Disconnected.

Disconnected.

Already ruled out (and maybe disconnected).


It turned out to be operator error: I had turned the ignition key to the
"run" position so I could move the transmission shift lever all the way
backward for clearance when I worked on the radio and had not moved the
transmission lever all the way forward and removed the key.

Now, the test lamp glows brightly for about half a second and then goes
out. The initial surge of current is about 1/2 amp -- though I don't know
if my Fluke 77 has enough time to stabilize -- but the final current is
low and varies continuously between 12.5 and 18.1 mA. (Note: 15 mA for
30 days is 10.8 ampere-hours, so it is quite low enough to officially
say it's not a problem.)

Now I need to see if I can connect the antenna and other things without
the current drain increasing -- and then continue on to get the car on
the road!

Is there some qualification for what BaT accepts for a listing?

As I've said before, the name of the site implies they are selling
junkers. Bring a Trailer because it's not drivable, etc.

But it's actually the opposite.

If I put a old high mile unrestored car on there will they decline the
listing?

If you have a big drug or hooker habit, or gambling addiction to support, the 
way to go is BAT because it is filled with high end drug users with lots of 
money who pay way too much for cars.

Re: [MBZ] Progressive lenses.

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

In the Dec. 2013 issue of The Star (MBCA magazine) there was a writeup by a
guy who bragged on purchasing a 1984 300D for $4400 that was in Great Shape
and then turning it in to his local dealer to fix "all the little stuff".
The bill came to $4700 and BTW, he had other issues after that.  Still, he
LOVES his 123 turbodiesel sedan.

This guy was not named "Floyd".
