Rad_Comanche Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 How is progress coming along on this? I have an A/C one I would love to have refurbished and sent back, as I would like to keep the original. No rush, since I do not actually have working A/C right now, and wintet is done for now.

GrandComanche Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Any chance you have a few of these ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 Hey there, apologies for the delayed response. I’ve been super swamped and haven’t been working on these in a while. I do have all the parts to assemble a complete refurbished unit with new fan control switch, bezel, and all controls refurbished. I just don’t have the time to put one all together at the moment. I’ll update this thread as soon as I get moving on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 Alright, progress has been made at last! I have several panels all stripped down as well as a supply of restored parts and pieces. I have also collected a supply of new fan switches when the original Indak switch is no longer rebuildable. These panels function as new and are completely restored using as many if not all original parts. I will have a couple available by the end of the week but have several more in the works. A complete restored panel is $150 which includes a $25 refundable core charge. If you would like to have your original model restored that service is $125. I take a painstaking amount of time trying to save all the original pieces for these units but on occasion I will use a few small replacement parts such as springs, e clips, screws, contacts etc. Will post some pics of restored units in a few days.

ghetdjc320 Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 By the way, while changing the panel, be sure to inspect and/or swap your fan blower plug. @schardein carries some new plugs and pigtails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 The factory Indak fan motor switches are being meticulously restored. All previous grease and oxidation is removed, the contact rivets are tightened, pcb boards cleaned, housings stripped and refinished. They are absolutely awesome! Here are some restored panel bezels as well. These have 3 additional coats of the matte factory style finish for extra protection. Buttons are being restored as well including the white striping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandComanche Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Are you still adding illumination? If yes, I'll take one of the below pictured panels. I'll also send you my current core to add to your stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghetdjc320 Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Electronics all disassembled and degreased. Housings were acid stripped to bare metal. All contacts will get a nice polish for the best conductivity before reassembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 Here is the first completed panel: @Rubikahn and @GrandComanche You guys have first dibs I’m going to set aside a couple for myself at some point as well. Controls are smooth as butter. The illumination back panel reflectors are hand polished. I tested these with both LED and incandescent “74” style bulbs. Both work very well but I would recommend an LED with a slightly orange glow. That way you get the correct color match to your other accessories but more brightness.

ghetdjc320 Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 One of these units coupled with a restored oem radio from @Minuit a fan plug from @schardein and maybe some new switch bezels and your factory dash will be factory new and optioned out.
