The Zero-Armed Bandit - KNPR

In one of the most unusual ransom schemes in Nevada history, a mad bomber held an entire casino captive with one devilishly mysterious machine . “I don’t think it belongs here. Such was the assessment of Bob Vinson, the graveyard shift supervisor at Harvey’s Wagon Wheel Casino in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. It was a metallic gray box about the size of a desk, with a smaller box attached on top near the rear right corner. The front face of the smaller box was an incomprehensible control panel occupied by 28 metal toggle switches in five neat rows, each labeled with a numbered sticker. It was approximately 6:30 a. m. on Tuesday, August 26, 1980, and although Bob Vinson had been on shift all night long, he hadn’t heard any large equipment delivery commotion from his nearby office, and he was sure this thing hadn’t been there an... Whoever had left the machine had taken the time to place each corner on blocks of wood, and these blocks pressed deep dimples into the red-orange carpet, suggesting that the equipment had significant mass. In spite of its resemblance to some kind of manufactured electromechanical office machine, it had no power cord, and no obvious power switch, just the 28 enigmatic toggles. Source: knpr.org

2005 Dodge Power Wagon Dynatrac Free-Spin Kit Install - Problem Solved - Four Wheeler Network

Our ’05 Dodge Power Wagon is a great truck, but there are a couple things that have bugged us for a while. First, like many other modern 4x4s, the front axle was designed with sealed unit bearings. For our truck, OE replacement unit bearings cost as much as $450 each when purchased from a dealership. Nabbing one from a parts house is far less expensive, about $120 each, but could be of dubious quality. And, the spinning internals absorb engine power and thus decrease fuel mileage. Well, we want tougher wheel bearings, and we want a way to disconnect the axle’s internals from the wheels. Yep, it’s called the Dynatrac Free-Spin Heavy-Duty Hub Conversion Kit, and we installed it. The Free-Spin kit for our Power Wagon came with everything needed to ditch the factory unit bearing setup for tougher, serviceable wheel bearings, races,... The kit also includes hubs, spindles, outer stub shafts, ABS tone rings, and ABS sensor mounts. Also included are manual locking hubs, which will give us a way to unlock the axle’s internals from the wheels. com ) comes with Warn Premium manual hubs, but we went all-Dynatrac by upgrading to the DynaLoc manual hubs for a few more bucks. Dynatrac says that the DynaLoc hubs are three times stronger than other locking hubs and are the first truly new locking hub design in two decades. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
