Hey all -
Just finished my first machine. It is a WD5 I purchased during a car show in PA. Wasn't in terrible shape when i started, but i stripped it down, painted and striped it, powdercoated the inside and put it all back together. Many thanks to Eric at global compressors for a first rate job of restoring the refrigeration unit.
I haven't posted on here yet, but found a lot of helpful topics and information during my restoration. I usually do cars, and this was a really nice (and quick) project that I had a lot of fun on.
Thanks,
Josh

Sweet! Is the embossing hand-painted or did you use the masking method?  Tim |

Also, can I get the electrical schematics for the compressure on the WD-5? I have taken mine apart electrically, and what to make sure I put in back together correctly.

I wish i had them, but Eric from Global Compressors did my whole compressor, including wiring. Not sure if he has them readily available or not.
