I would recommend A Alex & Sons on Harris St. I had the radiator in my
60 recorred there in 90 & it is still fine. I had another 60 radiator
repaired there after accidentally poking a hole in it about 5 years ago. They
are good to deal with & are fairly quick. As I recall, it was just over $200
for the job.

Sounds like a new
switch is in order. The dash light dimmer is built
into the headlight
switch on the '60, right?

I'd try Kleen Core Radiator in Pawtucket, Jim. They're at 844
Mineral
Spring Avenue, 728-3690. They can be kind of crusty and difficult
to take
from time to time, but they're the best in the area to my
knowledge. Your
best bet is probably to just drive over there some morning
and stand around
until somebody has time to talk to you - they have _way_
more business than
they need. I don't know if they rebuild compressors or
not (sounds like
yours is seized) , but if not they can tell you where to
go. I'll be taking
my '69 there eventually (when I have cash and courage
enough) to see if the
Auto-Temp I can be brought back from the
dead.
Best of luck.
