IMO you're offering a nice deal for a full-function trimix computer. You can't even get a mix fill for what you're asking! Hope it finds a good home and serves its owner as well as mine served me.

I love my UWLD primary, FWIW. My LM is also OK, but not nearly as bright as the UWLD. The DR light kept getting wounded cords on wrecks and getting flooded. I gave up having it fixed, put a different gland on it with a tougher cord, and use it now off a different battery. From a support...

I'd go with chemicals. Paint stripper, followed by a rinse and a soak in a strong lye solution seems like it should take off just about anything.

Doesn't change your buoyancy during the dive, so what's the problem? ;-)

Or do it in 10% of that time on a belt sander. Just sayin'. But generally, I have never, ever seen this happen. You can add that tot he long list of stuff I've never seen happen, but still...

Solution seeks problem. Can provide a nice storage place. Will take you out once in a while to admire you before putting you back in that dark storage place, far from harm, nice and cozy. You'll get lots of rest. Please send pictures. (Sorry. Don't know what got into me. Back into my den...

It's in the manual. You use the buttons. Tedious, but not difficult. Sounds like you solved the much harder problem--getting them!

I used to autocross and track PL510s (not to be confused with the later solid rear axle 510s). In addition to the 44PHH's, I had an SSS head, SSS cam, stiffer valve springs (redline rose to about 8K RPM), 240Z pistons, headers with a 2 1/4" exhaust into a Corvair Spyder muffler (it was...

What the heck is an oscilloscope? Oh. Yeah. Not an automotive tool., but a device for displaying voltage over time. I'll admit I don't know whether AI transmitters are RF or ultrasonic. Either way you'd need so rig some sort of receiver to see the waveform, but if they transmit...

Well, yes, all the SPL311s were ragtops. The carbs are SU clones, except their needles don't need to be painstakingly centered like the ones on the English SUs. Made by Hitachi. You're thinking of the U20 engine, not the 1600. The 1600 is pretty peppy, for its time. I thought about an L20...

I, um, own an SPL311, a 1966 1600 Roadster. It's in the shed, awaiting restoration.

I have an actual Freightliner now, a 2005 XC.

My grandfather was once a Nash (mutated into AMC) dealer and then a Datsun dealer, and I grew up around the dealership, especially the shop. (Should have paid attention to the front office but....) I still own two Nash blankets! Don't get me started on the Chrysler. It was a family gift I...

The local Honda dealer annoyed me in more ways than I thought possible. The next nearest place to get OEM parts the same day is 40+ miles away. So I bought a Toyota. The dealer's OK but, like Samsung, Toyota thinks they know what I want things to do and how they should act, and they're wrong...

OK, we seem to have lots of motorheads here. Those of you thus inclined, Google "Frankenferrari." You're welcome.

I forgot about Saabs. They lasted *forever*, even in the 80's. The first time I saw a Saab clutch I fell in love. Conversely, the first time I saw the access panel for an XKE starter I was taken completely aback. Thank goodness I never had to do one of those! I didn't work on many French...

Its called a "ballast" resistor because it adds weight to the car.

Datsun, too. Possibly Toyota as well. Been a long, long time. I had a Chrysler car at one point (possibly a Volare). It wouldn't hold a front end alignment for more than 8K miles. I carried two spare ballast resistors because one wasn't enough. It ate them with dismaying frequency. A coil...

Gee, I always thought ballast resistors were there to assure a good spark with a weak battery when cranking while keeping the coil cooling after starting. On most cars, they were bypassed while starting.

I once fell off a dive ladder. Rough seas, missed my handhold, reg was out, mask on forehead. Grabbed the necklaced reg on the way down, pushed the mask down, hit inflator about the time I hit the water. It was all reflexive recovery, but nonetheless I left the mask on and reg in after that...
