Might be a little off topic - maybe I should start a new thread - but I've been wondering whether it would be feasible to replace the older style console and its switches with a newer console (like in 83 -85 w123 or W126) - I have some of both styles (and some consoles with no switches); the older style switches (with the chromed plastic bezels) in my '80 model 300cd are not as robust nor as easy to maintain as the newer thinner switches (without the chrome) on the later model W123. I have picked up some of the female connectors for the newer style switches but haven't yet dug into the wiring differences - and I seeem to recall that there are some differences. Has anyone tried this upgrade?
