Re: [MBZ] Pinion Nut Socket

2019-03-22 Thread Curley McLain via Mercedes
Yes.   and I know where it is.   I made it from an appropriate size deep 
impact socket by removing all the bottom .3" or so of the socket but the 
pins, in keeping with my embargo on "special tools."


It is also needed for 113/114/115, 123, and probably 108/109 and some or 
all 107 cars.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Calrod heater element

2019-03-22 Thread Curley McLain via Mercedes
I think there are only 2 companies who make 90% or more of all heating 
elements.  Calrod and Watlow.


My advice:  Look on the websites for both, armed with the thread dia and 
pitch.  (after you decide if it is metric or US)  Also get the watt 
rating off the element or from the machine nameplate.


If you can't find it on the websites, call the customer service for each 
company.  They will probably refer you to a dealer/distributor, but 
being in the chit ca go area, you are near a big one, so that is ok. 
call the dealer/distributor.


If that fails, call the dealer/distributors in lost angles and/or 
seattle.  (huge coffee markets)


Be aware, though, that is may be a contract with the mfgr of your coffee 
device in italy that prevents the elements from being sold anywhere else


You can also try the bay of fleas and the ones in yurp, such as fleabay.de

No... not CalRod, i.e. california hot rod...
Is calrod the copper tube with wire and clay inside used for heating water?
There should be independent repair places that can replace a busted element?
The busted tube here is espresso machine boiler and element has hole
in tube and clay insides are falling out of hole and measured
resistance shows open circuit, infinite.
About 8mm dia tube bent in spiral shape mounted on to screw plug.
Has anyone replaced these heater elements?  It seems there should be a
supplier for this heater element tube?  The machine is Brugnetti model
MC1 Top made in italy.

bought a Roller and named it "Mama". The idea was for it to make its keep 
delivering couples to weddings and such, he'd even bought the outfit to look 
the part of the chauffeur. I don't remember what he spent on the car, $20-$30k 
or so.

I think he did one delivery with it and the car broke down. I don't remember 
all the issues but i remember a repair bill in the $10-$15k range. Pretty quick 
my friend was totally disgusted with the car and "sold" it to his mechanic for 
something like $10k.

He owned it such a short time I never actually saw it...
