Hi - I'm trying to restore the original look of my '79 450 SL cockpit. I located a vintage Becker radio (Europa II), it works, and it has the antenna control trigger. The previous owner had butchered the connections when he installed a Pioneer w/subwooferand even some of the cavity for mounting the radio (not visible to the passengers, thankfully). Question is, can someone refer me to a good wiring diagram (with pictures ;^) for connections between the antenna motor, antenna rocker switch, and radio antenna control trigger? I can't be sure the original connections are intact, as other electrical connections were jumbled so I need the whole diagram. Also, is there a simple way to troubleshoot the antenna motor without the radio installed?

I'm happy to buy a good general mechanical/electrical maintenance manual if one is recommended.

Thanks much,

JSJ

 

Hi - did you ever get the wiring diagram for the radio?

Thanks,
