I plugged it in and it made a whirring sound but don't think any cooling was going on, I didn't leave it on long enough to see, def needs a go through,

oh yeah I got it for free, seller said I sounded like a nice guy and wanted to make my weekend, just kidding, I wish

Great find, that should shine up real nice!  Welcome to the club.  Maybe they are coming out of the woodwork because people are posting more pictures which is great because we all like to see.
