual failure is a torn diaphragm. The parts are dirt cheap. The only tricky part is keeping the return spring compressed during assembly. If you want to see my setup for doing that without building a jig, email me for a pic.

The master cylinder did not lose fluid that I could tell, and the mechanic that did the safety inspection did not catch it. When I pulled off the master cylinder, brake fluid ran out of the booster. it must have had fluid up to the middle of it's mounting hole... About 10k miles later the vacuum pump failed (the PO indicated that it was the second pump that he put on it). When I put a new pump on it, many vacuum issues sorted themselves out; the old pump bad been weak for some time. Speaking of which, I have the old pump still, I would expect that with new valves (including the one in the fitting) and maybe resealing the piston, that it would be servicable. I'll check it out, and if the arm and bearing look ok then I might rebuild it... Pull the master cylinder. Look in the brake booster. It can and will fill with brake fluid which can be sucked through the vacuum pump, where it has a jolly good time softening the seals and check valves during its brief stop on the way to mingle with your engine oil... -- John W Reames jwrea...@comcast.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 On May 28, 2010, at 12:44, Zoltan Finks wrote: > Okay, I must admit I have been humbled on both the mechanical and > driving > fronts.

They jiggle water, but the frequency was chosen for other considerations (you can't generate significant energy at one of water's resonance frequency, for one, and coordination of transmitting frequencies by the FCC, for another). The absorption of energy from a microwave oven is because the resonances of water (and all other molecules, for that matter) aren't infinitely, or even highly, sharp responses (unlike radio/TV/cell phone/.../... receivers). The response curve has non-zero response tails very far away from the actual resonance. Since water has many resonance frequencies, there are many response tails that are excited no matter what frequency you use. The cumulative, small absorption from many of them is what makes microwave heating work.

Re: [MBZ] Snooks house
Oh that is joyful! Speaking of libraries, I LOVE it when a library is designed with a wireless network, and said network is to be installed PRIOR to the installation and loading of the bookshelves. That's as much fun as when a library with wireless networking has a redesign of the shelf layouts without considering the wireless ramifications... But then maybe the designers do not realize that most wireless networking is done in the 2.4GHz range, which is approximately the resonant frequency of water... -- John W Reames jwrea...@comcast.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 On May 28, 2010, at 15:19, "R A Bennell" wrote: The library where my wife works is sinking into the ground.

We are working on a case right now where the engineers and the architects both had their heads up their respective asses. The City of Wichita passed a bond to rebuild/renovate some schools. One of the schools was built in 1928. The architect drew up plans to expand the school and add a whole other wing. In order to level the floors when the new wing was added to the old, they had to build up the concrete floor almost 8 inches. Rather than using foam or some other lighter method, they poured 8 inches of concrete on three levels/floors. As you might imagine three levels of 8 inches of concrete weighs a lot. A few years later, the elementary school starting collapsing. Luckily, the kids were moved out of the old portion of the school before one of the first floor walls collapsed into a classroom. The project had contractors, architects, a team of engineers, and other experts and no one thought this was a bad idea. Donald H.

John Reames wrote: Lower pitch roofs can leak when wind blows water up under the shingles... For a loose roof like slate, 4/12 is the absolute minimum, but having experienced a 4/12 slate roof, I wouldn't touch one that was less than 6/12. Shakes would be much the same. The slate went away when a new roof was estimated at less than 75% of that years maintenance. The new roof was specced to be 40 yr architectural shingles over 30lb felt (I originally wanted 50lb base sheet) with a minimum of 3 ft of ice and water shield around the edge. Btw, many architectural shingles are metric; they fall out on meter or third meter spacings. I think steel is the way to go now. It sheds snow better than most other coverings too. About $1.50 a square foot for the good stuff. The shallower the incline, the less material you use, and the easier it is to work up there. Code minimum around here is 4 in 12 pitch.

At the top of the exit ramp was a broken down big truck doing a good job of clogging traffic. Being a nice guy, I pulled over in front of him and got out and ask the driver "What's the trouble?" "Clutch went out." "Do you have help on the way?", I asked. "Yes. Sent the company a message on the Qualcomm. [text-based satellite communication] But no reply yet." He went on to explain when he got to the top of the ramp, stepping on the clutch didn't do anything. Because of traffic, he had to stop and so that killed the engine. Now I had been thinking "clutch stuck disengaged" when he said the clutch went out. When I found out is was actually "clutch stuck _en_gaged I explained how he could start the truck in gear and drive to the truck stop. At least he would not be blocking traffic and he could get a bit to eat, or whatever. His face had one of those deer-caught-in-the-headlights looks. *chuckle* So I offered to do it for him. One of the newest trucks I've ever driven. The only time I've driven a Super-10 (transmission) as well - though I never got beyond 3rd gear crossing the interstate and pulling into the parking lot. -- Philip ___ 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
