[BusNit]

I didn't think of finding out what the rating was on the Dayton motor so I ordered a straight 20MFD capacitor and the proper start cap with the 15k resistor. I decided to keep the thermistor in the circuit since it all worked for the last 30 years. hadn't thought about just removing all that junk and going with a new hard start cap. That's ok. I can dabble a little with a/c systems but not a true engineer with them. Of all the tools I own for HVAC, I do not have a recovery machine, tank or the capability to sweat silver solder. Perhaps If I did, maybe I could go a little further? (Recovery of R22 and disconnection of lines)

I do plan on straightening the fins as I have the tool and giving these units a really good wash down. They are full of dirt both Oregonian and Arizonian dirt! As for the alumiconn connections, I was just going to solder everything. Yes, I am the solder, make it permanent king! (Solder now, ask question later!) True believer in minimizing resistance and failure points.
