wtb: Cloaking device + accessories for W123 - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I let the car warm up a little and went in to finish my second cup of coffee.

The dilithium crystals were probably a little loose in their mounts causing shocks and voltage surges which disrupted the flux capacitor. The inevitable happened: the main amp on the cloaking device blew, and because I was not there to cut power, the heat build-up hit the auxiliary amp circuit too.

So if you have any of the parts and/or a car with a complete set-up to sell as parts, let me know .

Thanks!

Yes I stumbled on a long lost stash of the items you seek-They were bound for a fancy pants Nor Cal AMG collector but ended up in a Tex mini warehouse--I ended up witht them

I have a 1984 300D parts car missing front seats, a few other items, and rear wheels (can add these back for your towing pleasure). Odometer says 144K miles.

Asking $700 for the parts car.

Please arrive with pickup truck (and trailer). I'll load the palletized "other item" in your pickup truck. Then I'll load the parts car onto your trailer. If you want to tow, the parts car, will help you hook it up to your pickup truck.

Thanks!

Just curious: is the cloaking device Bosch, Romulan or Kardassian?

Aquaticedge · #5 08-31-2010, 07:06 PM

and here I thought such devices were outlawed in the federation.

In order to make this repair with 20th century technology you will need to collect the radiation of a Nuclear Wessel.

ok, you obviously have the outdated model with the non reconstituting matrix of dilithium and should have gotten the recall notice. Diamler sent out the matrix notice, and it was posted in the local planning department in alpha centauri... it's not their fault if you take no initiative and fail to travel the measly 4 light years to the local display...

Aquaticedge · #9 08-31-2010, 09:18 PM

you may be able to get the repair down at the Utopia Planitia yards if your lucky and there's little back log

Ps. I love this thread.

Is Diamler (see text) related to D A I M L E R?

Because I don't want one of them cheap Tralfamadorian knock-offs.

True, but vere can I find such a wessel?

Please, step aside newbs...

A cloak is created in a vessel by pushing it slightly out of phase with normal space. After the Romulan War one of the conditions under cessation of hostilities was the Federation could not use cloaking technology on their vessels. The neutral zone was also created.

A loose dilithium crystal, if that's even possible, wouldn't be causing any power surges; quite the opposite actually. Most likely there was an overload in the EPS system somewhere that caused a cascade failure. Usually an external force, such as weapons fire, would cause this. Major safeguards would have to be bypassed for the EPS system to allow itself to be overloaded. Perhaps a saboteur is in your midst? The Tal Shiar and Obsidian Order are pretty good at making things look like accidents.

Another major fail is introducing any Doc Brown technology to a federation starship in the first place. You cannot expect a device designed to time travel to manage something as delicate as a cloak on a starship. A second year cadet with a passing grade in Quantum mechanics could understand this.

Thankfully enough of these classes of starships are being decommissioned that replacement parts should be easily salvageable.

Not as easy as you think, since the post 1975 but pre-1983 models have a modified Newman circuit. Even with the appropriate calibration using the latest release ZPM, there still is the prospect of nartab-equalization. And I'd rather park it than be stuck out there somewhere at 10-18 parsecs.

Even 1-800-4 MERCEDES only drives out so far.

Yuck. Stargate, and jibberish.

When I have cloaking device problems, I just leave the car for a couple of light years & ride my Mega Cycle. Much to the displeasure of the neighbors when I blow the doors of their supernova, they only have a Nitrogen Cycle and little capacitance for fixing cataclysmic events. There is an indi called Kelvin Density who is able to do the work but he charges many Joules and come 5.30 he & his staff argon. This should not be a problem as it only takes a dipole moment to complete. The dilithium has been replaced with iridium and so not a problem, though it does glow in the dark!! The local police chief Shaun OBr- ion secretary Molly Cule explains that this could result in a fine of 75 Amperes of Joules. This fix may only work south of the equator though as vortexes anticyclone here.

Foot note;
It helps if you have a good knowledge of Chemistry!!
