Yes yet another stray lead back to the land of soda-pop, In my travels Friday 02/28, rounded a corner and there it was!
A Cavalier C-51 sitting in the drive with a for sale sign! (screeching brakes...) owner was home and we stuck a deal, and it followed me home! it's complete, and has the hand-grab bar and iron dolley wheels also. only thing is the wiring is ratty, so any body out there got a wiring diagram with the compressor terminal layout??? (yes it runs, but it's got "peanut-brittle" for wires)

It's always a good feeling to find something out of the blue!
Johnie, I just checked the C-51 manual and found no electrical schematic but since there's nothing but the refrigeration unit, the fan in the evaporator and possibly a coin mech heater, this should be straight forward to wire. It's very similar to the diagram you posted for a 60's model except there would be no wiring to a cabinet harness.

Thanks for the reply Jim, once I got it inside I can see the layout now, was wondering which of the three terminals on the compressor are the "start" "run" and "common"

Is there an ID Tag for the refrigeration unit so I can possibly look that info up...?

Jim, I found the following info on the back plate:
Frigidaire 1/8 H.P. 115VAC/50/60 Cycles 2.4 amps 1lbs F12
17X5369 model no. 5440551
with a Frigidaire YT relay as a wiring junction block
here's a crude drawing of the bottom of the unit as viewed from the rear.

Got it Jim! it goes from left to right,
left terminal=common
center terminal=start (about 5.9-6.2 ohms to common)
right terminal=run (about 3.5-4.2 ohms to common)
put a 3-in-1 starter booster on it and she fired right up!
good and cold, and I replaced the evaporator motor, an old
Delco part, (a very odd little motor to cross reference!)

Sounds good Johnie!
I apologize for the delay, I was away from home for a couple of days and couldn't get to reference materials.
Your diagram really confused me because I could figure what was what...
