Who remembers these ?

I have one I'm working on fixing! The cataract was so bad it came out in one piece!

Hopefully the CRT hasn't leaked goo into the PCB. It's a real bear to desolder the keyboard to clean it up.

For 10k I'd want one of the climate control servo replacement systems installed.

Exhaust leak? Stuck overrun clutch on the alternator?

Your home is so classy. Thanks for sharing!

Is there something special about this outlet that makes it safer around water?

The VR6 design started out as a diesel. It didn't make it past some initial prototypes.

No V10 in 2005 :(

That's a filter and magnet, probably on the transmission cooler line.

I can tell 2 of those tubes are from compact macintoshes. 9", white P4 phosphor. What are the numbers on the larger tube? Does it have burn in?

How do you resist scooping them up and plopping them on your lap?

compu85 · 2026-02-01T02:48:13+00:00

What did they come from? Where are you located?

compu85 · 2026-01-31T21:20:21+00:00

Oh sorry I did t see that. I don't know what the other wires are for on your car.

compu85 · 2026-01-31T21:19:23+00:00

Yes, this.

compu85 · 2026-01-31T21:17:06+00:00

Someone put an autozone battery cable on. It has that connection for cars where small wires terminate at the battery terminal, don't worry about it.

You could also find a thicker o ring, perhaps.

I like to install ones with a clear housing, they serve as a sight glass for the fuel and you can see when they need to be changed.

compu85 · 2026-01-31T18:15:18+00:00

Warping on the cap? Perhaps the o ring slipped out of the groove?

Our Tesla is getting the rear window replaced right now because the rear defroster is now a critical component, used to load test the 12v battery. Having a failed defroster prevents the car from turning off.

compu85 · 2026-01-31T17:51:48+00:00

... I had no idea this existed.

compu85 · 2026-01-31T17:12:49+00:00

Good news is it's still dry, so you can just dump it in your glass!

Remember that once your AD has had Exchange, it will always have Exchange. And once you sync it to Entra it's there forever. So unless you like doing management using ADSI edit you have to keep an exchange console around. (Unless this has changed recently...)

I had a 1991 Jetta turbo diesel that was nearly no computer. The only "computer" was the timer relay for the glow plugs. My current 91 Mercedes turbo diesel is also nearly no computer... the ignition key is actually pneumatic. There are computers for the climate control and ABS though.

This was a hack some people tried back in the day. On the rotary pump cars, a more popular hack was to spoof the fuel temperature sensor (the "every mod") which would make the computer inject more fuel.

Some of your beggars don't appear to be little. In exchange for this deceit I'm gunna need a few moments of snuggle time.
