Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I do have a K1 bell as I’m in the process of building a K5LA. This 2 chime manifold has no restrictor, so I might give this combo a try. Hopefully I can get that K5LA built and have that on the channel too.

@@johnwestfieldytNote: the K12 sounds best with sudden blasts instead of gentle quilling, Since all the trains that have these in Australia do so because of the electric solenoid.

Hey, thanks for watching! I’ve read on 5 Chime consultants that Metrolink uses a 2 and 4 so I might be incorrect. At some point I will get a straight 4 and try that out. As for the F125’s, they have two horns. One is located underneath (K2H) and one located on the roof (K3LA/K3L). Hope you enjoyed just the same!

Depends on the Rotem/F125. I've seen videos of K2Hs on Metrolink with bells with 2 and 4 as well as bells 2 and 4A.

@@sepa2401 I know what you're saying. I've seen a clip of one with a K24A. However, that was likely a mistake as the majority use a K24.

@@TheRailfan360 Yeah that is likely. That mainly happens when the horn is assembled with the wrong bell accidentally by Micro Precision or when they run out of stocked 4 bells. From what I know, Simalex die casts the horns, and Micro Precision machines and tunes the horns in-house. After all, every K horn starts out as a pile of parts.

@@johnwestfieldyt the rule usually goes for nathan that if it has under 3 bells, its designated by the bells used. a good example of this is cpkc's gp20ecos, they have dual chime horns designated as k13b's, named after the 1 and 3b used on it. hope this helps

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. One of the diaphragms is damaged and creased from over tightening or having too much pressure being applied, leaving a mark from the seat of the bell. I bought a replacement diaphragm so hopefully that fixes it.

Hi there! Thank you for the subscription and like. You may use the audio of the horn itself as long as you credit me in the description. Also, feel free to leave a link to the song when you’re done and I’ll give it a listen!

@@johnwestfieldyt of course. I will mention you. But it may be modified in sound design. Keep that in mind. Anyways, thank ya!!

@@VrantusOfficial sounds good!

I get what you’re saying with the reversed 1 bell. Might try that sometime in the future. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Interestingly enough, another person said the same thing. Bell combination is old cast 1, 2, 3 (modified new cast bell that plays old cast frequency), 4, and new cast 5. Was running this with double diaphragms and all bells forward.

Thanks for the idea. Pretty interesting. I already have a video of my mixed cast P5 with old cast bells 1,2,3 (modified new cast 3 seen in this video), 4, and the new cast 5. Let me know what you think!

Glad to hear this video brought back good memories! Very interesting to hear that these locomotives used this horn. Perhaps a result of a damaged number 4 bell on the P3? Thanks for watching!

Yeah, very interesting. There is a noticeable difference but the two are very similar. I guess the bells may not be that different in the notes they play. Still think I like the new cast more.

@ Definitely agree New cast sounds a little better

Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t have a new cast 1 bell yet. Might get one soon. Would love to try the Sun Rail horn!

I figured it was 2 and 4. Gotta try that next. This combo still sounds okay but I think I’ll like NC 2 and 4 more. Thanks again!

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I’ll definitely have to get a runby of it once my rig is finished. And I agree, a bit high pitched than a K3L but pretty close.

Pretty much!

Thanks for the info! Haven’t heard of the P3M but I gotta say, I like it. Definitely will have to do a runby when I get my setup finished.

@ Of course! Yeah it definitely has a kind of cheery sound to it. I made one of those and they sound sweet at speed.

Hey thanks for checking out my video! That’s a really cool idea. That’s one of my goals, so I’ll be sure to give that a try on my old cast P3’s manifold whenever I can grab a NC 5 bell.

Got a new video up with this setup. Be sure to check it out!

For reference, the 1 bell came from my old cast P3. I already fully took apart the horn and washed it out. I reassembled it and put it and an old cast 2 bell on my low profile manifold. The bell combination is just not that good. Also, the horn was using single diaphragms and I had already used a good amount of air in my tank.

Hey thanks for checking this out. I know a person who was able to get it for me. Can’t go into specifics, but I’ll do a dedicated video on this horn sometime in the future.

