Oooh, if the TV fails you can use the lens to make "the lens of death" or a solar cooker, whichever you prefer. :) A friend of mine got his up over 700F (the limit of our measuring technology) on an average New England spring day. -Curt From: Rick Knoble via Mercedes To: Mercedes Discussion List Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2015 10:52 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] (MBZ) '84 300D multi-purpose stalk Original Message From: Mountain Man via Mercedes Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2015 8:55 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Reply To: Mountain Man Subject: Re: [MBZ] (MBZ) '84 300D multi-purpose stalk Rick wrote: > I would not use them if they were free...

Fortunately on a 123 the stalk is relatively easy to replace because if you intend to keep the car you'll be doing it again.
