Title: Becker Europa AM FM Stopped Working
Post by: n/a on September 06, 2004, 11:18:30
My Becker Europa AM FM simply stopped working today....will not turn on at all.....the radio was restored within the last 3 years.....are there any fuses etc in the radio I can look at for a quick fix?  My manual does not list anything about the radio

There is a very small fuse holder for the radio near the radiator expansion tank.  It is mounted to a bracket on the fender well that also includes the voltage regulator.  Hope this solves your problem.

Thanks Jeff.....I found the fuse....but no luck....I am not sure what the problem is.....the radio was restored.....If I have to send it out for repair does anyone know where to send these Becker Europas?

Well, there's probably more then one place to send the Becker for repair, but the best place to send it is back to Becker in New Jersey, where they maintain a repair shop.  They are one of the few Mercedes suppliers dedicated to preservation and restoration of nearly everything they ever made.

Contact Ed Ebel at EEbel@harmanbecker.com and he will provide you with pricing, shipping instructions and might even do a little troubleshooting with you to ensure you have not overlooked anything.
