I would ASSUME the 123 keys are still available, but I ASSUMED the late
116 keys would be as well. In fact, I would have ASSUMED the late 116
keys would more likely to be available since they are used in the 201
which ran up thru the early 90's. Maybe they are similar but a little
different. I guess I need to compare them sometime.

I was about to reply that the key to my '79 300D and '83 300D were the same but
I just compared them and they are not the same. Similar key but not exactly the
same.
I guess I better not lose the key to my 116. Are the 123 keys still available I
wonder?
Next time I'm near my local locksmith I'll try to remember to ask if they have
any blanks.

I stopped by the local MB dealer to attempt to order a key for this 79
450SEL that I lost the key to. This is the later small square side cut
key like used on the 201 etc. Kid at the counter was very confused, not
sure what key it was etc. He said he needed to get the old timer to
come up there. Old timer shows up and immediately says "Hi Kaleb".
This is the dude I started buying parts from when I was 16 years old,
still there. Last time i was in there was probably 5-10 years ago.
Anyway, he told the kid which key it is, they are in stock. He starts
ordering it. The old timer comes back and says he just realized it was a
116 and not a 126. And nope, those keys are NLA. I assume this is the
same key the 201 and and the later 107 uses so I assume those are NLA
also? WTF?
Anyway, does anyone think if this shows NLA at the dealer it could be
obtained from the classic center? What about pulling one of the door
handles and sending it somewhere to get a key cut? The dealer gave me a
couple of local places that can supposedly do this but not sure if they
really can or not.
