Re: [MBZ] Question For Craig

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

the advantage the powered ones have is that they will work at any 
speed.  The Sav-A-life ones (made in Germany) need air moving at 45 MPH 
or more before they work. The powered ones are probably better for 
motorcycles.   The passive ones need 2 to work, because they generate 
sound at different frequencies, thus create a beat like a twin engine 
plane out of sync.


(are we still allowed to use the word frequencies?  Or is it supposed to 
be hurtzencies)    kilocycles and frequencies make sense.   Hertz and 
kilohertz just hurtz my mind and ears.  Everyone knows hertz rents cars, 
not cycles.

I've used passive (ram air operated) deer whistles for years. Hard to 
quantify things that don't happen but I haven't had deer problems 
while many others have. Like the powered version the whistle is 
supposed to alert deer before they get startled and bolt into the 
road. I live on a rural road in NC, by the way. I frequently see deer 
in my yard, especially after acorn fall, and have to remove dead ones 
from my road a couple times a year.

Re: [MBZ] I hate windows

[Russ Williams via Mercedes]

Max the link that was posted works.
Last night I did a Win 7 to 10 upgrade using a USB drive created with 
the M/S app.

This was the 15th I've done in the last 2 weeks.
If you run the setup from a running system it will keep all your 
programs and data in place.
If you wipe the drive and do a New install of 10 you will need the Win 7 
product key from

your system.
So far I've only had one system that the upgrade would not take. Kept 
giving me a "System

Security Issue" message.
Remember the up date will be lateral. Home to Home Pro to Pro.
Any questions send me an email.

It's unfortunate that some of you hate Windows. I've used it since it was a

Win 95 tried to be compatible with everyone. Win 98 was good. Win XP was really 
good. Rarely used Win 2000. Win 7 was extremely stable. But I like Win 10 best 
of all. I get periodic updates that load at night with no issues. I run it with 
Norton antivirus provided to me free by Comcast. Norton co-exits with Windows 
Defender both running together. I have never had a problem. I run Win 10 on two 
Dell Vostro business DTs (a 200 and 220) which I'll be converting over to Dell 
Vostro 470 business DTs. I don't expect any troubles. I don't run any odd

PS. It’s been so long since I’ve done W123 engine mounts, could someone please

the lower bolts before loosening the top bolts? Can the top bolts be taken out

I just saw it in a trucking magazine and thought someone here might be
interested, so I posted the information.

The information they present is quite convincing, though the "How It
Works" section is, in my opinion, somewhat lacking.

We don't have a deer problem here (though we might in North Carolina), so
I have not purchased one yet.

Re: [MBZ] Something for the guys who need to avoid deer

Invasive plagues?

Maybe relates to climate change, but I have noted an increase is 
nature attacking. There was a story in the paper about a deer out 
clubbing in the nightlife district a few weeks ago. Middle of 
downtown, rollicking Friday night around 1am with drunks, hookers, 
club bands causing a ruckus, and Bambi is right at home.


Last summer had a massive incursion of fluffy tail wabbits with no 
fear of humans. Middle of the day hopping slowly and munching on 
gardens. Nights were worse, with marauding packs of the beasties on 
sidewalks and streets. Beady little eyes all aglow when you hit them 
with headlights. And all manner of raised gardens enclosed in wire cages.


A few years before was the plague of snails. Non native sort. Escaped 
from chinese flower pots? I had not seen the sort in 40 years of 
playing in the gardens. Slugs abounded, but these new mollusks were 
gathered in crowds under all sorts of shaded areas. Lots of weird 
shell designs, makes you think they were following the gender confused 
vibe.


Now, I am seeing a creeping moss overtake the gardens and walk ways. 
This stuff is not the slow growth type that I would pressure wash 
every decade or so as it slowly thickened. The new stuff is fast 
growing, velvet smooth and not the emerald greens of the native type, 
but a vibrant kelly green. Comes on in mats on pavement and retaining 
walls. In two months! Very much like the plague of disposed junkies 
and other un-homed in Seattle.

Just got home with my latest addition to the fleet: the 1994 E320 wagon
that Floyd spotted on FakeBuch. The lady was asking $900, we settled at
the usual Kaleb price ($500).

The seller turned out to be the lady's Dad, title was recently issued in
his name, not sure what the story is there. Maybe Daughter was owning /
driving, and when she moved up to something newer, Dad took over?

The radiator had blown out a big chunk on one of the plastic end tanks.
Today I installed a used radiator taken from my '95 Cabriolet, filled up
the coolant and topped up the ATF and also added a quart of engine 
oil, but

it didn't need a full quart. Test drove it a bit out near Floyd's Vast
Estate (where he let me store it for a bit), found no fluid leaks and
brakes and lights that work enough to be legal, so I gently drove home.
This coming week I'll get plates on it, and then address some of the
niggling issues like central locking that doesn't stay locked, and add it
to the driving rotation. That is, until I have time for the Cabriolet
resurrection, and then swap an OM603 into this new wagon.

