Gremlins in a W123 ignition switch assembly? Empirical results do not support this.
A failing or failed W123 ignition switch assembly can be the start of a fiasco of some substantial significance on these vehicles. What may seem like a relatively small failure is actually a catastrophe in progress or completed. There are threads here and elsewhere on the 'net concerning W123 ignition switch assembly failure (usually the tumbler). Having lived through a full-blown one of these failure episodes after not heeding well intentioned advice to address the failing post haste, I avoid said threads as they can cause unpleasant flashbacks for me.
