Chester - Now that makes more sense! I can see the compressor current climbing at that rate with no condenser fan. Sounds like you have the culprit in your sights.
I would still recommend starting capacitor renewal, assuming you have some way of getting them down there.
Please take lots of pictures and notes on what is involved in getting to the fan motor. If it were me, and I could, after all that work to get in there when I buttoned it up there would be a new fan motor installed. Then again, you may just trying to get it working long enough to get back home for a more complete repair. I hope we all helped you along the way. Remember, that poor condenser motor has had some very hot windings with those bad bearings keeping it from getting up to speed.
Stay in touch and I look forward to hearing how it goes. Russ
