Picked this up yesterday, only took me 15 hours round trip.   Friends say I'm crazy, but I believe I got a nice original.    Started to detail it, however got to get some goof off as there is old tape and other sticky residue on it.       The bezel is very nice for an original.     Plugged it in, unfortunately it doesn't cool..that's what I figured after I saw a service tap.

Any recommendations as to where to send it would be greatly appreciated.


UPDATE:   Replaced thermostat - works fantastic.

very nice. Please tell me you were going to leave it as an original? Have the letters been redone? They look a little thicker than usual.

Leaving it original.. I think nothing has been touched on it...   Only thing I'm replacing is the door liner and the door gasket...
