The tank on mine is completely intact.  Electric part of it is merely 
screwed into/onto the original opening on top and above the tank.

Re: [MBZ] OT Aladdin oil lamps

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Oh sure, take a look on Craigslist, they show up.Lots of guys put wanted ads on 
Craigslist too, my friend Tim has bought lots of stuff that way.
Coleman made table lamps too which are a good choice, they throw way more light 
than an Aladdin which throws way more light than a dead flame lamp. You've got 
to be careful with what you're using for fuel modern "kerosene" often has a low 
temp at which it'll make vapors. Heat from the burner travels into the fount 
and heats the oil there. The oil turns into vapors which pushes up around the 
wick and pretty soon you've got a geyser of flame, bad news.I use a mix of 
hardware store kerosene and lamp oil. The paraffin lamp oil has a very high 
flash point and no odor (although it smells like melted crayons when the lamp 
is snuffed out, I do that outside) but is rather expensive. The kerosene has 
kind of an objectionable smell but is way cheaper. Mixed I get the benefits of 
each.
I've got some Jet A which a lot of guys have said is okay in wick lamps but the 
wick lamp guys say its got too low a flash point. If I can ever find my IR 
thermometer again I'll test it out.

Well hold onto it or make sure whomever gets it understands the value.

I've been reading "Flotsam and Jetsam: The Collected Adventures, Opinions,
and Wisdom from a Life Spent Messing About in Boats
"
and one of the earlier chapters extols the virtues of this lamp.  I'm
interested in getting one or two for use during power outages.

Re: [MBZ] Battery prices?

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

Anybody know what a friendly/wholesale dealer would sell the usual 
Group 49 / H8 battery (9069820008) for?
Northlake wants $123 for internet customers, which implies about 
$116 for wholesale, but I have a feeling that shipping kills that 
deal.

List appears to be $165.

Mitch


They are all around $138 up plus $20 core  That includes advance with 20% off.

I got a return from interstate Dist for $80, but no warranty.  It is 
not the 900/1000 cca capacity.  Probably around 750-800 rated.   No 
good prices on grp 49 batteries.


Obummers epa has pretty much limited lead to whatever is in the 
country now.  It will only get worse for the next couple of years. 
Hopefully a new prez will turn the ship.  He has put all but 2 mfgrs 
out of business, in preparation for the intended nationalization of 
industry.

Andrew,

Thanks, but I've no idea if that has the right connector.

Fred has what I need, as usual.  Fred is always at least one step ahead of

Re: [MBZ] Battery prices?

You’ve been out of circulation.

I just posted about this about 3 weeks ago.  $167.00 is dealer list. I paid a 
little over $130.00 after Skeletor (governor) got his cut.

Anybody know what a friendly/wholesale dealer would sell the usual Group 49 / H8

Northlake wants $123 for internet customers, which implies about $116 for 
wholesale, but I have a feeling that shipping kills that deal.

Anyone know the part number for the male side that goes into a 002 545 99
26 (female contact, 2.5 mm)?  This is for the radio antenna harness
connection on The White Whale aka 124.193 aka '87 300TD.

Old antenna dead, replacing with sedan antenna but the harness connection

EPC only shows the body harness side of that connector.

Alternatively, anyone (Fred?) have a dead parts wagon or sedan that has the

Probably so. I think I will tell the guy I will bring a battery down but I 
would only be willing to pay $1500 for it and see what he says. I would be more 
willing to gamble that than $2500

[MBZ] 2.5mm male connector part number (and Happy Easter!)

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Anyone know the part number for the male side that goes into a 002 545 99
26 (female contact, 2.5 mm)?  This is for the radio antenna harness
connection on The White Whale aka 124.193 aka '87 300TD.

Old antenna dead, replacing with sedan antenna but the harness connection
is different, and some earlier idiot has cut off the old harness from the
antenna on the antenna side, so all I have is the body harness connector.

EPC only shows the body harness side of that connector.

Alternatively, anyone (Fred?) have a dead parts wagon or sedan that has the
male side of that connector?  These pins are smaller than the normal 4mm
pins used in most connectors in a 124.
