Many thanks to: Phillip, Mak, Mitch, Jim Cathey, Jim Friesen, and anyone I missed for your help on the A/C. Just happened to get good prices on 7.5 and 35 mfd. capacitors from an A/C guy and tried them. Both the fan and compressor work, but the control unit doesn't turn on the compressor. When the capacitor went bad it must have taken the control unit with it. I'm going to use the control unit for the fan and hook the the compressor to a relay/thermostat assembly I have on hand.
Jim Friesen warned me about the risk of fire when bypassing the fire prevention circuits in the control panel and I apprecitate it. However, since the fan shows an internal overheat switch. the compressor has one as well, and since I only run the A/C when I'm in the shop; it's probably a reasonably safe gamble. Hope so anyway.
