Along the lines of Steves comment "machines brought
back to life" -
It probably help if we coould somehow create (maybe
it exists) a 'quick reference guide' for the ET - similar to the sheets that
come with many new products, along with the lengthy owners manual.
Combine:
1) Pictorial quick reference
2) organized knowlege gained from the many hundreds
of years of collective experience the owners on this list have.
3) areas of concern (brakes, for
example)
4) areas of improvement - charging system &
battery maintenence
5) battery pro / on matrix sheet - wet / sealed
/gel / etc - whatever types of batteries.
etc
I know some of this is in original owners manuals,
etc. Also, on web - on that page that recently had a bit of
trouble.
I guess I am talking about a distributed group
effort where we all contribute whatever we can - as we have done so far - BUT,
it can take some time to search through thousands of email messages for clues to
solve a problem.
If we could organize all the info into a .PDF
format - printable book or guide, then it could be printed & handed to new
owners of these 'fixer uppers' that a few of us have talked about.
I think this relates also to a discussuion in the
lsat couple weeks - responses to a new owner with some concerns about
reliability, and list response to that owner with various
suggestions.
Of course, time is always a problem.
But maybe the 'open software model' - where many
contribute for the public good - but, for us, more organized, or prioritized -
would enable this to happen.
