I was wondering about the open shroud, does it need to be completely open or would side and top vented work? The homemade one from the PO was solid on top with only a few levers on each side. Is there a problem with going without a shroud for the time being as long as I stay away from the low hanging branches? I am hoping i could get an icon to fit, I like their price and warranty better than the inland one.

> That is fantastic! Those old BayBreeze units are rock solid. Glad the wiring diagram pointed you to the problem. I don't have a source for a new shroud, but I have in the past run across such. Do some research and be sure that the shroud is designed for the original BayBreeze (ie top exiting fan).

>>> Those old Armstrong BayBreeze AC units were wonderful. They are totally repairable by any decent HVAC person. Here is a link to the wiring diagram from a '64 unit, but it should be the same for your '69. The biggest issue with repairing these is that the drip pan on the inside of the Airstream tends to be rusted out but you can have a sheetmetal fab shop replicate if necessary.

>>> The good news is that you can get the compressor to start. It may not have any freon in the system, but again, an HVAC guy can charge the unit and check for leaks. As for the fan not turning, there are relays for both high and low speeds and those are likely the issue with the fan not starting.
