I don't care for them as much as the Bosch ones, because the Bosch ones give you a meter so you can get a sense of the problem. To be fair, I've never used one of the Grundig ones, but I've watched one being used many years ago. They just have 3 lights on them that indicate that the part being tested is Okay, "Kinda' bad", or Bad. Since there are all degrees of "Kinda' bad" possible, I suspect that I would miss the meter readings. BTW, there were 2 different models of the Bosch tester, early and late, and there were at least 2 different versions of the late one: One had pushbuttons with snap action, while the buttons on the other one just press in smoothly with no snap. The Bosch tester to get is the late model (checks all years, although the early one will be just fine for your 69) with the snap action switches. Mine is the late one with smooth pushbuttons, and I have to wiggle those to make good contact. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
