W123 diesel coupes weren’t turbo’ed until the early 80s, like the sedans and wagons. This one is NA and has the dreaded ACC servo. Note that they mention the heat and AC isn’t working. That does not bode well… -D > On Jan 5, 2021, at 4:47 PM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes > wrote: > > Might

There are other subtle differences, too, like different torque converters (lock-ups in the 85 models, I believe) that also affect performance. -D > On Jan 5, 2021, at 5:00 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > Mitch Haley via Mercedes writes: > >> Seems like the 617 Turbo was in 78-85

My dad's first computer (1981 or 1982) was a C64. I think he gave it away, but I can ask mom about it. Had the tape drive, but that might have been about the extent of the accessories. He quickly set it aside for a Tandy 1000 with hard drive and letter quality Epson printer.

Its probably worth more now than what you paid for it. Unfortunately the capacitors on those older Macs are known to fail. Standard wisdom is to recap any new-to-you machine since the caps will leak and cause damage.On the one hand its kind of rotten that it happens, on the other hand 30 years
