That's something we never got to see was John Belushi wearing a togo made of gasket material.  :D

Last year I bought a new panasonic SD600P high Def camcorder.  Never owned a camcorder so this is all new to me.  This video is the second video I made with it.  

This video was made in Feb of 2011,

There is no audio - I'm trying to learn how to use the camcorder.  I had to buy a video converter to change the format from AVCHD to Mpeg format  so I could post on youtube.  

I always timed out on youtube as the files were to large.  <iframe width="1280" height="720" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-_7NfiO3nVk?hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

It is a walkaround showing the engine before it was taken apart for a rebuild.

You may have to break down and read the manual!  ;D

In the mean time, I'll wipe the drool off my monitor. I WANT ONE!

I'm not afraid to take anything apart.
I am sometimes afraid I'm not going to get it back together.

There is a guy selling a similar Dieselectric setup in Albuquerque for $3k.  I talked to him a couple weeks ago, he said the engine was operational, but the generator was no longer hooked up.  He bought it from a ranch located near Eagle Nest, NM.

Hmmmmm,

I had a fellow email me this morning about a 12.5 unit only it was in Arizona and priced at $2500.  I was going to look at it real hard before I helped him list it here.

Its not the camcorder but the size of the file in HD.  That video was 576990 kb BEFORE it was converted from AVCHD to mpeg.  That video was also NOT produced in the camcorders finest quality setting.  I wonder how large the file would be in the 1080/60p setting, the highest quality video for this camcorder.

I suppose I should get back to reassembling the Witte sometime this winter.

The base in the background looks very nice also! I'll bet it's gonna be a good looking engine!