Hey there, thanks for the advice. I already replaced the ancient and cracked cork gaskets. I have brand new ones on. Could probably check the inlet again. The 1 bell sounded fine to me, I just think the bell combination is bad. Who knows. Thanks again!

In hindsight I should have honked at him. He might have slowed down more lol

Thanks ElectroAtmos, that was kinda the inspiration behind it. I’ll have my new cast Nathan P2 on the channel sometime soon. More videos are to come!

The water in the machine drains out the bottom through some hoses that go to a drain. I hope that helps.

Hmm never had that error when I worked there. I would recommend cleaning it like I shown in the video. At least using the pellets and rinsing it. If that doesn’t clear the error code I would try and contact someone who is experienced in repairing these machines. I hope this helps!

Hi, never had this message when I worked here. Might be popping up if you haven’t cleaned the machine in a while. I’d reach out to a repairman if you can’t get it fixed. Hope this might help!

Hey there! I do not remember the grounds drawer having a sensor. I believe the sensor is inside the machine itself. The drawer can be rinsed out and put inside a dish washer. The drawer itself is just a piece of plastic with a handle. Hope this helps!

Hello Jacob. My experience with this machine was good. It worked well and didn’t break too often. I enjoyed having the shot splitter as this allowed us baristas to make two espresso drinks at once. Unfortunately Starbucks as a whole is now using the Mastrena II which in my opinion isn’t as good. You can still find Mastrena I’s in some older Starbucks stores or in Starbucks Reserve stores. Hope this helps!

2018 was a good year

Yeah, the versatility of this vehicle is amazing. While that does sound cool, as it is my daily driver, I’m more worried about MPG’s rather than acceleration. 5.3L is no commuter car but I get by if I’m driving it nice and not doing stuff like this.

@@johnwestfieldyt I have a tune and MSD ignition and some exhaust work. it's a fun slow suv lol.

Tuned and still slow

Haha, thanks CJ. This one’s pretty old. I might redo it sometime in the future.

Hey there, I could certainly look into it. Might be a bit though.

Hello Daniel, feel free to ask questions. I might be able to help.

@@johnwestfieldyt are you on Facebook or Instagram where I can pm you much faster?

@@BahamaBoyTV I’m not on either. Sorry. If you have questions, feel free to respond below.

you have to press the rinse button on the left

Hey Samantha, it does not. After inserting the tablets, the machine will prompt you to press the rinse button. After that, the machine will begin the cleaning cycle. I hope that helps!

No problem! I hope this helps!

Perhaps? We never did this. The tablets are specifically made to clean the machine. You could probably use normal soap for cleaning the wand and other pieces if you had to. Hope this helps!

Got no idea honestly. I think it’s this way with a lot of older early 2000’s vehicles. Also, pretty sure the Tahoe’s a 6 speed. Your point still stands though.

@@johnwestfieldyt it is 4 speed btw.

@@Tristand09 I stand corrected. Thank you.

2nd goes from 40 to 90mph

@@corbinswisher559040 to 70 as you can see in the video

Hey! I pressed the rinse button on the machine. The rinse button runs hot water through the machine and cleans the insides with the cleaning pellets. Hope this helps!

Oh no! For us, it was always the metal grill that would get caked up with calcium and milk stuff. I'm glad this video helped lol Good luck!

No problem Juliet, hope this helps!

I totally get ya. The new one's just aren't the same.

@@johnwestfieldyt I know right? And who's call was it to get rid of the shot splitter, making multiple drinks at once is just a nightmare now!!

Hey there Aleksandra, not sure. I would imagine there are. If they fit in the key they will probably work. At work we only ever used the E42 so a little research might help. I hope I was able to answer your question😅

Sorry to offend you man. What else was I going to do with this Grammarly Ad? Make them say curse words?

Hey there. The water pump and drains are on the bottom of the machine. I never worked with them myself. I believe only the mechanics who came in to fix them when they broke were the ones to work with the water pumps.

@@johnwestfieldyt do you happen to know any mechanics or have their contacts, that I can get in touch with? Will greatly appreciate thanks

@@JMTVProbashi Unfortunately not, sorry. Only ever saw one guy come into the store to fix one. Never talked to him. You might have some luck talking to a local Starbucks who still uses the Mastrena Espresso machine and ask about maintenance and who they have fix their’s.
