Any conductive substance.  So the head of the detector only
detects when it's moving.  Iron is high resistance, so it is a
"low" reading.  Copper and silver are low resistance, so they have
a "high" reading.

VM = Virtual Machine.  Virtualbox has a free version.  VMWare has
- or had - a no cost, not free one.  

The only MSWin installs I have are on a guest.  None of my Mac
computers are running at the moment.  Oh - I think I have an iMac
CRT that has OS9 installed...

I checked that out on the 'net. It seems that Dragon Dictate is only for one OS 
of Apple Computers, but Dragon Naturally Speaking ver. 13 will work on nearly 
any computer OS.
Dragon is now owned by a different company: Nuance.
Apparently Dragon is still the major voice-o-text program available.

[MBZ] 1993 400E Stuff

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

So I’ve finished an exhaustive review with the owner of the issues/fixes this 
car needs.  I’ve created a list of the bad and the good:

The bad:

Lower engine harness needs rebuilding
ASR light is on
Hood ornament (missing)
Headlight wipers (missing?)
Hood pad (gone!)
Cowl/lower windshield seal (degraded)
Third brake light (missing?)
Driver’s seat leather (bolster worn)
Left rear quarter clear coat peeling
Rear windows non-functional (one dead, the other with a broken regulator)
Sunroof adjustment (left rear corner is low but seals)
Headliner sagging in rear
Radio volume control is intermittent
Inside rear view mirror dimming tab is broken off
Distributor insulator on right distributor is cracked/chipped

The good:

Southern car, no rust or corrosion
Body is very straight, never been wrecked or damaged
Nearly new tires
Full suspension rebuild w/shocks/struts/tie rod ends/all links and bushings (OE 
parts) last year (about 2k ago)
Upper harness replaced
Timing chain and guides replaced 15k ago
Brakes replaced (all) around 10k ago
Full documentation on repairs and maintenance from date of original 
delivery/purchase
Dealer and independent shop maintained on MB service schedule for the entire 
life of the car

None of this is significant, just a laundry list of almost all Martha sorts of 
things.  I’m sure there’s more that I’ll find once it arrives and I can give it 
a serious once-over, but all in all it’s just a lot of piddly stuff.  The bones 
sounds pretty good and the provenance is spectacular.  I saw the pile of 
paperwork that comes with the car and it’s astonishing.  They have a full set 
of paper service manuals for it as well. Dang.  I can’t wait to see the VMI on 
this car….

Let the fun begin!

Re: [MBZ] OT metal detectors

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Theres a bunch of Youtubers in Europe that look for WWII and as you say they 
find little bits of corroded metal and get all excited. Sometimes I think 
they've got to be pulling my leg, it'll be a washer or bushing or something and 
the guy is convinced its part of a Tiger tank or something.
I've only watched a couple videos, can't get that excited about it...

His name is Craig.  Great guy, sells excellent seat covers that are very 
competitively priced.  He pulls them from cars in the knackers, takes good 
leather from places like back seats, and uses that to replace the bad/worn 
panels.


I’ve gotten several sets of seat and armrest covers from him and always been 
very pleased.

Re: [MBZ] OT metal detectors

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Be careful where you scrape.  Federal lands are a no-no, especially National 
Parks. Former business buddy and long time 220D owner was a hard core Civil War 
reenactment buff that lived in MD.  He would scrape areas immediately outside 
of the parks and battlefields, especially creek and river beds/banks.  Amazing 
stuff he found, like lead shot, buttons, belt buckles, etc.

You see lots of bluehairs on the beaches around here early in the morning 
looking for lost stuff.  They have a loosely knit fraternity of sorts that will 
purposefully search for stuff people lost in an effort to find and return it.  
That’s pretty cool.

Re: [MBZ] OT metal detectors

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Welcome to geezerhood!   I've seen the geezers in FL scraping the things 
along the beach looking for dubloons or something.


I saw part of some show where yurpeens were scrounging around for 70 yr 
old wah artifacts.  Stuff I would have said was scrap at beast, they 
saiid was collectible.  Needed knowledge of stuff way beyond anything 
normal to identify junk as something that may have value to someone.



Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes 
February 3, 2018 at 5:13 PM
So my dad has been prodding me for like 2 years to get a metal 
detector. Use his money to buy me one. Birthdays, Christmases. Like 
constantly. I resisted a long time. He’s 88 and basically just watches 
tv all day. I guess he watches one of those shows or something. So I 
finally gave in to his suggestions and got one.


I was just out by the garage checking it out and in about 2 minutes 
found a screw and a hose clip/ holder buried in the sand. I was 
getting other hits on stuff I couldn’t see but I must have been moving 
it around as when I would scrape the dirt whatever it was would move 
too. Rust bits or something like that maybe. I have to learn all the 
settings and sensitivity and such.


Looks like it might be fun. There was a Waaa battle right on/near 
my property so there might be some artifacts around. That could be fun.


Anyone else do this?

[MBZ] 124 cab

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

Just got done looking at the car. I looks a lot better than expected. It’s got 
about 120k miles. The Garnett red paint is good. The trunk repair looks good, 
can’t even tell there was damage. The seats have typical cracked leather. It 
will need the top fixed and replaced at some point as the roof is frayed pretty 
good with loose threads. The 104 engine looks very clean with no leaking oil 
out the head. He seems very interested in an even swap for the 240d.

[MBZ] Computer Question

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

Friend in Jacksonville was given the wrong medicine by his doctor, fell, and 
broke his elbow.
He can't type on the computer without extreme pain and was wondering about 
speech-to-text.

If someone on the list who can load and check out a good speech-to-text 
program, has a used laptop they would like to sell, I would be glad to pre-pay 
the price and the shipping cost to Jacksonville. That would be a lot faster 
than if I did it. If so, please email me off-line.
Thanks,

Boot between throttle body and lower intake, seals between upper and 
lower intake, injector seals.


Minor leaks result in major running issues, less so with K-jet than 
D-jet. D-Jet goes way rich with intake manifold leaks.

I found a lot of the part numbers on importec website without pictures.  
The next step is trying to identify which are actually  on the engine.  
All the topside rubber is hard as a rock.  On the other engine, many of 
the parts were replaced about 3 yrs ago, and should be ok.


As I go through number by number I can find pictures from websites.

Did you keep any records of the part numbers (invoices) or notes from 
when you did this exercise?


I need Dan or Jim to come take pictures and do a writeup while I do the 
work.

Not to worry; by Dec 76 we had PCSed to Edwards for TPS.  I recall we hung 
Christmas stockings on the moving boxes that filled that small Sharon Drive 
house.  I haven't been back since the reunion when Mike Kostelnik was

Re: [MBZ] M116 topside

[OK Don via Mercedes]

I did all that with the M117 in the SLC many years ago - lots of hard
rubber parts to replace with the two part induction system. It made the
difference between running and not running.

Re: [MBZ] Game with the unmentionable name

[as.thompson--- via Mercedes]

I spent many weeks in Alamogordo during the early ‘70s but by 1976 I had 
transferred back to Edwards AFB. Sorry to have left you there…   :-)

#4 as well.  
I think the last time I watched a Superbowl was 1976.  It was in a motel room 
in Alamogordo NM along with a NC-141 test aircrew from WPAFB who got stuck in 
"town" because the test schedule slipped.  Alamogordo wasn't much then, maybe 
now too.  I don't recall if Addison was part of that deployment.

As I said, I'm doing #4 also. The game, however, does contribute to the
living of a lot of truckers, as the attached picture shows.
