Hi John,
My CC Amp died a while back & I thougt I;d try to resolder the CC Amp on
my '78 240D - But I'm not ready to change the capacitors. Which ones do I
buy? Does Radio Shack carry them?
Also, the mechanics of resoldering the joints of the amp - I assume I
touch the soldered connection until it loosens and then solder it back?
TIA -

Is there an adjustment on these? Other than this problem the cruise
works great.
Sounds like bad capacitors in the amp. pretty classic symptom.
Electrolytics are only good for 15 years or so. There are a couple of us
who have changed out the caps with great success. (I think one of the
Don's did/does)
While replacing them it makes sense to resolder every joint on that board
as the solder used was pretty crappy and is prone to breakage and/or bad
joints. I ended up desoldering everything and resoldering it all with
fresh solder and it worked like new!
Personally I dont like using cruise (much) since it makes it too easy to
zone out. Of course it would be more fun to have autobahns here in
america too ;)
