Place In Phoenix You might try going into Phoenix Lamp and Silver and seeing if they may have one or could locate one. Ask for George there. They are on Indian School, near 24th street.

Travlincub321 you have mail. I'll have to check out that route you suggested. My younger brother lives in Knoxville and I was thinking of seeing him on the way back. However will all the rain that is going on in that area, flooding and road closures that may not happen. Now in Oklahoma there is...

Google Maps Thanks for the kind responses. I've been looking over Google Maps, with their ground views. Checking out the waterways around Mobile, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida. I'm not a big fan of tall bridges, but these look okay. Of course checking the Florida weather and I see it's been...

It has been months in the planning on my end, not including the FDIC taking over the bank I work at. Not to worry, so far they still need someone to pay the bills and that's what I do, accounts payable. Got "Karen" road ready, I hope, my 1997 Mercedes C280 and at the end of October I'm driving...

Mary Jones is at it again Here's a link showing how to use an Ironrite. And yes you can iron just about anything on one. It just takes some time and practice. There is also a part two on the website. I had a wood case one and I believe it was from the 1950s. Follow Launderess' advice about...

Bye Bye Sugar... They hit the nail on the head, that singer was no Ann Margaret! It was interesting to hear Sal talk about how they did the production of it though.

Puppy Blanket And if there are no kids, these type of blankets work well for animals too. A few years ago at a company I worked at we started a quilting club and made a baby quilt. I found a bunch of fun Vegas gambling fabric and made the quilt for the Doberman here. He used to love to drag it...

Duality Accounts Scott, I'm still in banking and yes item processing has changed. Now with electronic imaging the checks can be captured at the branch or at the merchant level and then electronically transmitted for processing. Of course some encoding and sorting goes on, but not like in the...

Woolco Gawd! My first sort of "real job." I went into our local Woolco, dressed in my best black polyester doubleknit jacket with the red stitching, burgundy knit shirt and white tie to fill out an application. This was 1972. The jewelry manager saw me and noticed how well dressed I was and...

Used Appliance Store Good luck finding anything too old in here in Sin City. A few years ago a friend of mine found a nice pair of older Maytags at this place. Buy Low Appliances 5730 S Boulder Hwy Las Vegas, NV 89122 (702) 944-8885 Not sure of their current selection, and they are off...

Welcome Have a safe move up here. It is easier to cross at Laughlin than going over the dam due to construction. Drop me an email and I'll let you know about that private Mercedes garage.

$651.29 For a 1997 C280. This will be for a service for my 5 speed electronic automatic transmission. First year in 1997 for a sealed transmission. There is no dipstick to check the fluid. Mercedes thought there would be no need, however they later changed that to a service around 60K or so...

Congrats! You'll enjoy that and it sounds like a good deal as well. I listed the link to Benzworld below. Good forums for a lot of info on your vehicle, plus they have forums there for non-Stealership garages. My local MBZ dealer wanted $134.00 for an oil change. My local garage $74.00 and they...

I would take a look at local garages that specialize in repairing the vehicles that are catching your eye. My garage works on Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW, AUDI. They had a beautiful late 90s or early 2000 BMW 7 Series for around $9700.00. Many times an owner doesn't want to mess with selling their...

I finally jumped ship a few months and bought a 1997 Mercedes Benz C280. My 03 Mountaineer had been through 2, going on 3 transmissions, exploded the A/C twice and was having computer problems. Wanted to go back to my roots and get an older Caddy or Lincoln. Hmmm, all the Northstar engines in...

Sony NVU I got the Sony NVU73T on Valentine's Day. It's easy to use and set up. The wide screen is readable in sunlight. I too wanted a simple unit as well, though you can easily customize screen, voices and such and get updates from Sony. I found the woman's voice easier to listen to. Here's...

I am finally able to listen to my Pioneer Inno at work again. Was surprised to find OutQ had replaced one of my favorite channels and really enjoy Frank and Doria in the morning. Rather like Blue Collar 148, though a lot of repeats and of course the Broadway channel. Around 11 am I change over...

Speaking of Punch Cards I recall my older sister taking me here to see my first real computer. You could see the operators through the glass, wearing white coats running this huge machine. To a kid it was the future...

Worked on One Back in 1978, got a job at the Federal Reserve San Francisco. Met a guy there that was both a temp and a word processor. I asked what the heck was that. He was making $12.00 an hour compared to my $6.00 and then showed me the Displaywriter. It took a couple of years after that...

Karma and Luck The way that Karma and luck run, you will now probably find 4 more of these machines! Congrats on the wonderful find! Michael
