I used this guy to repair my radio from my 1987 560 SL. It is a show class car and I was very paticular about the repair. The owner John is a very stand up guy who will work hard to get the job done right. His prices also seemed to me to be very reasonable from othe sites I visited. His site is http://www.radiomanrepair.com/

Dr. Brian Hawkins

I'm going to have to drop him a line and see what'll take to rebuild the 0780 that I had in my SDL as I set off the alarm by accident. The display is now "- - - -"

How was the turn around time?

Becker in NJ can remove the ---- feature for you and update your tape parts for $60 as long as there are no other problems.

Let me know if you want more info.

I wish I knew what caused that internally, I'm not scared of solder...

Unfortunatly its more than that.... The EEprom in the unit has to be reset using a special tool that only MB dealers and BNA have. I think the dealers charge $30

Perhaps I'll call about, I have two units that are " - - - - "
