[MBZ] Becker
Anybody ever tried one of the Becker look-a-like stereos from Crutchfield? I have heard good stuff about the company, but no experience with the MB replacements that are supposed to look like the Beckers. Or anyone have a working Becker that fits the 124? Donald H.

I've had a FedEx guy leave the box at the intersection between our private road and the county road - two lots down from our drive. If I have a choice, I never choose them.

Re: [MBZ] Becker
Look at a Continental. They look period correct (more so in the older models) and have all the modern amenities, like Bluetooth. Plug and play, too. I can find some links if you like, there are a number of good sellers on eBay. Note that there are a lot of variants, too, that offer things like a CD player. -D > On Sep 2, 2023, at 7:41 AM, Donald Snook via Mercedes > wrote: > > Anybody ever tried one of the Becker look-a-like stereos from Crutchfield? > > I have heard good stuff about the company, but no experience with the MB > replacements that are supposed to look like the Beckers. > > Or anyone have a working Becker that fits the 124? > > Donald H.

Re: [MBZ] OT Lawn tractor issues

I put mine on my newest not-in-service flooded cell battery, a 2014 Interstate Megatron. Charged it fully, made sure the plates were flooded, and let the Minder do its thing. It started out, a few months after its last recharge, at 10.6V. After a couple of days a cell or two started getting warm. After a week, I unhooked it and the voltage plummeted to below the original 10.6. Somehow, the minder seems to have enhanced a slightly shorted cell or two to make them more strongly shorted. OTOH, after a week on the minder, my second newest spare battery (a 2007 Walmart Everstart) is doing quite well, I've been using it to jump start a lawn tractor and wouldn't hesitate to stick it in a car. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
