Re: [MBZ] Fun With Beckers

Possibly. Typically it’s the encoder that’s bad. I’ve had some luck with spritzing them with contact cleaner, but for the most part when they exhibit this kind of behavior they’re on the way out. -D > On Nov 5, 2017, at 10:16 AM, MG via Mercedes wrote: > > So when

Re: [MBZ] Fun With Beckers

So when you turn the knob in the newer radios and the volume bounces up and down with each click or even when you turn the knob really fast, is it always the encoder that is bad or could it also be just the little switch that sends the pulses? MG Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: Like one of

If I take one apart what would the encoder look like? Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 4, 2017, at 4:16 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > So my fix-it guy says the digital encoders used on the older Beckers are NLA. > But - he says he uses the same one that’s used

Re: [MBZ] Fun With Beckers

So my fix-it guy says the digital encoders used on the older Beckers are NLA. But - he says he uses the same one that’s used on later model radios common to the W210, which would be the 3303, 3306 and others. He said it’s backwards compatible. So I guess you’ll need to tear a later model

Re: [MBZ] Fun With Beckers

No, unless you locate a source for the digital encoder they use. I know a guy that replaces them for something like $60 if you send him the whole faceplate. I’ll ask him if he can give me the part number and a source. Got any decent knobs? Looks like they are mistaking them for being gold

Re: [MBZ] Fun With Beckers

Have you seen any sort of fix for the volume knob issue other that sending it in to get the radio rebuilt? Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 4, 2017, at 12:34 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > I really wanted to get the original Becker back in my wagon, so I put a
