The 81 that I am slowly working on is going to need a new compressor.  Would like to keep it as original as possible so I would like to find a donor unit from another machine. Have been keeping my eyes out for a V80 parts machine since it has the same configuration.  Are there any other models that use the same cooling deck arrangement?  Also, has anyone ever replaced just the compressor with a donor unit from another less desireable model?  Mine has the pancake style version.  I think I have seen that style in the 56s' and 39s.  If I don't have any luck with those options, I will most likely send it off to Eric and have him retrofit it with a new unit, but would prefer an older model.  If someone finds a pallet of NOS Tecumsehs out there, give me a call! hopefull

       Keep an eye on all those early squaretop Vendo and Cavalier machines in your area. They usually have the pancake compressors too although sometimes the copper lines are in a different location but are easily re-routed.
