[R129 SL] Re: R129CD from MBUSA

[r129list@mbcoupes.com]

Deneal, thanks for that link, that is exactly the CD "Introduction 
into Service" that I mean. Apparently they changed the name. It is an 
interesting CD with some info, avi videos of the electric top etc, it 
contains things that were new for the R129, and introductory notes 
for the workshop. But not the workshop manuals and certainly no 
substitute for them.

That is the original CD of which the previously mentioned ebay 
auction sells bootleg copies, IMHO. The original price $98 for an 
original MB CD is normal, and nice that MB sell it at all to the 
public, but for a copy I would not recommend to pay more than, say 
$15-20. I think that is roughly how much they are from the MB club 
here. If anyone wants one, let me know and I get you in contact with 
the literature chap.
