Neither was burned out.  Cruise now works at all speeds.  WTF?

Old cruise controls do that. They can become intermittent. Sometimes using them daily improves reliably and sometimes not (but they USUALLY act up again following a period of disuse). They will often work for an hour or two and then quit or they may not work until the engine is REALLY warmed up. Resolding by someone with really good soldering skills corrects these ABOUT 50% of the time (if you don't have really well developed soldering skills DON'T practice on a cruise amp). Some units really require replacement of the electrolytic capacitors or even transistors. Schematics are very scarce - Mercedes doesn't supply them to anyone.
