psfred,

Thanks for the reminder to check the fader, I'd forgotten about that piece of $%^&*. I've got some contact cleaner and will give it a squirt later today.

I agree that we are seeing more owners of the venerable W124.128 on this site. I'm inspired by that guy http://www.mindspring.com/~houlihan/mb.htm and his 340k mile 2.5. I hope to achieve that kind of mileage. At the rate I go, it would take about 10 years.

Chris
