Dave, if you can get a closeup of the fuseholder and post it her or PM me I would appreciate it. mine is missing and I think wreckerman said all of the ones he had acces to were missing the same part. I was able to get the condenser fan and everything running using a screwdriver in the fuseholder, but stopped when I smellled something funny. My compressor looks like it has leaking seals and looks very simalar to the ones on our mid seventies GM vehicles that we owned in that era.

I take a close up of it in the morning on my way to work. It has a fuse in it and seams to be good, when I kick on the condenser breaker it really pulls down the output form the motor. I have tried to spin the condenser fan by hand with the breaker off to see if it will spin freely and all I can get it to move is like an inch or so. I have a feeling it might have some rust or something holding it, and if I can just get it to break free it should spin.

Dave,

I saw it on ebay and low ball bid the thing. The guy had a buy it now of $3800 and I knew it would never get there. No one else bid on it so when it closed I had the only bid. After about three weeks they guy sent me a second chance offer for what I had bid. I called his phone number and asked him how much if we do it off ebay to save him the fees and he said he would take another $100 off. So I got the thing for about 1/4 of his asking price.

This afternoon I ran the power cables over and in and hooked up the dist. box and the lights. Flipped the switch and the lights came on and all the test lights work when pushed.