So I'm up to five star cars, and three of them actually move under their
own power. This new cheap wagon actually has working AC! Need to sell off
one or two now.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Smoldering iron still works

[Clay Monroe via Mercedes]

Well invested and congratulations on getting the Canon back on the road.  Keep 
and eye on the Seattle Goodwill store on the bay of fleas.  There is an awful 
lot of camera gear that shows up regularly.  The intake system for goods has 
developed specialists who will divert the quality merch from the junque that 
ends up at the stores.   Shipping to Green Acres will no doubt be much less 
than to get things to ANC.

Thanks Rick, I'll try that later and report back. I need to install a larger 
hard drive first, or at least install a second internal drive if my laptop 
allows.

Re: [MBZ] I hate windows

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Winders 7-10 is hardware specific.  You'd need a drive from a computer 
with the exact same components.  Then it might let you use it with the 
mac address on your MB or enet card.


If you buy the HD with winders installed, but not configured, it will 
work on any compatible hardware, but will want a valid license and 
activation.


NO free lunch AFIK.   Maybe if they release a winders 2020 or 11 or 
winders KP or such, they will allow a "free upgrade" period as they did 
with 10.


It may be simpler to buy a $100 or $200 used box with winders 10 
installed and a valid license.


For situations other than Randy's where a 3rd party vendor is demanding 
lose10, you can keep running XP or 7 but the winders defender will die, 
so in that case I get avast or similar.


Right now, the installed base of xp is so small that I doubt hackers 
will attack it.  Some generic hacks and viruses will still work, so you 
need AV for that.

You can find people who sell a hard drive with Win10 preloaded on eBay 
for not too much money. Check their reviews as sometimes Win10 is 
loaded but the license number is not valid. It will work, but 
constantly remind you to activate Windows. Or you might try some of 
the parts sellers on eBay and email them about a drive with Win10 
loaded and activated.

Which may break drivers for hardware you depend on. They get to do that without 
even telling you...
Also without telling you they'll replace manufacturer specific drivers with 
generic versions that don't work.
I'm pretty salty about "automatic driver updates", it's pretty hard on my 
customers.

[MBZ] Cheap Wagon

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Just got home with my latest addition to the fleet: the 1994 E320 wagon
that Floyd spotted on FakeBuch.  The lady was asking $900, we settled at
the usual Kaleb price ($500).

The seller turned out to be the lady's Dad, title was recently issued in
his name, not sure what the story is there.  Maybe Daughter was owning /
driving, and when she moved up to something newer, Dad took over?

The radiator had blown out a big chunk on one of the plastic end tanks.
Today I installed a used radiator taken from my '95 Cabriolet, filled up
the coolant and topped up the ATF and also added a quart of engine oil, but
it didn't need a full quart.  Test drove it a bit out near Floyd's Vast
Estate (where he let me store it for a bit), found no fluid leaks and
brakes and lights that work enough to be legal, so I gently drove home.
This coming week I'll get plates on it, and then address some of the
niggling issues like central locking that doesn't stay locked, and add it
to the driving rotation.  That is, until I have time for the Cabriolet
resurrection, and then swap an OM603 into this new wagon.

So I'm up to five star cars, and three of them actually move under their
own power.  This new cheap wagon actually has working AC!  Need to sell off
one or two now.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Smoldering iron still works

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

It's coming to him with a basic crap 80-200 lens on it, with the expectation
that he can/would borrow the better glass at need.  (Such as the favored
magic drain pipe 80-200/2.8, or the 300/4, the 400/5.6, the 600/8 cat,
the 20-35/2.8, 15/2.8, either of the 50mm or 100mm macros, etc.)

And if he really doesn't want it, I will adopt it in place of the 
same-resolution
Rebel that I use for a backup, which I never much cared for.  I figured
it was a no-lose situation.

Other than my $1 and the time I spent on it, in the worst case.

It's unfortunate that some of you hate Windows. I've used it since it was a

Win 95 tried to be compatible with everyone. Win 98 was good. Win XP was really

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: ***SPAM*** RE: Something for the guys who need to avoid deer

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

No cougar sightings here but there's a wily wabbit who stalks me from my
backyard pepper patch. He lives under the deck. Yet to attack but I feel
vulnerable nonetheless.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Smoldering iron still works

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Waytago!    Strong work, if fiddly.    THanks for the report.


Jim Cathey via Mercedes 
December 14, 2019 at 8:42 AM
In my travels and travails I somehow managed to end up with
a Canon 10D camera that I purchased for $1. Non-functional,
of course. For an auxiliary Christmas present for my son, I decided
to see if I could fix it. He has a nice phone camera, but those cameras
are decidedly limited on the long end, and the 10D can take all the
glass our family already has.

