repairflix.com W123 repairs

Got around to finally watching a CD I picked up last year and I was pleasantly surprised at how very clear he made the interior vacuum.

I was not pleasantly surprised to find they are out of business !!

Nothing on ebay nor youtube.

Anyone have any they would like to swap or ??

Isn`t the guys e-bay name SYMBOLGUY? he was around for quite a while.

I bought the vacuum video from him years ago, really solved the W123 vac mystery. He made quite a few different vids on the various systems on the W123 and I think the W126.

He had one of doing the paraelle (SP cant spell this morning) flow condensor I wanted to buy. I did buy a few of them and have them loaned out. note to self, go retrieve them.

Took about 30 min for 386meg. Both of us use a 15mips cable line.

If that is him, he has nothing for sale but Ive sent him a message.

I think the guy lives in Arizona, seems like that is where I use to send him the Postal Money orders. Think his name is Jim.

The guy should have a copy of every video he made.

No I don`t, I loaned them out. I need to retrieve them before I forget where they went.

Iam heading up to Oregon in the morning for about 12 days. when I get back I`ll get them and let you know what I have.

Give me a nudge in a couple weeks if I get side tracked and slip up on picking these up.

I had a second reply from SYMBOLGUY thru ebay. He stated he isnt selling them any more.

What we have is what is there apparently unless some pop up elsewhere.

Send another e-mail asking permission to post his videos on youtube.

If he says yes, then it is legal..
