Hey guys. Working on a 41 year old BM23 I picked up for a song. ($45 at a thrift store!). Needed a freon charge (yeah, I know R-12 hasn't been used in eons. Old habits...), so got her looked at, vented,and recharged with R-401. She cooled like a champ for a couple of months, then the gremlins struck. She started OVERcooling. Then started to trip the overload, even on "1". So... replaced starter relay, overload AND temp control... and much to my chagrin, bupkus. Compressor fan kicks on, evap fan runs, but nada from the compressor. Am I to face my fears and source a new compressor for the old gal? I am at a total loss.
