I think I disliked every model or mfg’er of MRL. Guess I’m just a traditionalist. Laptops, diagnostic codes…yeah that’s ok, but…Machine on beams and on the roof with accessible governors brakes and controls. Besides I’m of the opinion that the MRL concept eliminated a lot of construction hours and actually robbed mechanics of the field experience of the traditional overhead machine installation when the job spec or rise calls for it.
I like C9 Christmas bulbs too, they’re traditional. Stock exhaust on Harley Davidson and I detest taking a vintage Honda CB750 and stripping it of stock body work to rat it out or create the “cafe” look with clip ons and a Kerker four into one unbaffled exhaust. Yeah, I guess I’m old…old school.
Hey do you remember when Reliable Elev was around and on their bigger hydro they’d use the size 3 GE YD starter, and over time the silver debris from the moveable contacts would sprinkle down, build a bridge and eventually short across two AC lines on the top of the O.L. block. BAAABOOOM like a shotgun when it occurred and blow open a couple mainline fuses, and maybe trap passengers. Not sure why I thought of that.
I think U.S.’s worst control was that 2 or 3 stop Diplomat. Man those were the days.
