Dick Benjamin:
Your helpful information a few days was
appreciated. My friend & I have his '68 Auto-Temp working much better
now. Still slight problem, but better by far than when we started.
We have had problems with bad compressor, wrong
compressor, bad pushbutton module, bad control box, questionable replacement
control box, stopped up reservoirs, and of course bad hoses and hoses put on
wrong ports by who-knows-whom.
The check valves were (and still are) all bad in
that they have no check function, i.e., they pass air in any direction
through all ports.
The fix for this (which seems to be ok), was to buy
ordinary 2-port (in and out) check valves, available under the "help" label in
most parts stores. We put a new 2-port valve ahead of the "source"
port of each original valve. The original valves still act as 3
or 4 way connectors.
Again thanks for helping us move this
troubleshooting project along.
