this is for a 300SDL? cruise control amps are readily available for that
car. i tend to prefer the beckmann rebuilds but most of the rebuilds are

any kind of mass produced assembly line work on something like this would
appear very sloppy when compared to having someone who is willing to take
the time to do it right expertly. i'd think a beckmann would look
better,.

hours.

So far as I know. Mine all have.

Cruise control amp? You got ripped off. Depending on which one you

Was Rusty's new, or repaired? That'd make a big difference.
I used to charge $40 +parts to fix 'em, with next to no warrantee.
