Resurrected this to show off my "new" addition. My radio plate had been "modified" to fit a modern radio -- lucky for me, it also accomodated the newbie...

PS: True Story...My 7 year-old daughter looked at it and said, cool but then with a serious look on her face asked "But where does the CD go?" --  Kids these days...

Much, much better James.  And to answer your daughter's question: the CD's go in the house.

BTW, if anyone has set screw problems for the knobs, I learned that you can get brand new ones, that fit even my old 230sl with the chrome radio levers, from Radio Shack.  Yep, just buy a set of new knobs for about $1.59 and cannabalize the set screws from them, they fit. Live and learn,

'64 230sl, fully sorted out...ooops, spoke too soon

James,

I have an extra set of 230SL-style Becker radio knobs.  I've been saving them for the proverbial rainy day, but your radio project looks so good you should have them.  Send me an address, and I'll ship them to you.

Becker North America is not on our 'Links Parts Suppliers' page.

I don't have their web address, could someone please add them.

thanks

Hey Thanks David. I'll be in touch. Better yet, how about hand-delivery next time you head over to Nevada County! It will seem like a mere spin around the corner after your Ohio drive...
