Is the size of the capacitor clearly marked, or is some work required to determine the correct size?
Yesterday we used my wagon which had been sitting for several weeks with the battery disconnected. I reconnected the negative cable, and she fired right up despite the cold weather we're having, but we were in a hurry and I totally forgot to reset the clock. It was almost exactly an hour fast. SWMBO wasn't wearing her watch, and I didn't look at mine (nor did either of us look at our cell phones). We went all day using the car's time, got home thinking it was very late, and we were pleasantly surprised to find we had an extra hour. I guess we've celebrated DST twice this fall/winter, hopefully that won't mean we do it twice this spring. -Max -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Cathey Sent: Sunday, January 09, 2011 11:31 AM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] (SPAM?)

The non-Frako capacitors in my mid-70's 114 clocks are still good. I didn't replace them. Pretty much every Frako electrolytic in the later-model clocks has gone bad. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