Canon's cameras seem to be plagued with blown fuses, which are NOT
easy to replace. An older 6MP camera is not worth the price of repair,
but it's built very nicely as befits its original $2000 price tag. 
This camera
has a reputation for taking nice pictures, within the limits of its 
resolution
of course. It's basically the nice version of the Rebel I have for a 
backup.


Anyway, I decided that risking $1 in ham-handed home surgery was not
a bad thing to do. Out came the screwdriver and the smoldering iron,
and in I went.

A couple of hours later the kitchen table was covered with screws and bits
of disassembled camera. The fuse is on the DC/DC board, which is deep
under the shutter button. You have to desolder some flex circuits in order
to remove it, once you can reach it.

With it out, and its RFI shields unsoldered and removed, I could see that
F101 was open-circuit, as expected. I bridged it with solder. ($1, 
remember?)


Reversing the process to assemble was harder, and slower, duh. I'm not 
sure
all the screws went back in their exact places, but nothing seemed too 
out of

whack. I might have been one short, I can't remember exactly. ($1!)

Anyway, with it all together I put on the battery grip (the actual 
first thrift-shop

purchase, and what sucked me into this whole mess in the first place) and
installed a CF card and a battery from my Rebel, and it worked!

Of course, now it needs a basic lens to live on it, and batteries and 
a charger,
and... I think I'll be in it about $100 by the time I'm done. Single 
biggest
expenditure is the lens, but it also will work on any of the other 
cameras.

This rig is aimed at taking the telephoto shots that a camera phone simply
cannot do.

[MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: ***SPAM*** RE: Something for the guys who need to avoid deer

[Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes]

I have read reports claiming that cougars can avoid leaving prints or otherwise 
somehow are particularly hard to track. I have not had contact with any, so 
have no such personal experience, but I do not underestimate the intelligence 
of wild critters. We do have frequent credible sightings of cougar in my 
neighborhood.

I know this woman who lived in Colorado for some years. She was out with her

the mail. When they came back they saw cougar paw prints right in their boot 
prints, it was following and stalking them and was not too far behind. It was

Re: [MBZ] I hate windows

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

> I've got to move to Win 10 soon, where can I get it free or cheap?

Do like I did and join a company where it is provided for you?

I don't much like it, it's weird, but so far it's been stable.  For work I use
W10 and Ubuntu.  Primarily both are hosted under VMWare on my Mac,
which is running High Sierra.  My other machine, this one, is running
El Capitan.  All physical machines are gated through a 4-port KVM to
my 30" monitor.

Regardless of environment, the biggest part of my working day is spent
using emacs and a shell.

Me too. Colleague at work did the free upgrade, then swapped in a new hard 
drive and reinstalled 7, and went back and forth until he was happy with 10. I 
didn't have time to mess with that.

Re: [MBZ] Best source for new alternator?

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Last year I put a Remy (formerly part of GM-Delco-Remy) in the ML.
Lifetime warranty, and the pictures at Rockauto said Made in UK and Bosch on 
the regulator.
 
I got a Made in China with no Bosch markings on it, in a nice Remy box.
But the price was right, and it's working fine so far, and there's that 
"lifetime warranty".
And the price after 5% rock coupon was far less than the price after 30% 
AdvanceAuto coupon.

This year I bought a Continental belt tensioner. (the old one felt fine when I 
replaced the alternator, but the bearing seized and the pulley exploded last 
winter)
Came in a plain white box that said Made in China.
It also is "good so far", but that's just 2 tanks of gas.

Re: [MBZ] I hate windows

[ROGER HALE via Mercedes]

It's unfortunate that some of you hate Windows.  I've used it since it was a 
separate app that ran on DOS.  Win 3.1 was deviled by uncontrolled DLL files.  
Win 95 tried to be compatible with everyone.  Win 98 was good.  Win XP was 
really good.  Rarely used Win 2000.  Win 7 was extremely stable.  But I like 
Win 10 best of all.  I get periodic updates that load at night with no issues.  
I run it with Norton antivirus provided to me free by Comcast.  Norton co-exits 
with Windows Defender both running together.  I have never had a problem.  I 
run Win 10 on two Dell Vostro business DTs (a 200 and 220) which I'll be 
converting over to Dell Vostro 470 business DTs.  I don't expect any troubles.  
I don't run any odd software apps so I don't have problems.  Get back to the 
basics and life is simpler.

[MBZ] Best source for new alternator?

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

I need a new electron generator for the 1995 E300.

Conveniently, it failed such that I was in my driveway when the car wouldn't 
start, after the long trip the week before.

I guess I'll start with Rock Auto, then ???

Anyone have a coupon code for FLAPS?

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: Something for the guys who need to avoid deer

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

I know this woman who lived in Colorado for some years. She was out with her 
daughter walking the dog in the snow, to go down the road a mile or so to get 
the mail. When they came back they saw cougar paw prints right in their boot 
prints, it was following and stalking them and was not too far behind. It was 
using their prints for “cover.” They could see where it broke off to get off 
the road. After that she always carried a weapon whenever they were out like 
that.
