Question W107 Intermittent Cruise

Hi all:
I have owned 5 W107s over the years and they all seem to share a characteristic...intermittent cruise control function. This seems to be a common problem along with HVAC glitches. The 380SL ('82) recently purchased is no exception. There was no cruise function during my past two weeks of ownership but I still attempted to engage at each opportunity. Yesterday it suddenly seemed to work normally. I cycled it several times and all seemed well. Then just as suddenly it is inop. I notice that many cars are advertised with "Intermittent Cruise". Is there a common failure that results in this 'standard feature'? Thanks BB

BBay,
A common cause of failure are bad solder joints in the Cruise Amplifier. I could swear there was a post here that showed pics of the fix but I can't find.
