I am not sure what part number they were looking at. The old dude knew
which key to find but I supposed it is possible they were just
discontinued. How does a person get ahold of Tom and I will see what he
can do.

Unless they JUST discontinued them, I ordered sidewinder keys for my 116
last month at the dealer. It is a 201 number that I got from Tom Hanson at
the CC.

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.
