[MBZ] Becker to the Rescue

I have been holding on to an old Becker Europa II for years. The thing would power up and make terrible noise, but no music. I finally got tired of wishing it would work and sent it out to Becker. Three weeks later and $300, I have near new radio to install into the 450SL. Now all I need

[MBZ] Clay's Adventure for the First Weekend of Autumn

In the morning I drove to the Griot's HQ store because they had the 2nd annual free Speed Shine fill up. Last year it was any size container. This year they got smart and limit it to 35 oz. My gallon jug got a quart. THEN, I headed off to the PnP to see the 420SEL that was on the CL listing but
