Like John said above if the original compressor is working fine, leave it and restore the existing unit. It is indeed a waste on a new compressor if its not needed. I have machines that I restored 5-6 years ago with original compressors that are still running to this day.
If it needs a compressor replace it with a good quality USA made unit and be done with it! Ive had both Chinese and USA and there IS a difference!!!
I had a 72 in my office for a couple of years with a Chinese compressor that thing would rattle your teeth out when it kicked on, I also put a new restored unit in a 72 last summer that was Built by Erik Mckay out of MD. That was the most quiet unit that I have had. You had to literally put your hand on the machine to see that it was running.

Eric McKay just did a new deck for my WD-5. I am looking forward to installing it. It looks great. I will keep you posted.
