ATTABOY and ATTAGIRL!

A small way I differed from our beloved Herr Doktor. His climate in PA must have been different than mine. On the 56 Karmann GHia, I had fuse problems. That is where I learned to twist em. Those were exposed under the hood.MB fuses in a nice tight fusebox hold up well. CURIOSITY: Did MB ever stop using "German" (DIN?) fuses in favor of the 'merkun type?

Re: [MBZ] 1998 SL500
Looks like a Mustang? I don't disagree, but for someone who is looking for a convertible roadster it's a heck of a deal. I kid you not, you could take the Pano top off and sell it for $2,000-$2,500 any day. They are in tremendous demand. A regular steel top can be found for under $500 if you wanted a replacement. Do that and it costs you $3,000 for the car. Dan Sent from my iPad > On Jul 14, 2015, at 11:49 AM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > > I want to fall asleep just looking at that car.

Re: [MBZ] '87 30TD rev counter.
My W123 tach is also going wacky - acts the same even when I swap the under-hood sensor. Oscillates, goes to zero, generally misbehaves. Used to work great so I am thinking it has to be the sensor and NOT the PU unit that screws into the tach chassis housing. Maybe I should just swap out the cluster gauge for one of my many spare used units?
